Mavericks Report: Regular Season Champions

The record-breaking season for the Missouri Mavericks gained another notch, as they claimed the Brabham Cup as the regular season champions. It happened on a Wednesday match-up with the Evansville IceMen, as they won 2-1 to become the regular season champions of the ECHL. With little to play for until the playoffs roll around, it could be forgiven if the Mavericks let off the pedal in their weekend tilt with the Allen Americans. That's what happened on Saturday, as they lost 4-1. However, they regained their composure and handed the Americans a 3-1 defeat on Sunday.

The Mavericks are home this week, as they look to finish the season with momentum, as they take on Quad City on Wednesday before a back-to-back with Allen on Friday and Saturday.

Mavericks Report: Changes Abound

With success comes teams inevitably knocking at the door, and that was the case for Josh Robinson, who was called up to Springfield of the AHL, where he made his debut this week. Unfortunately, he was on the wrong end of a 7-2 loss. With Robinson's call-up, that meant the Mavericks had to rely on the goaltending duo of Parker Milner and Steven Summerhays this week.

Milner got the first crack on Tuesday against Tulsa, and he made his time count, as he helped shutout the Oilers 3-0. Friday, the Mavericks took on the Allen Americans in the first of four home games that will be televised locally, and thanks to Milner, the Mavericks made this game a success, as they won 4-2. Saturday, the Mavericks began their back-to-back games with Evansville, and with Milner in net once again and a Sebastian Sylvestre goal in overtime, the Mavericks were able to escape with a 4-3 win. Sunday was a different story, as Steven Summerhays was in net and played well. However, an unlucky play resulted in the game winning goal for the IceMen as they would take a 2-1 win over the Mavs.

The Mavericks make an Indiana road trip this week, as they visit the Indy Fuel on Tuesday before games with the Fort Wayne Komets on Wednesday and Friday before coming home for a Sunday tilt with the Rapid City Rush.

Mavericks Report: Back to Work

Last week's Mavericks Report was not put up, since I was preparing for NHL All-Star Weekend in Nashville, and there will be things mentioned later about that. This week's Mavericks Report will cover the past week and the week I missed.

On January 22 and 23, the Mavericks concluded their road trip in Tulsa, winning the first game 2-1, but losing 6-3 Saturday after allowing a third period barrage in the latter game. The Mavericks came home last week to take on the Evansville IceMen on Tuesday, and in a wild affair, the Mavericks managed to eke out a 6-5 win in overtime. Friday and Saturday, the Mavericks continued their dominance of the Wichita Thunder in a 2-1 win Friday and a 5-2 win on Saturday.

The Mavericks take a brief road trip to Tulsa on Wednesday before coming back home for a Saturday tilt with the Colorado Eagles.

Mavericks Report: Still Rolling...

2015 ended for the Missouri Mavericks the way they hoped, as they laid a 7-1 thumping on Wichita at home last Thursday.  Similarly, 2016 began as they wanted, as they put down Allen 4-1 on Friday before hitting the road on Saturday at Evansville.  They trailed entering the third period, but were able to force overtime, where they closed the deal 4-3.

The Mavericks continue their road trip, as they travel to Tulsa for a Tuesday night game before heading to Rapid City, SD for two games on Friday and Sautrday.

Mavericks Report: Ending the Year on a High Note

With a new winning streak that includes a 3-1 win over Allen on Saturday, the Missouri Mavericks will look to not only end 2015 on a winning note when they take on Wichita on Thursday, but also begin 2016 the same way with Allen coming into town on Friday before hitting the road to Evansville for a Saturday tilt.
