Black Bears hold celebration as reigning FPHL Champions
BINGHAMTON, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – The Binghamton Black Bears' second straight FPHL Championship title came around 72 hours ago, but the celebrations circulating the team and the city have only just begun. Today, outside of Visions Veterans Memorial Arena, a celebration event took place for people to come and show their respect for the team that has made it happen once again on the ice. 'It's still hard to put things in perspective, but I can't wait to re-watch the game, and it's amazing what we've accomplished,' said head coach Brant Sherwood. 'It's all credit to these guys.' Hundreds of people gathered out front of the Arena to cheer on the team, which took to the stage and shared their gratitude for the city, and all had one clear thought of a 3rd in a row in mind. 'We wanted to do this at the start of the season and to reach our goal, and to get it done,' said captain Tyson Kirkby. 'It's unbelievable, like words, like words can't express how we feel.' The Commissioner's Cup was set out on display, and after some words from Coach Sherwood and some players, people were able to take pictures with the Cup and get memorabilia signed by the champions of the Federal Prospects Hockey League.

How to Run it Back: The Binghamton Black Bears sweep Carolina as back-to-back Commissioner's Cup Champs
BINGHAMTON, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – The Binghamton Black Bears came back to home ice at Visions Veterans Memorial Arena up 2-0 in the Commissioner's Cup Finals, looking to finish off the Carolina Thunderbirds for the second straight season in a clean sweep. Carolina would get on the board first, as 9:23 into the first period, Gus Fork tucked in near post to go up 1-0. In the second, the Black Bears would tie it quick, as CJ Stubbs finds the back of the net to even it up, and then just under four minutes later, Austin Thompson finds himself out in front and takes the lead for Binghamton on the power play. The Thunderbirds got a power play of their own, and three minutes later, with a shot from the point, Roman Kraemer tied it for the visitors. Late in the 2nd, however, the game would be sealed, as Scott Ramaekers slides it in front to Zac Sirota, and he would finish what would be the game-winning goal. In the third, Blake Tosto would add one following some nice stick work by Cam Clark, who would get the assist, and then Tyson Kirkby would be in on the breakaway and make it five. The Binghamton Black Bears become the first team in FPHL history to win back-to-back Commissioner's Cup titles. Last season, they swept Carolina, and they did again this season, with a final of 5-2.
