Bulls Fall Short In SPHL Championship

PELHAM, AL - The dream season for the Birmingham Bulls ended this weekend just short of the ultimate goal of a championship. The Hunstville Havoc swept the Bulls in the SPHL President's Cup series two games to none to capture their second consecutive SPHL title.

Huntsville beat the Bulls 4-3 in overtime to take Game 1 of the Southern Professional Hockey League finals Friday night, and then defeated Birmingham 4-2 Saturday to capture the title.

The Bulls, in only the team's second season of existence, finished second in the Southern Professional Hockey League this season, and runners-up in the playoffs. Topping off the successful season were an MVP trophy for Josh Harris, a Coach of the Year award for Jamey Hicks and a Goaltender of the Year award for Mavric Parks.
