Blues Capture RHL Stanley Cup, Sweeping Red Army in Thrilling Final
The Blues are RHL Stanley Cup champions for the second time in RHL history. In a best-of-three Final filled with drama, heroics, and a whole lot of goals, the Blues secured the championship in just two games, defeating the Red Army in a thrilling sweep.
Game 1 was nothing short of a classic—a back-and-forth battle that saw the Blues outlast the Red Army 9-8 in a high-scoring shootout. Leading the charge was Greg Rayburn, who put on a performance for the ages, netting five of the team’s nine goals. Every time the Red Army seemed to find an answer, Rayburn was there with a response of his own, willing his team to victory.
But just as crucial to the Blues' success was goaltender David Yarham, who turned in a highlight-reel performance. In a game where defense was optional, Yarham made the timely stops that mattered most, standing on his head to keep the relentless Red Army attack at bay in the final moments.
With momentum fully on their side, the Blues carried their offensive firepower and unwavering confidence into Game 2, leaving no doubt that they were the league’s best. They secured the series-clinching victory in dominant fashion by winning 5-3, hoisting the RHL Stanley Cup and celebrating a well-earned championship.
For Rayburn, Yarham, and the rest of the Blues, this was a triumph built on resilience, teamwork, and the ability to deliver in the biggest moments. As the dust settles on another RHL season, one thing is clear—Blue are on top of the hockey world once again.
