The format of this will be slightly different than I usually make since it’s all about the Calder Cup.
Shortly after winning the first ever championship in (Manchester) franchise history, several Monarchs players took to social media to share their enthusiasm. But, more on that later.

I’ll put some news coverage of the Monarchs’ win here, including some photos from Jon Rosen.

Over the last couple days, most of the players have taken to their twitter and instagram (those that have it, anyway) accounts to share their gratitude and photos of their victory.
All photos, thoughts and quotes belong to their respective owners; I own nothing, gain no profit from this nor am I responsible for anything that was put on the Internet.

So happy to see the smile on @JRouby ‘s face while he carried that Cup. Few people know how much work he has put in the past three years.

.@kenmonarchs getting a Calder is equivalent to when Bob Miller got his first Cup. Long wait, but worth it, and so well deserved.
