Maroons Head Coach Tyler Roeszler says he was honoured to coach a team that showed so much comradery throughout the season.

"These guys are willing to go through a wall for each other and you just have a different level of investment, a different level of intensity when these kids come out.," he says. "They love the guy they're playing and do whatever it takes to block a shot or sacrifice their body in order to help the team win. These kids are absolutely incredible."

The Flyers will take on the London Nationals in the playoff finals.
