In the 2025 Kelly Cup Playoffs, the South Carolina Stingrays were unexpectedly eliminated by the Orlando Solar Bears in Game 7. Hudson Thornton scored the decisive goal, marking his first playoff point. Despite leading the series, the Stingrays could not secure the final win, losing both Game 6 and Game 7. The Stingrays, who led the ECHL in the regular season with 109 points, fell short after a strong season, illustrating how precarious playoff performances can be, even for the best teams.
"Unreal. The Stingrays season is over in a heartbreak in Game 7. Just an absolutely crazy finish as Hershey's Hudson Thornton delivers the dagger in a 2-0 shutout."
"The Stingrays jumped out to both a 2-0 and 3-2 series lead, but couldn't close the semis out after two consecutive opportunities in Game 6 and Game 7."
