Muskegon Lumberjacks News Release


MUSKEGON, Michigan (May 6th) - The thrilling 2015 Clark Cup Playoff ride continues on for one final round as the newly-crowned Eastern Conference Champion Muskegon Lumberjacks have punched their first-ever ticket into the Clark Cup Final after a five-game series triumph over the Dubuque Fighting Saints in the Eastern Conference Final. The Lumberjacks get set for a best-of-five series showdown with the Western Conference Champion Sioux Falls Stampede to determine the USHL's top team for the 2014-15 season.

The Lumberjacks get set for a tilt against the Stampede, who finished with the fourth-best record in the Western Conference and paved their way through the West's top two teams to reach the league's championship series.
