Florida Everblades News Release
ESTERO, FL - The Florida Everblades are pleased to announce the team's participation in the Inaugural Wawa Sunshine Cup Series with their in-state rivals the Orlando Solar Bears.
The Wawa Sunshine Cup will be awarded to the team with the most standings points earned in the head-to-head meetings between the two teams during the 2015-16 regular season. In the event of a tie in points, the first tie-breaker will be the highest number of goals scored, followed by fewest number of goals allowed.

"The Sunshine Cup will provide excitement for both fan bases, and will help enhance the rivalry between the two in-state rivals."
