Florida Everblades News Release
ESTERO, Fla. - In front of a sold out, standing room only crowd, Cam Johnson pitched his first shutout of the season to help the Florida Everblades defeat the Jacksonville Icemen 2-0 in their home opener.
Johnson stopped all 28 shots after watching the 2022 Kelly Cup banner be raised to the rafters at Hertz Arena, outdueling his tandem partner from that championship team, Parker Gahagen. Cole Moberg and Brandon Hickey each scored their first goals with Florida in the second period to pick up the win. Dominic Franco and Cam Morrison each gathered a pair of helpers in the win.
