Orlando Solar Bears News Release


ORLANDO, Fla. - The Orlando Solar Bears (24-18-3-0) rallied from a 2-0 deficit in the second period, but surrendered a game-deciding goal in the third period of a 3-2 loss to the Jacksonville Icemen (28-14-2-1), on Thursday night at the AdventHealth Rink at Amway Center.
