Cleveland's Lake Erie Monsters took home their first Calder Cup Championship in team history on June 11, 2016, and the quest for the cup ended up being historical in more ways than one...

The Calder Cup Finals returned to Cleveland for the first time in 50 years.

Cleveland is the first city to host both the NBA Finals and the Calder Cup Finals in the same season.

The sold-out Quicken Loans Arena crowd of 19,665 was the second largest playoff crowd in AHL History.

A 15-2 record and .882 winning percentage was the best playoff record since the AHL went to the four round postseason format in 1996.

The Monsters took a 3-0 series lead in all four playoff rounds.

The Monsters were 5-0 in games that went to overtime during the 2016 Calder Cup Playoffs.

9 straight wins tied the third longest winning streak to end the Calder Cup playoffs with the 1964 Cleveland Barons.

Oliver Bjorkstrand set an AHL record with 3 overtime goals and tied a record with 6 game winning goals in a single postseason.

Anton Forsberg posted a 9-0 record during the Monsters playoff run, stopping 242 out of 255 pucks faced for a .949 SV % and 1.34 GAA.

6 of the top 10 playoff point scorers were on the Monsters roster (Oliver Bjorkstrand, Lukas Sedlak, Zach Werenski, Ryan Craig, Josh Anderson, and Daniel Zaar).  Bjorkstrand was the top goal scorer with 10.
