After earning home ice advantage in this year's playoffs with a league high 95 points in the standings. The Gamblers took down the Waterloo Blackhawks & Indiana Ice as they have sweeped through the playoffs with the expectation of Game 1 against Indiana in the East Division Final.

Fargo got back to the Championship Series after sweeping the Sioux Falls Stampede and one of the most exciting matchups in this year's playoffs as the Division Final against Omaha went the distance.

The Series will get underway on April 30 & May 1 which will be in Green Bay. Then Games 3 through 5 would be taking place from May 7 through 12 as we are going to crown this year's USHL Clark Cup Championship.
