Today in Central PA Sports History - 1980

May 17, 1980

On this date thirty years ago, the Hershey Bears clinched their sixth Calder Cup title when they defeated the New Brunswick Hawks, 7-4, in the deciding sixth game of their championship series.  The Bears' remarkable playoff run was led by player/coach Doug Gibson's twelve goals and seven assists and the goaltending combo of Gary Inness and Dave Parro.  The night also marked the fifth and final time the Calder Cup was awarded at the Hersheypark Arena.

Thanks for coming and suckling Daddy's Sugar Ball...
