River City Floorball Report Spring 2026 Week 7 Recap

Week 7 was the final regular-season night before playoffs, and it played like it. Every game carried weight: playoff positioning, momentum, seeding pressure, or one last chance to walk into next week looking alive instead of merely listed on the schedule.

Clutch Pucks 7, Red Spring 2

Clutch Pucks needed a response after a rough Week 6 loss to Eskimo. Red Spring needed something positive before playoffs, whether that meant stealing momentum, keeping the game close, or dragging Clutch into a mess.

Instead, Clutch got right.

They beat Red Spring 7-2 behind a strong offensive night and stellar goaltending from Steve. After getting shut out the week before, Clutch needed a game that looked stable, confident, and clean. This was that.

For Red Spring, it was another hard result in a season that has not offered many soft landings. For Clutch, it was exactly the kind of reset they needed before playoffs.

Clutch did not fix the whole season in one night. They did, however, stop showing up like a team waiting for bad news. That matters next week.

Eskimo 8, ICE 6

Eskimo came into Week 7 as one of the hottest teams in the league, fresh off back-to-back 10-goal performances. ICE needed a result, or at least proof they could hang with a team that has been turning games into scoreboard cardio.

They got the proof. They did not get the win.

Matt Dillard opened the scoring for Eskimo early in the first, but ICE answered through the Ondrejs. From there, the game opened up fast. Eskimo got goals from Mur, Jeremy twice, Brandon, and another from Matt Dillard.

Eskimo had too much offense again and held on for an 8-6 win.

Six goals is usually enough to win a floorball game. Against Eskimo right now, it just earns you a respectful nod and a long walk back to the bench wondering what else the sport wants from you.

Flamingos 4, Skitters 1

The Flamingos opened their final regular-season night needing to take care of business against Skitters before a much heavier matchup with Cluster Pucks later in the evening.

They did, though Skitters made them work for it.

After a scoreless first period, Ethan broke the game open for Flamingos late in the second. He struck again early in the third to make it 2-0, but Skitters answered almost immediately through Jimmy, cutting the lead to 2-1 and putting pressure back into the building.

Flamingos handled it. Michael finished a Mito assist early in the fourth, and Alex added the final goal with 30 seconds left to close out a 4-1 win.

It was not flashy. It was not chaotic. It was exactly what Flamingos needed before the real test. Skitters landed a punch, but Flamingos did not let the game get weird. In this league, that apparently counts as a life skill.

Cluster Pucks 6, Flamingos 5

Then the night got loud.

Flamingos entered this game still chasing a perfect regular season. Cluster Pucks entered needing a signature win before playoffs after weeks of tight results and near-statements. This was the kind of game that could either confirm Flamingos as the cleanest team in the league or prove Cluster had enough bite to scare the top seeds.

Cluster got the bite.

Flamingos came out strong, with early goals from Eli, Lee off a Qichen feed, and Julia. Cluster Pucks answered in the second through Kyle and Ryan, keeping the game from getting away before Flamingos added another through Michael in the third.

But Cluster kept dragging the game back into chaos. Ryan helped create another third-period chance, James added a key goal, and Flamingos answered again when Alex finished from Ethan with 3:14 left in the third.

The fourth period belonged to Cluster’s late push. Jordan scored, then Kyle struck again with 3:10 left to complete the 6-5 win and hand Flamingos their first loss of the season.

That was the game of the night. It also ended the Flamingos’ perfect regular season one week before playoffs. Brutal timing. Useful timing. Depends which bench had to pretend they were fine afterward.

Cluster did not just win a game. They changed how dangerous they look heading into next week.

Pogo Sisters 6, Semi Pro 4

This was the other major playoff signal of the night.

Semi Pro came in as one of the league’s top teams and defending Winter champions, with a chance to enter playoffs looking stable and dangerous. Pogo Sisters came in building momentum, and if that sounds familiar, it should.

Last season, Pogo got hot late and turned into one of those teams nobody wanted to deal with once the games started mattering more. Week 7 had the same smell to it: late-season form, growing confidence, and terrible timing for everyone else.

Their 6-4 win over Semi Pro was not just a good result. It was a warning.

Semi Pro are still dangerous and still the defending champs, but Pogo made the playoff picture uglier for everyone around them. That is exactly what a team wants to do before the bracket starts: walk in looking less like a seed and more like a problem.

Semi Pro did not get embarrassed. Worse for them, they got reminded. Pogo has done this before.

Week 7 Bottom Line

The regular season did not end quietly.

Clutch Pucks stabilized. Eskimo kept scoring. Flamingos handled Skitters, then lost the perfect season to Cluster Pucks. Pogo Sisters knocked off Semi Pro and carried a familiar late-season warning into the playoffs.

Week 7 did not clean up the playoff picture.

It made it meaner.
