The Growlers defeated the Toledo Walleye in six games to win the Kelly Cup championship.
The Growlers were the first team since the 1989–90 Greensboro Monarchs to win the ECHL championship in an organization's first season of operations. They are also the first Canadian team to win the Kelly Cup and the first team from Newfoundland and Labrador to win a professional sports championship.
The Newfoundland Growlers name is in reference to the Newfoundland dog specifically the World War I mascot of the Royal Newfoundland Regiment Sable Chief.
