The Everblades have not missed the playoffs in any of their thirteen seasons and have made two appearances in the Kelly Cup Finals. The franchise has finished first in the league in attendance 5 times, and never lower than fourth. Prior to the building of the Germain Arena, the arena site was an empty cow pasture on what is now Everblades Parkway near Interstate 75 in Estero. Current GM Craig Brush was said to be reading a free copy of a National Geographic magazine that featured articles on the Florida Everglades, when he envisioned the idea to bring a minor-league hockey team to Southwest Florida. The team's name derives from the former Kentucky Thoroughblades AHL franchise.
