After splitting the first two games in Cincinnati (Cincinnati 4\u20133 and Las Vegas 1\u20130), the series shifted to Las Vegas, where Cincinnati won games three and five to take a 3\u20132 series lead. In front of a record setting crowd, 12,722 fans, at US Bank Arena in Cincinnati on June 5, the Cyclones defeated Las Vegas in game six, 3\u20131, to take the championship and their 71st win of the season.

They won a seven-game series against the Wheeling Nailers, including a double overtime game seven win, and swept the Elmira Jackals to win the North Division playoff title. However, the Cyclones were swept by the South Carolina Stingrays in the American Conference Finals.<\/p><p style=\"margin-left:0px;\">The 2009\u201310 season proved to be more successful with 44 wins and 91 points, the wins total being the most in the American Conference. Despite that, the Cyclones finished second in the North Division to the Kalamazoo Wings and fifth in the conference. This led to a rematch with fourth seeded, and defending champion, South Carolina in the first round, where Cincinnati defeated the Stingrays in five games. Veteran captain Barrett Eghotz scored in overtime for the 3\u20132 win in game five and was the third straight overtime game in the series. The Cyclones then faced the top seeded Charlotte Checkers, defeating the Checkers in game seven with a 2\u20131 victory.<\/p><p style=\"margin-left:0px;\">Cincinnati drew the Reading Royals in the American Conference Final.

With the victory, the Cyclones clinched their second Kelly Cup title in three years. The game was also the Cyclones 24th Kelly Cup playoff game, surpassing the club record of 22 postseason games played by the 2008 championship team and is one more than South Carolina (23) had in its title run in 2009.
