Lee Valley Lions ended their Division Two campaign with a crushing derby win at Alexandra Palace.
Nick Alley and Romanas Fedotovas hit hat-tricks in the rout, as James Tipple turned aside 13 shots for the shut out.
And a fifth victory of the season, from 20 outings, allowed Lions to finish their season on a high.
Alley opened the scoring with a powerplay goal in the ninth minute as Racers defenceman Robert Veares served a roughing minor.
