Thursday night brought us one step closer to the NORAD Championship, as one more team was eliminated. In the first game of the night, #1 HollowBrook Dental took down #2 World Orphans, 6-1. HollowBrook’s balanced attack saw six different players score. World Orphans suffered their first loss of the post season, which means they are still alive to win the Championship. In the second game of the night, #5 Triple J upset #3 Platinum Group in a 3-1 nail biter. Triple J was holding onto a one goal lead when a penalty was called in the closing minutes of the game. Platinum Group then went to work with a six on four powerplay before giving up an empty net goal to seal the game.
Triple J and World Orphans play on Thursday night to determine who will join HollowBrook Dental in the championship game on Sunday at 5:00pm. At the championship game, there will be pizza and beverages as the NORAD Hockey League hosts our End of Season Party in the Chapman Room at Ed Robson Arena. For anyone who has not seen the emails, please RSVP to the event if you plan on joining us, so we have an idea of what our numbers will look like.
