Peewee Railcats clinch City Championship with dramatic overtime win over the Rebels

 

Congratulations to head coach Steve Sinclair, his staff and his players on winning the AA City Championship for the second season in a row. The game was a thriller with the winning goal coming with just 2.08 left in the overtime period. Skyler Bruce led the way for the team scoring the first three Railcats goals. Down 4-3 late in the third, Hudson Thornton took a pass from Michael Todoruk and scored to tie the game up before sending it to overtime. In overtime, both teams traded scoring chances but goalie Noah Jorgensen shut the door and made some critical saves, including a breakaway late in the period. With the overtime frame winding down, Michael Tanchak and Evan Veinot cycled the puck down low and set up Thornton's second goal of the game, a point shot which found the back of the net and secured the Championship. 

Congratulations again to all of the players and coaches, who were rewarded for their hard work all season with another City Championship.
