The title was in sight as the third period began.

Hudson was a man down when Colin Bennie stuffed a rebound past Brian Tomczyk to put Wachusett on the scoreboard. However, the Wachusett momentum was short lived, as Hudson’s Jeff Hamelin was able to the score off a rebound.

The Red Sea sent out a shockwave of excitement as the buzzer sounded the end of the game. An emotional Coach Nanartowich stepped on to the ice to congratulate his players with his fists high in the air. The team huddled around goalie Brian Tomczyk to show appreciation for his amazing 30-save performance.
