Bantams Fall in Shootout
The Ice Wolves fell 7-6 to the Plymouth(MI)Great White Sharks in a shootout in the championship game of the Chicago Cup. After Phred Schumacher got Fremont off to a quick start just 2:15 into the game, the Ice Wolves would go on a cold spell falling behind 4-1 heading into the final period. Fremont would come alive scoring the next three goals. Mike Smith got the monkey off the backs of the Wolves with less than one minute gone in the final period. Then two minutes later Max Yellstrom brought the Ice Wolves back to within one with Smith assisting. Then just 10 seconds later Ethan Binger got the equalizer on a pass from Yellstrom. The tie was short lived as less than one minute later the Sharks would get two quick goals of their own to regain what seemed like a safe lead. With 4:40 left in the game Binger picked up his second of the contest with Smith and Schumacher assisting. Then 56 seconds later Yellstrom took a pass from Jordan Frank to knot the score up once again. Fremont had three more scoring opportunities in regulation but could not get another goal. The teams then went to a 5 on 5 overtime where the Ice Wolves managed to kill a penalty and TJ Humbert made 3 big saves. The second overtime was a 4 on 4 and the Ice Wolves were on fire getting off 8 more shots on goal. The Sharks goalie was up to the challenge and the second overtime ended as well. It finally came to a shootout to determine the champion. Each team was allowed 5 players to take the breakaway to the opposing goalie. TJ Humbert did his part by stopping 4 of the 5 Sharks, but much like that second overtime none of the Ice Wolves could slip the puck past the big Shark goalie and the Ice Wolves brought home the runner's up banner. WHAT A GAME, WHAT A TEAM, WHAT A SEASON! GREAT JOB ICE WOLVES. Sunday, March 12
