Sioux City would capitalize on an early period Crusaders penalty when Teagan Doleman would increase the Metros lead
to three. With time running out, the Crusaders desperately want to pull their goaltender but constant pressure from Sioux
City makes that impossible and a late in the period Blaze Bauer’s second goal of the game cements the victory and a trip
to the championship

to his goal and Cash Frigge would add two helpers, both finishing with two points. Grant Harder, Ryan Hedquist

Championship Game 6
March 23rd, 2024
5-Metros vs. East Islip Chiefs-2 
This championship match-up looks to be an exciting one with two extremely offensive minded teams with very solid
goaltending. East Islip boasts the tournament’s top three scorers and Sioux City the tournaments top goaltender by far.

However, in the first period it’s the defense that steals the show with both teams shooting on net a combined
thirteen times and both keepers staying perfect.
Jackson Pinney                                                                  Caiden Patrick

The second frame is a total reversal-both teams hit the ice knowing that not scoring, isn’t gonna win any one a championship.
This is a up and down the ice affair with tons of offence, fast breaks and great saves however, it;s East Islip scoring first
and grabbing and holding the game’s momentum for much of the period. However with just over two minutes Hunter Echter
would tie the game and just twenty second later Teagan Doleman give the Metros the lead. But the high scoring Chiefs don’t
go away and quickly counter sending the teams to the locker rooms knotted-up at two.

Hunter Echter                                                            Teagan Doleman

The third period is another battle between to terrific teams. This period offers-up twenty-three total shots on goals and a pair
of un-successful power-plays for both teams. Just when everyone is thinking overtime – Karson Fitch breaks the tie and fifteen
seconds later Nate Solma gives the Metros a two goal lead. As time runs out for the Chiefs they go with the extra attacker, and
after some initial pressure to tie the game, Karson Fitch is able to corral an errant pass and find the empty net securing a
Championship win for the Metros.
Karson Fitch                                                                             Nate Solma

Five different Metros assisted on goals today, including Noah Graham, Charlie Egdorf, Tegan Doleman, Grant Harder
