“In game two we got great goal tending from Curt Doyle, especially in the first period and were fortunate to be tied 0-0 after the first,” wrote coach Brian Jones.
It was 1-1 after the second and ended up tied at 2-2 in the end. The Ice’s Aidan Jenner and Reid Wilson were the goal scorers. Jones added that Brendan MaKay had a strong game on defence.
