Game #20

The final game of the regular season for the '05 Lapeer Storm team got off to a quick start, as they opened up the scoring less than two minutes into the contest. After playing each other just two nights earlier, these two teams were ready for a close contest, and after the Jets answered with a goal of their own minutes later it was looking like that is what they were going to provide. It seemed as though the game was going to head into intermission tied, but a late goal gave the Jets a 2-1 lead heading into the second period.

That late goal must have gotten under the skin of the Storm players, as they came out firing on all cylinders in the second. They found the back of the net early in the period to knot the score at 2 apiece, and then never let up. Drew broke the tie with a goal 5 minutes in, and then they added three more to break the game wide open. The five goals in a single period marked a season high, and gave them plenty of momentum heading into the third.

The Storm players were determined to not ease up, and they continued to attack the net. The scored two more goals before finally giving up one on a power play with 4 minutes left. After struggling to find the back of the net all season, they weren't stopping now. With the score 8-3, they tacked on two more to close out the scoring and secure a 10-3 victory. Way to go Storm!
