Game 1

Today the Novi FireCats began their second and final tournament of the spring season, taking on the Wyandotte Warriors in the opening game of the Last Dance Tournament. Novi started off slow, giving up a goal minutes into the first period. That would be it for scoring for the remainder of the period, as both teams spent the remaining time feeling each other out and trying to figure out each others weaknesses.

Novi got on the board first in the second period, scoring two goals less than two minutes apart to grab the lead. Wyandotte found the back of the net a few minutes later to even things up once again. Novi had an answer, however, retaking the lead to end the second period.

The FireCats opened up a two goal lead early in the final period, scoring their goal a few minutes into the third. Wyandotte scored a power-play goal to narrow the gap to a single goal a little over a minute later on a power-play. Thankfully for the FireCats, that would be it for the scoring, as they held on to the 4-3 lead and the victory.
