NAX took a 2-0 lead thanks to Ethan Candlish’s (1G, 1A) goal and assist to start, but one powerplay for NAX tore that lead down. Tucker Porter (1G, 2A) and Nate McRorie (3G, 1A) scored shorthanded on that one penalty kill to tie the game, and like a seesaw does, the game tilted completely in the other favour. McRorie scored again to help OHAE lead 4-2, but it was again two quick-fire goals to change everything. NAX’s Holter Lefthand scored two goals in 15 seconds to tie the game at four. The big-time swings didn’t cease, with OHAE taking two more leads and NAX finding two more equalizers. The game deserved overtime, and just past the halfway point, Vaughn Livadney (1G, 2A) stole the puck from behind the net and found Ethan Lobay on the doorstep to bury the game-winner and giving NAX a thrilling 7-6 win.
