2018 Doherty Division Champions

FIREBIRDS WIN DOHERTY DIVISION CHAMPIONSHIP IN DOUBLE OT

The Firebirds were the first to light the lamp and ignite the near capacity crowd on Saturday as they lead the game 1-0 at the end of the 1st.  The Braves Gladding tied the score at 1 early in the 2nd and Yeck would add another giving the Braves a 2-1 lead heading into the 3rd.  New Hamburg tied the game at 2 midway through the frame but just 2 min later the Braves Donut regained the 1 goal lead.  With the goalie pulled for the extra attacker the Firebirds tied the game at 3 in the dying minutes of the 3rd.  Both goaltenders shut the door in the 1st OT period forcing a 2nd OT frame.  The Firebirds found the back of the net at 2 min mark of the 2nd OT winning them the Doherty Division Championship.
