Loudoun Street Hockey League

Tonight we had two extremely close and exciting games!  Ovenchicken and The Misfits faced off first.  It seemed like Ovenchicken had things under control, holding onto a 3 goal lead, late in the second half.  Then The Misfits battled back with unanswered goals from John Coppolino and Chris Rhodes.  Coppolino would strike again in the final minute of the game, sending it to OT.  After a scoreless overtime period, The Misfits picked up their first win of the season via the shootout, on goals from Chris Rhodes and Greg White.  The final score was Misfits: 5, Ovenchicken: 4.  The second game of the night also came down the final seconds.  The Hawks had a 4-3 lead over  Book Hockey, with under two minutes left.  Book Hockey’s goaltender, Julian Doan came to the bench and Ryan Ayoub scored to tie the game.  We thought we might see the second overtime of the night, but Ryan Ayoub would strike again with less than 18 seconds left in the game.  That sealed the deal on Book Hockey’s huge comeback, and they picked up the 5-4 victory.
