From worst to first, Sunapee takes it 5-4.
The 3rd place navy Sunapee team completed
the ultimate turn around, and they did it without goalie Ben Minsk.
"It just goes to show you that anyone can play net and win with us," said champion Pat Deskin.
This week with Ben away on a cruise that his team paid for, they found Bob Love on a Reditt thread and he suited up to play goal for the navy team in the Championship Game. We counted 5 saves, and the navy team needed all 5 for the 5-4 win.
The team that started 0-6 ran the table, and did not lose again. Well they had a tie, but still no losses.
"We're the best 5-6-1 team the league has ever seen," said George Howard.
After disposing of the pesky Red team and Andy Long in two straight games, they went to the title game to take on the surprisiung last place green Wildcat team.
"We're just happy to be here," said Erick Grasso.
"And we're happy to have you here," repiled Rick Murphy.
Jimmy D. opened the scoring for green, but a Deskin goal tied it and the first ended 1-1. In the 2nd, goals by Todd Nichol and Rick Murphy had the green team up 3-1. Kevin Flanagan finally shot the puck instead of passing to Mark Kramer, and cut the lead to 3-2.
Trailing by a goal in the third, it looked like the sun finally set on Sunapee, and the last place green Wildcat team was gonna steal this title.
But fate had other plans. The team that was supposed to win, ultimately did. It started with a shot from the point from Rick Bobrycki that tied it at 3-3.
So let's get this straight, it's 2026, and 3 original guys from 1998 all scored ?
Then two very strange goals. We're not even sure who scored them. But two scrums around the green net ended with two quiet goals by the navy team. Nobody celebrated. Nobody raised their stick. Event he broadcast crew had no idea they had scored either time.
When it was all said and done, the navy team scored 3 times in 3:30 to make a 3-2 defecit a 5-3 lead. With 1:09 to play there was a Steve Thompson sighting. He scored to cut the lead to 5-4, but that would be our final.
