Intense Thriller
A 10 goal third period supplied the high's and low's that the game of hockey can produce on any given night.
Tonight was one of those nights!
Trailing 2-0 heading into the final frame of game 2 in this series, Howick pulled to within a goal as Colby Reichard's effort in front of the Thunder net broke the goose egg on the Hornet side of the ledger.
This literally opened the flood gates.
Zurich responded with two more of their own, but within moments the Atom Hornet's had squared the match at 4.
First Kyson Williams notched his first of the game with an assist going to Reichard.
Then off the faceoff Jericho McNichol scooped up the puck from in front of a Thunder winger then flew past two Zurich defencemen and deposited the six ounce chuck of vulcanized rubber into the back of the home sides net.
The tying goal of this offensive explosive came off the stick of Williams from Reichard and Ashlyn Hill.
As time was running down after Zurich had recaptured the lead, Hill sent Williams away on one of his end to end rushes that resulted in the match being even again.
Dayden Frey provided excellent tending of the woven mesh as he stopped numerous quality chances that came his way.
Even though the final seconds resulted in the Thunder regaining the lead and adding an empty net goal with two ticks left, this confident group of atom Hornet's were chomping at the bit for Saturday to arrive so they can inflict some redemption upon their opponents.
