Greater Sudbury advances to the Centennial Cup, to be played May 9-19 in Oakville
In the fifth game of the championship best-of-seven series on April 25, the Cubs defeated the Powassan Voodoos 5-3 to claim the Copeland Cup – McNamara Trophy as the NOJHL champs, and now advance to the play for the Centennial Cup, to be contested May 9-19 in Oakville.
In last night’s game, the Cubs opened the scoring 10 minutes into the first period after Noah Kohan, zooming down the left wing, fed Nolan Newton in the slot, who spun and whipped a shot over the blocker of Powassan netminder Daniel Dirracolo. “The hosts picked up a double minor that allowed the Voodoos an opportunity to cut into the deficit prior to the first intermission, however Greater Sudbury goalkeeper Noah Metivier did his part to keep it 2-0 after one period of play,” the team said in a news release.
Still in the second, the Voodoos would take a 3-2 lead just moment later. Carson Ricci fired through a maze of bodies that managed to find its way to the back of the net. Then with overtime looming, McCharles blazed down the left side and while driving to the net, ripped in the decider from a sharp angle in what would become the game-winning goal.
