GOLDEN BEARS DISTRICT CHAMPS!! ADVANCE TO THE FROZEN FOUR!!
The Upper Arlington Golden Bears downed Olentangy Liberty in a 5-3 win in regulation on Sunday to take the District Championship and advance to the OHSAA "Frozen Four" State Tournament!!
Upper Arlington scoring was spread out among players in what was widely hailed as a whole-team victory, capped off by the go-ahead game winner by junior, Henry Thackeray, with 17 seconds remaining in the third period. That tally was quickly followed by an empty-netter by junior, Connor Hagkull, to seal the deal and silence roughly one half of the Ice Haus.
One unidentified, failed fishmonger was seen fleeing from the Arena District immediately following the game.
The #1 seeded Golden Bears move on to face the #4 Mentor Cardinals in Game 1 of the OHSAA State Semi-Finals Round on Saturday, March 8th at Nationwide Arena. Game time is 11:00 am.
