The OCN Storm have returned home as KJHL champions after last night's 7-5 win over the Peguis Juniors. The first period of Game 5 was a back-and-forth affair. Storm forward Hutton Foster was the first player to light up the scoreboard. Terris Jonasson evened the tally shortly after by notching his second postseason point. Moments later, OCN's Cedrick Puffalt and Drew Peters scored back-to-back goals to make it a 3-1 game. However, in the blink of an eye, Peguis' Jeremiah Jacques and Tyrone Meldrum pulled even on the scoreboard with two quick strikes. Jacey Melnyk then stacked up another marker to cap off the period, giving the Storm their third lead.
The second period was no different. In the early minutes, Jeremiah Jacques notched his second goal of the night, once again levelling the scoreboard. A short time later, Keilan Holland and Keestin Danielson added two more, which raised the score to 6-4 OCN. Before the second period ended, Corwin Bear and the Peguis powerplay unit were able to coordinate a netter, making it a one-goal deficit heading into the third.
Only one lamp lighter from Cedrick Puffalt in the third period put the final score at 7-5 for OCN.
The Storm won their first KJHL Championship and did so against one of the most successful clubs in the league's 47-year history. Their final postseason record was 9-2.
