Last Second Goal Forces Tie With Jackets -
5.0 years ago

GAYLORD, MI - The Alpena Hockey team got a last-second goal to force a 1-1 tie with the Detroit Country Day Jackets at the Division 3 Showcase in Gaylord.  Trailing 1-0 in the final seconds, Anthony Berg spun and threw a loose puck into the slot area where Kyle VanDusen fired a one-timer past Sam Evola with 0:00.7 left to tie the game.  Evola, the defending Mr. Hockey, had no chance to stop the blast from VanDusen as he beat him high glove side.  The two teams played the first two periods to a scoreless draw as Evola and Cooper Black dueled in one of the premier goalie battles in the state.  With 7:21 left in the game Country Day's Joshua Rice tipped a Max Schilling shot past Black to give the Jackets the 1-0 lead.  The tie snapped a 27-game winning streak for Country Day that had won the 2018 Division 3 State Championship.  Black made 23 saves in the game as he went toe-to-toe with the best hockey player in the state of Michigan from last season.  Alpena (7-1-1, 2-0-0 BNC) will take on the FNV Griffins on Saturday afternoon in day two of the Division 3 Showcase.
