MOUNTAINEERS ADVANCE TO CLEAR CUP FINAL
Alright, listen up, because this is the Clear Cup semi-finals... We're talking playoff hockey. To start us off we had Reno Ice Raiders, who have sat in first place pretty much all season, going head-to-head with their northern neighbors... The McCall Mountaineers. And let me tell you, it didn't disappoint!
Now, McCall already had Reno's number, right? Two games, two wins, both by one goal in the regular season. That's a pattern, people. That's a warning.
Game one? Typical playoff hockey. It's back and forth, Reno takes a 2-1 lead. Then, this happens. Johnny Garrity. Reno. Drinks from the opposing goalie's water bottle. I mean, come on! A moment of madness for Reno's main man! That's not just a penalty, That's a headline. McCall capitalizes with a Jacob May power play goal, we're all square after 60! Overtime follows and passes, but it's Jacob May again who pops up with the shootout winner. 3-2 McCall. Reno's in trouble.
Game two? Forget about it. 5-1. A blowout. Jacob May... again with Two more goals. This guy's on a roll. Kuzara, Cooney, Stanley—they all score. and just like that, The league's leaders Reno... Gone. Just like that. Done.
So, McCall's waiting. They're waiting for Breckenridge and Santa Rosa. Santa Rosa already beat Breckenridge in Colorado. But, playoff hockey? "Anything can happen." And let's be real, "anything can happen" usually means chaos.
April 5th. Mark your calendars. Santa Rosa's YouTube channel. That's where the real show is. That's where we see who's got the grit. Because, this Clear Cup? It's not just about goals and assists. It's about heart. And some of these teams? They're showing us exactly what they're made of. Don't miss this weekend's action... We're here for it!
