Hockey State Final Preview: The ‘Cats take on the Preppers for the crown

BY CARTER SPEARRY ’16

Well what do you know, the ‘Cats knocked off Goliath. In an incredible 5-1 win over Toledo Saint Francis de Sales with goals coming from Aidan Spellacy, Seth Whitney  (2), Zack Kisel, and Cullen Frebes, the ‘Cats dominated the Knights.

In today’s game, the ‘Cats will play the University School Preppers for the fourth time this season. The Wildcats have won all three previous match-ups this season (3-1, 4-0, 5-3). This certainly doesn’t mean that O’Rourke’s boys don’t have a major task ahead of them today. In the Great Lakes Hockey League Final, the ‘Cats and Preppers faced off and had a terrific game between them. After the blue and gold took a 3-0 lead, the boys from Hunting Valley came all the way back to tie the game up after two periods. In the third period, the two year captain, Aidan Spellacy, took control and scored two goals to give the ‘Cats a 5-3 win.

The puck drops at 2:00 PM at Nationwide Arena. If you are unable to attend the game, Carter Spearry ’16 and Owen Miklos ’16 will have the audio only coverage at ignatius.edu/SIBN
