Pittsburgh Hornets U14 Midam District Champions



The 91s beat the host Blue Jackets by a score of 6-0 in their first game. The only other participating Tier I team was the Barons, who had defeated the Blue Jackets by a score of 3-2, so the 91s' game against the Barons was the showdown to determine who would represent the Mid-Am District at Nationals.

And what a game! After two periods, the game was tied 0-0. Both teams scored in the third period, and the Barons scored again with 1:46 remaining to go ahead 2-1. The Hornets tied the game with 49 seconds on the clock to send the game into a ten-minute sudden death overtime period. Since the Hornets would win the tie-breaker if the game ended in a tie, the Barons pulled their goalie with 0:51 left in overtime and the Hornets cashed in with an empty-netter to secure a 3-2 win and the trip to Rochester for nationals. Congratulations Boys and good luck at Nationals.
