Ethan Moore of the Marks Mount Pearl Blades pounds the winning goal past Moor Frost CBN Stars goaltender Riley Petten at nearly four minutes into the second sudden death overtime period to win the St. John’s Junior Hockey League championship Friday night. The game seven final was played in front of a capacity crowd at the Bat Arena in Bay Roberts. Moore scored on a penalty shot. The Blades outshot the Stars 68-28 to win the game 3-2. Despite being badly outshot, for much of the third period it looked like the Stars would win the contest, nursing a 2-1 lead over the Blades until there just over two minutes left in the game when Vijay Sahajpal tied it up with Noah Rowe and Noah Harty assisting. It was the second junior hockey final series in a row to go the full seven games and into double overtime. The last time, before Covid suspended much of the league’s play for two years, was in 2019 when Mount Pearl was edged out of the win by the CBR Renegades.
