The Estevan Tarpon Energy peewee Storm are the champions of the South East Minor Hockey League.
The Storm defeated the host Radville Nationals 2-1 in overtime on March 26 to win the best-of-three series in three games. Conner Terness scored the winner with 1:05 to play in the first overtime period to lift his team to victory.
The two goals scored in regulation came in the opening minute of the second period. After Radville scored 34 seconds into the second period, Braxton Dukart tallied to tie the game.
The Storm appeared to take the lead in the middle frame, but the goal was disallowed because the whistle blew before the puck crossed the goal line.
Neither team scored in the third period, setting the stage for Terness’ heroics.
Estevan won Game 1 4-3 in overtime, while Radville took Game 2 5-2.
The Storm also beat the Weyburn Wings in a three-game series in the first round of the playoffs, and swept the Estevan Wolves in two straight games in the semifinal round.
