The Adirondack Aces captured their third league title in four years last night, and they did it in thrilling fashion, beating the El Dorado Lynx in overtime in game 7 to take the Atkinson Cup.
Nick Bjugstad had scored to put the visiting Lynx up 3-2 early in the third, only for the Aces’ Chris Kreider to knot the score at 8:31 of the period. The 4-3 game winner came off the stick of Kirill Kaprizov 6:46 into OT. It was Kaprizov’s 12th goal of the postseason.
Adirondack had enjoyed another spectactular regular season, racking up 59 wins to El Dorado’s 50th. Still, the Lynx pushed the favored Aces to the absolute brink.
Congratulations to both teams for an exciting culmination of the 2024-25 GWMHL season!
