DAVIDSON—Davidson Peewee Cyclones last Wednesday won the East Central Hockey League championship with an 11-2 win over Wynyard 1 in the final and deciding game of the best of three games series.

The series was tied 1-1, after Davidson won Game 1 by a score of 9-2 in Davidson on March 15, but recorded a 9-5 loss in Wynyard on Monday, March 19.

After the first period in last Wednesday’s game, the Cyclones left little room for doubt over who’d win the game. The Cyclones dominated the game and had a 4-0 lead after the first period and held a 7-0 lead by the end of the second.

Wynyard used its man advantage early in the third period to score a powerplay goal. Davidson responded to score three more goals for a 10-1 lead. With 11:45 remaining, Wynyard scored on the powerplay, but that was all the outmatched team could do.

The Cyclones scored their final and 11th goal of the game for the 11-2 game and league championship win.

Hayden O’Brien led the Cyclones with four goals and an assist. Zack Prpick had two goals and three assists, Parker Ackland had two goals, Kale O’Brien and Mason Palmer each had one goal and an assist and Cameren Rudniski had one goal. Quayden Dean and Evhan Allan each had a pair of assists, and Carson Palmer, Aiden Pasher, Kaden Berry, Dylan Hryniuk and Morgan Tastad each had assists in the game
