In the closing game of the season for the NESHL, the league champion NEP Wildcats defeated the CT Wolfpack in a hard fought but one-sided battle.

The game started out in classic Wildcat style with Josh Moran and Kip St.Germaine scoring back-to-back goals in the opening 5 minutes. The Cats controlled the puck and the pace of the first period forcing the play in the offensive zone and only allowing the Pack 2 shots on goal.

The 2nd started out almost identical to the first with NEP controlling the puck and putting CT goalie Karen Smith in front of the firing squad with a blistering 9 shots on goal. Things were not looking good for the Wolfpack with the ref making a questionable holding call on enforcer Tyler Konvent allowing the Wildcats to put a power play goal on the board making the score 5-0 at the end of the 2nd….But the Pack wasn’t quite ready to roll over and play dead just yet.

The Wolfpack came out in the 3rd with an anger of a wolf guarding a bone. The pack was hungry and they showed it by taking 6 shots on goal, Allowing NEP only 6 shots, goals scored by young guns Ryan Pelletier and Anthony Kuntz, and a wrecking ball type check in the closing minutes of the game from CT’s Tyler Konvent on Wildcat winger Mike Ciavarro which seemed to be brewing from way back to the opening games of the season.

Unfortunately for the Pack, the Wildcats proved to be too much with Kip St.Germaine putting the final nail in the Wolfpack’s coffin and their season with a last minute goal making the final score NEP Wildcats 6 and the CT Wolfpack 2, ending what was again an incredible and epic season for the NESHL.
