2012-13 MIHA CHAMPIONSHIPS
The MIHA Championships were in one word, AWESOME! The top 15 teams during the season came to battle for T2 and T3 Championships. Buffalo had a clean sweep of the Skills Competitions on Saturday night but fell short on Sunday for win the Championships.
T3 Championship Game: Knights vs. Syndicate. The Syndicate entered Sunday as the #2 team after loosing on Saturday to the Red Army for a second consecutive game. Most everyone expected a rematch for the Championship to be between the Syndicate and Red Army due to their domination of teams during the season, they combined for 6 of the 8 tournament first place finishes but the Knights upset the Red Army 5-4 in the semi-final.
The Knights got off to a quick start but the Syndicate started the day down 2-0 to the Giraffes eventually winning that quarter-final game 11-4. The Knights had a 3-0 lead at the end of the 1st period. The Syndicate unleashed 4 straight goals (3 by Jeff Bettenhausen) to take a 4-3 lead at the end of the 2nd period. The Syndicate scored with 7:13 remaining to build a two goal lead which they held until the Knights scored a desperation goal with only :25 seconds remaining. Syndicate wins 5-4!
T2 Championship Game: #1 Steel vs. #3 Gong Show. This game is the ultimate David vs. Goliath match-up. The West Michigan Gong Show won several tournaments during the 2010 MIHA summer series, but since MIHA went to a fall/winter series with a Championship Event, they have never won a tournament. The Buffalo Steel defeated the Gong Show 10-4 at the Sports Forum just a few months ago in March. The Buffalo Steel are also considered the remnants of the 2011-12 MIHA T2 Champion - Buffalo Wings.
The Steel came out strong scoring all 3 first period goals, 3-0 end of 1st. The Steel scored the first goal in the 2nd taking a 4-0 lead before the Gong Show unleashed 5 goals in the 2nd, 5-5 end of 2 periods. The Gong Show then went score crazy in the 3rd scoring 6 goals (2 goals were short-handed) and won their first ever MIHA tournament and first MIHA Championship 11-6!
