Lake Orion took a few shots on the Wolves’ net to get their revenge and put a point on the board but their shots were deflected by junior goalie Jack Viazanko or missed their target.
The Wolves opened the second period with three shots on goal. It was junior forward Kyle Hogarth’s shot to get through with 9:35 left in the period to put the boys up to 3-0. He grabbed control of the puck from Lake Orion in the Wolves zone. He skated past the blue line and saw an opportunity as he took a long shot towards the net.
