CANUCKLEHEADS VS RAVENS

Tied for the top spot with the Vipers, the Canuckleheads were looking for a win to re-take their claim as the best team in the OSCHL. They would need their All Stars, Seamus "The Magician" Collins, Logan Hooper, and netminder Conor "Dominator" Dimmick to be at the top of their game if they were to defeat the hottest team in the league, the Ravens. After a 9-6 loss to the Canuckleheads on November 13, 2008, the Ravens went on a tear going 4-0-1 to close out 2008.

Up by two goals at one point during the first half, the Ravens went into the second period with a 5-4 lead hoping to extend their winning streak to 5. The Ravens came out slow in the second and found themselves down 3 goals with just under 3 minutes remaining. The Ravens battled back hard and notched 2 more with 45 seconds remaining in the game. Unfortunately their effort was not enough as Dominator Dimmick shut the door as time ticked away and the final whistle was blown. Game, set, match. Canuckleheads come from behind to take it 9-8 for the first win of the new year and a much needed 3 points to reclaim sole possession of first place.
