"This group was focused all weekend and battled through everything." said EHLP Head Coach Andrew Trimble.  "We got great contributions from everybody throughout our lineup, especially goaltender Ryan Fueg."

Friday's 5-2 victory, was paced by Fueg's stellar play in nets who stopped 48 shots on goal.  Timely goals were scored by Noah Wirth and two apiece from Garth Wickham and Herbert Zeibots.

Saturdays 6-2 victory was highlighted by the Wolves discipline as they had important penalty kills against the Rangers league leading Power Play.  Fueg again stopped 39 shots, and goals were scored by Frankie Filato, Jonah Pickens, Noah Wirth, Alex Burnett, Jeffery Brann, and Alex Carpenter.

The clean sweep ends the incredible run of the Boston JR Rangers, who have gone to the last 3 EHLP league championship games and won the championship in 2015-16 and 2017-18.
