Championship:

The Championship Game was between Highland and Orono. These two teams had played earlier this season December 8th, just before the tourney. Orono won that game 3-2. On December 22nd they actually faced off for some hardware. Both teams came in undefeated with three nice wins in the tourney. One would come away with four. The rematch was nothing like their first one, as Highland jumped out early and put the puck in the net. The final score was 5-1 in favor of Highland Central upsetting YHH #8 Orono for the Championship hardware.
