The Moose Goheen Invitational Pewee AA championship was one for the ages. The back-and-forth battle between the top two teams in the state came down the wire, as should be expected from two teams that have never had a score between them settled by more than two goals. 

These teams have faced each other three times this season, with Edina winning in a shootout against the Storm in the Big Pumpkin Tournament, a tie in league play, and a recent victory for Minneapolis by a 3-1 score, which included an empty net goal. 

Minneapolis scored with 26 seconds left in regulation to tie the score, and then scored at 2:32 of overtime to claim the title. The magic man behind both of those goals was Gavin Best, who lived up to his name with a hat trick and an assist in the victory. Joey Miller got the scoring started with a power play goal at 6:29 of the first period, depositing the puck into the net after a series of perfect passes by Best and Will Mortenson. Edina answered with a goal by Will Soderling, assisted by Mark Overman, and we ended the first period knotted at 1-1. Best started his scoring spree with the lone goal of the second period, poking the puck through a pile of bodies in front of the Edina net to put the Storm up 2-1 after two frames. Edina tied the score 2-2 on a goal by Emmett Wurst, who managed to whack a rebound past Storm goalie Kiron Morioka. It seemed as though the Hornets would escape with the victory, as Jackson Borst scored to put Edina up 3-2 with just 1:23 to play in regulation.
