Caleb Heil with a big save Saturday for CC

In the third period Steffens' twin brother Luke tucked in a goal for the Bears and the momentum was all White Bear Lake to start the period. After more pressure, the Bears found more Heil and could not solve him. Late in the third during a frantic exchange, Thomase Laaksonen scored for CC to give the Stormhawks a 3-1 lead with just over three minutes to go - a pretty rebound goal. The Bears were able to muster a late goal by Joe Belisle, but it wasn't enough. They saw a valiant effort fall short. Chaska Chan advances to the Edina Invite final Sunday morning.

Tommy Cronin scores for Edina Green Saturday

On a crazy sequence in the second, Cronin fires a shot on net the finds the crossbar that would have given Green a 2-0 lead. White countered ten seconds lated when Jimmy Zavoral fired a shot from the high slot that hand cuffed the Edina goalie and found the back of the net to tie the score at 1-1. Then to make things even more interesting, White grabbed the lead when Peter Giertsen listened to his coaches with three seconds left and "shot" - the puck went right on net and between the legs at the buzzer to give White the lead 2-1 after two. 

Neither team scored in the third...both had great chances, but White hung on and won 2-1. They advance to the finals to face Chaska Chan on Sunday morning.
