Repeat or Revenge?
March 17, 2025
The 2025 CMHL championship game is set for a rematch from 2024 after Friday night's semifinals gave us our two finalists.
The (1) Gulls advance after knocking off the (5) Jagrbombs, 5-1. A tightly contested 1-1 game into the third played to an exciting opening semifinal before four Gulls goals in 2:49 (two by John Pascente, and one each from Nick Bosco and Kyle Whalen) midway through the third gave the Gulls the decisive victory.
In the late window, two heavyweight contenders battled to determine our second finalist. With a 3-2 lead for the (3) Axemen over (2) Toonie Tuesday heading into the third, the Axemen shut the door on any Toonie Tuesday comeback with two late third period goals in 24 seconds to seal a 5-2 victory.
Our championship final is now set with a (1) Gulls and (3) Axemen showdown in a rematch of last year's title game. The Axemen hope to avenge last year's heartbreaking overtime loss, while the Gulls aim to repeat as back-to-back CMHL Champions.
Puck drops 9:30pm this Friday, March 21, Rink 3 at the Gale. Good luck to both teams.
