In Saturday night’s opening game of the MAHA series hosting the Compuware Ambassadors, the Indians came out quick as Carter Huckson scored on a backhand shot early in the first period from Tyler Neveau and Sam Swintek to take the early lead. Three minutes later Aedan Haapala capitalized on an Indian power play threading a shot from the point past their netminder for the two-goal lead, assisted by Carter Huckson, the Indians weren’t done scoring as Jordan Murray found the net from Lake Pawlanta to give the Indians a 3-0 lead at the end of the first period. In the second period Evan Hoglund stole the puck at center ice and went in to beat the Ambassadors goalie on a shot unassisted. Compuware scored midway through the period to get on the board, but Deven Jones-McDonald buried a shot on passes from Huckson and Treyce Moran for the 5th goal of the game. In the third Dominic Cicco scored the only goal of the period banging home a rebound off a shot by Murray to give the Indians the 6-1 lead which they carried to the end of the game. Isiah Anderson played excellent in net to earn the win for the Indians.
Sunday’s rematch saw a much different game as Evan Hoglund scored early in first period from Dominic Cicco to take the early lead however Compuware came back and answered to even the score at 1-1. Both teams played even throughout the rest of the game sending it into overtime. 5 minutes in overtime couldn’t decide a winner and it took six shooters to decide the fate of the game for the Ambassadors 2-1.
The Indians head back on the road next weekend to Detroit to play Little Caesars next Saturday and Sunday.
