WildCats Tie Mohicans...Again






Waterloo Ont –

The Waterloo WildCats and the Redondo Beach Mohicans played to a 1-1 tie last night at the Jungle Dome in Waterloo. The game was the second tie in as many meetings between the two teams, this one dominated by goaltenders Jussi Markkanen and Jean-Sebastian Gigure, who combined to stop 60 shots in the 65 minute game.

For Markkanen, it was his first CHL start, and he looked impressive stopping all but 1 of the 29 shots he faced, including 5 in the overtime period, earning him the second star of the game. Gigure stopped 32 WildCat shots en route to the first star selection.

Jasoslav Spacek scored the lone goal for the WildCats on the power-play mid-way through the second period, but the lead didn’t last for long as Brad Ference scored a little over 4 minutes later to even things up.

Waterloo will host the Nemesis tonight at the Jungle Dome. The Cats are looking to keep a 6 game unbeaten streak alive as they take on the defending CHL Cup champions for the second time in 3 games.
