'lb Smith finally getting to the bench in favor of an extra at- tacker, Grand Valley coughed up the puck behind their own net and it end- ed up in front where Kevin Wheeler was left alone and he made no mistake as he drilled a shot into an open corner to send the game into overtime. The Bulls dominated play in the ex- tra session after killing off the balance of the Fritz penalty and Mike Vincent became the hero when he jammed the puck into the net for the tournament championship at the 4:44 mark.
