over a fallen Hensall goalie, assist

However, Hensall did not quit,
and Mark Bell put Hensall within
one, with 6:20 left on the clock.

both ends, Hensall pulled their
goalies in the dying seconds of the
game. This move paid off with five
seconds left in the game. Hensall
scored the tying goal in this
well-played 4-4 draw. Scott Brom
