Kalamazoo Jr. K-Wings News Release

Janesville, WI - Friday night saw, for the third straight game, the Kalamazoo Jr. K-Wings win by a score of 2-1. This victory over the Janesville Jets was the club's fourth win in a row. The game winning overtime goal was scored by Danny Hamburg (8th).

The first period saw Janesville outshoot Kalamazoo 11-5. Janesville was able to take the lead at the 7:28 mark when Mark Sullivan (2nd) was able to drive home the puck off the rebound of a shot by Eric Cruickshank.

That Janesville lead would last for the rest of the first period, but wouldn't stand for very long in the second. At the 18:12 mark in the second period, Kalamazoo's Josh Dangel (5th) tied the game. The goal was assisted by Kalamazoo's two leading scorers: Robbie Payne and Luc Boby.

The third period was riddled with close calls by both teams, but neither were able to put one into the net, so an overtime period was needed to decide a winner.

Overtime was only 1:43 away from being over when Hamburg hammered home the win for the Jr. K-Wings. His game winner was assisted by Mikhail Bushinski and Sam Johnson.

The game was evenly matched and hard fought, with both goaltenders (Alex Okicki and Austin Priebe) having solid nights, but Kalamazoo was able to prevail 3:47 into overtime.
