4-3 OT loss to heavily favored Houghton in the Regional Champ game. They score to tie the game with 1:17 left in the fame to tied - we're running a perfect lock vs them. Richie Storm's breakaway in OT fails vs Ron Wiitanen and they return rush for the game winner. Dan Juopperi finishes a great career with 2 goals and an assist."
