2005-2006 Midget Major CAHA State Champions
Breckenridge CO, 03-12-2006
Fresh off their CDYHL league championship the Colorado Junior Eagles
midget major team came into the CAHA state championship tournament the
number 1 seeded team in the tournament. This setup a rematch with
Pueblo in the first round. Pueblo played a smart game and lead 4-3 with
less than two minutes to go in the game. The Eagles pulled their goalie
and Aaron Lam
found a way to put the puck in the net with only 1:23 to go on the
clock sending the game into overtime. In overtime the Eagles found
themselves on the powerplay and won the game with a beautiful play by Dominic Guttormson and Chris Aarvig who put the puck top shelf.
The Eagles would go on to play a well coached hard working Foothills
team in the final game. The Eagles got the lead early on a pretty play
by Jordan Guttormson and Collin Kuhn
but Foothills wasn't ready to quit and tied up the game in the second
period. The third period was a goalie showdown and both the Foothills
goalie and the Eagles Daniel Wood played fantastic sending the
game into overtime in a 1-1 tie. No team could get the puck past either
goalie in the first overtime setting up DOUBLE OVERTIME. In double OT Hank Stabenau sent a brilliant long pass directly on the tape of "Mr. Clutch" Chris Aarvig who blazed a trail and faked out the goalie bankhanding the puck in the net to secure the victory!
The Colorado Junior Eagles swept the CAHA Midget division winning both the Midget Minor and Major divisions.
