Ice: Whalers 4, Squirrels 2

The Squirrels only had two subs and put up a major fight, but couldn’t close the deal Saturday in a 4-2 loss to the Whalers.

After a scoreless first period, the Whalers finally got on the board in a really bad way – short handed – and then added another as they entered the final frame with a 2-0 lead. But then the Squirrels had two spectacular plays in a shot span. Tony Richelsen made a power move into the zone and passed the puck to Terry Young, who passed it back to Richelsen who then cut the lead to 2-1. Moments later, Neil Shah did something similar, this time getting the puck to Young who put it in.

At 2-2, the Squirrels had momentum but fatigue settled in. The Whalers scored two more in less than 35 seconds, then held on despite several great plays by the Squirrels.
