The Hershey Bears are once again Calder Cup champions, as Matt Strome scored the game-winning goal in overtime to beat the Coachella Valley Firebirds, 5-4, in Game 6 at Giant Center.
Strome scored the Cup-clinching goal only 66 seconds into OT, while Pierrick Dube recorded a hat trick, and experienced Washington Capital Hendrix Lapierre had a tally in the first period.
The Bears also defeated the Firebirds in OT last year when Mike Vecchione scored the game-winner for the 3-2 victory on the road in Game 7.
