After an overtime goal by Nathan Walker in game one and last minute heroics by Chris Bourque in game two, the Bears had a lot of momentum on their side heading into Wednesday night’s contest.
Aside from the momentum the Bears had coming into this game, the Phantoms were without their top two goalies, Alex Lyon and Anthony Stolarz, due to injury. Martin Ouellette would get the start for game three with Carter Hart, fresh out of junior, backing him up. Phoenix Copley would get the start for the Bears.
