Ohio Bobcats

The Ohio Bobcats Division 2 Club Ice Hockey team lost in the semi-finals of the TSCHL playoffs to a tough University of Dayton Flyers team.

The Bobcats won an opening round contest against the Indiana University of Pennsylvania Crimson Hawks by the score of 7-2.

Junior forward Shane Darrow and freshman forward Bryan Waldron scored two goals each against IUP.

The Bobcats advanced to face the regular-season champion Dayton Flyers. After falling behind 1-0 early, the Bobcats quickly evened the score. The Flyers took the lead again, but the Bobcats responded. The Flyers then took a 4-2 lead, but the resilient Ohio team rallied to tie the score again.  Bryan Waldron scored two goals again in the game against the Flyers, bringing the freshman’s weekend total to four.

Dayton Flyers

A questionable penalty shot awarded to the Flyers enabled them to take the lead 5-4. The Bobcats failed to knot the score again and ultimately lost 7-4.

The Flyers moved on to the championship game and lost 10-5 to the University of Toledo Rockets.

The Bobcats would like to congratulate the Flyers for their regular season championship and the Rockets for their playoff championship.

Thanks to all for a great season and see you next year!
