LA Pama Cyclones - Back-To-Back

Back-To-Back

Pama dominated at the 2006 NARCh Finals, going 6-0 for the tournament and outscoring their opponents 28-8. The Cyclones got strong goaltending from starter Jeff Reynaert, who replaced Rob Laurie, and backup Rob Sudduth.
The tournament culminated with a Cyclones-Mudcats Championship Game rematch. This one would be much closer than the 8-4 game at WinterNationals. Josh Milewski got the game off to a quick start, scoring on the first shot of the game. That goal would hold up and Pama took a 1-0 lead into the intermission. JP Beilsten, then playing for the Mudcats, tied the game at 1 but Gerry Osterkamp took over from there. Osterkamp put Pama in the lead 2-1 and then, after 2 Mudcat goals made it 3-2 Mudcats, Osterkamp dangled 2 defensemen and scored on a backhand top shelf with 2:18 remaining in the game. That goal would send the game into Overtime where the Mudcats had a potential game-winning goal called off upon further review by the officials. After the controversy, the Mudcats were given a powerplay but failed to score. Once the Cyclones returned to even strength, Osterkamp set up Michael Nijjar on a 2-on-1 for the game winning and championship clinching goal. Cyclones' goaltenders Jeff Reynaert and Rob Sudduth shared Top Goalie honors with an incredible .940 save percentage.
