Result: 4 - 3 Loss
Game Summary: Ukraina were in the championship game today, and unfortunately didn't play their best to win it all. We came out playing decent, and Roman Dzioba scored the opening goal in his last game for Ukraina as he departs for Australia to attend Law School. What a great player he has been for our team, he will be missed and a spot will be waiting for him when he returns! ATM tied the game up 1-1 shortly after. Luke Makischuk gave Ukraina the lead again only for ATM to equalize once more. In the second half Ukraina were dominant, but just could kill the game off. Mike Podgorski scored a good finish to give Ukraina the lead with 9 minutes to go, but once again Ukraina were flat and gave up the tying goal. The game went into sudden death overtime, and although Ukraina dominated, could not find the net. The game went into Penalty shots, and Andriy Popowych came up with a massive save to keep Ukraina in it, but the team came up short in the end. Dissapointing end to a fantastic season.
