May 12—The Maine Nordiques season came to a screeching halt.
The Maryland Black Bears scored six unanswered goals in Game 5 in a 6-2 victory to capture the NAHL East Division championship over the Nordiques at the Piney Orchard Ice Arena in Odenton, Maryland.
“I think momentum is a huge thing at this level, and that’s something I’ve learned in my first season,” Maine Nordiques first-year coach Nick Skerlick said. “I’ve seen leads evaporate pretty quickly.”
Maryland will represent the East Division at the Robertson Cup this week
