The Frenchman is the Hero D.C. Needed

 

In a thrilling and unforgettable finale to the VHL playoffs, the D.C. Dragons emerged victorious in dramatic fashion, clinching the Continental Cup in overtime of Game 7 against the London United.

 

The game began with the Dragons seizing an early lead, with Keegan Gamble and Vincent Laroche-Gagnier finding the back of the net in the first period. London responded with a goal from Jack Jeckler in the second period, setting the stage for a tense and tightly contested final frame. Leonard Triller leveled the score for London on a power play in the third period, sending the game into overtime.

 

As the overtime period unfolded, both teams battled fiercely but in the end it was The Frenchman who delivered the decisive blow for the Dragons, netting the game-winning goal just over 10 minutes into overtime. The Dragons erupted in celebration as they clinched the Continental Cup, and shutting down London’s remarkable run from the Wildcard.

 

The Frenchman and Vincent Laroche-Gagnier were named the first and second stars of the game respectively for their stellar performances and the third star went to goaltender Henry Tucker Jr. who turned aside an impressive 51 shots to backstop his team to victory.

 

A huge congratulations to everyone on the Dragons for the great season!
