A miracle end to the season for Colin Dorgan and Blackstone Valley School ๐
After scoring the 2OT winner to send his school to the finals, Colin Dorgan stepped up again with his fourth goal in as many playoff games, tying the championship game with 32.2 seconds remaining in the third period.
The final game would go on to quadruple overtime, where Jaxon Boyes scored the golden goal for Blackstone Valley. BVS were the sixth seed in the playoffs but still came away as Rhode Island Division 2 High School champions.
Dorganโs mother, brother, and grandfather were murdered in Rhode Island at a hockey game by his father last month. The greatest comeback story of the season.

Death, Taxes, and Crinon getting suspended โ
The second game of the Synerglace Ligue Magnus playoff series between the Brรปleurs de Loups de Grenoble ๐ซ๐ท and Diables Rouges de Brianรงon ๐ซ๐ท got heated with two suspensions, both of which were not put into effect until game four.
An 8-game suspension has been handed to Grenoble defender ๐ซ๐ทPierre Crinon after he tackled a player to the ice after the whistle. It is reported that 4 games are for the gesture and 4 are because he is a repeat offender. Earlier this season he was suspended 7 games for punching a goaltender in the head and then was kicked off the French Olympic Team for fighting.
Earlier in the same playoff match, Brianรงon forward ๐ฏ๐ตKohei Sato made a dangerous hit on a Grenoble player, subsequently earning a 2-game suspension. Crinonโs suspendible action came in retaliation, however it was on a different opponent.
