By Rosalind Russell – The Elliot Lake Vikings came ever so close to winning the NOJHL showcase.
A goal coming early in overtime gave the French River Rapids their first win of the season as they edged the Elliot Lake Vikings 4-3 in a thrilling Northern Ontario Junior Hockey League Showcase finale Wednesday evening at Gerry McCrory Countryside Sports Complex.
On a late power play, the Vikings tied it to force overtime with five seconds left in regulation.
Regrouping, the Rapids pulled out their initial victory of the campaign, 21 seconds into overtime.
It is now back to regular season play for the teams.
