The East Brunswick Bears high school hockey team played the spring season in the Woodbrige Spring Challenge league and won the Championship game vs. St. Joe's (Metuchen) a private school.
East Brunswick had a 4-3 record Vs. St. Joe's who was undefeated during the regular season scoring 70 goals for and only gave up one goal against.
East Brunswick was out shot 42-23 during the game but neither goalie would give up a goal.
With five seconds left in the game, East Brunswick's Jonathan Turner had a breakaway down the right side and gets a shot off. St. Joe's goalie makes the save and the rebound goes to the far right where EB's Corey Lasko had a one timer (shot) to which St. Joe's goalie made another beautiful save.
The puck then rebounds into the high slot area right to EB's Alex Richman. Alex shoots and scores to win the game with only 1.1 second remaining on the clock.
