Season 5’s final was a hard fought battle between Super Soldiers and Green Lantern Corp. Both teams were primed for battle and had their sights set on lifting the GTA Inline (aka Thompson) Cup in the air.
Karl Johnston gave the Super Soldiers a one goal lead in the 1st period which they would not relinquish for the rest of the game. Led by Ramin Khaze and Dave Singh, Green Lantern sent wave after wave of offensive attempts but could not break the solid defensive structure of the Super Soldiers.
Going into the 3rd, the score was still a close 2-1 game but Green Lantern’s light finally dimmed out in the third and the Super Soldiers smelling the blood, went on full attack mode to defeat Green Lantern 7-2. Congratulations to the MVP of the playoffs, Karl Johnston who had a dominating 3 goal, 2 assist game and to everyone else on Super Soldiers.
Congratulations are also in order to all the other Season 5 award winners. Special mention goes to Stan Koudlai and Dave Steinfeld who were voted for by the captains as winners of the Hart (Most Valuable) and Selke (Best Defensive Forward) trophies. Both players were part of a mid-season reshuffling which saw Koudlai traded from Stark Industries to Heralds of Galactus and Steinfeld who selflessly moved from his regular position on defense to forward to help stabilize his team’s lineup.
