The Vipers run at the North American Championships came to an abrupt end this morning at the hands of the mighty Minuteman Flames by the score of 8-1. The Vipers fell behind early but they didn't let that bother them as with 5:50 to go in period 1, Kyle Lycnh would streak down the right side, make a nice move around the defender and slide a nice pass to Kyle Hentosh who would knock it in to tie the game at 1, and that would be how the first period ended. The Vipers did a nice job in the second period of slowing the Flames down through the middle of the ice but they would still break through for two goals and take a 3-1 lead after 2. The Flames would then flex their muscles and score 4 unanswered goals in 4 minutes to put the game well in hand, they would add another with 30 seconds left as well. The Vipers left the rink with their heads held high after an incredible run in this tournament.
