The Class A hockey championship between No. 1 Penfield and No. 2 Victor on Sunday evening at SUNY Brockport’s Tuttle Ice Arena was an instant classic.
The two teams were tied at two after regulation and still tied after four overtime periods. So, the teams were declared co-champions and a shootout was needed to determine which team would advance to the New York State tournament.
After three rounds of a shootout, Victor’s junior forward Jackson Guck scored the game-winner to send the Blue Devils to the state tournament next week.

Games like that is why you LOVE high school sports. Penfield left it all on the ice, either team could have won, flip of a coin (or puck). @victorhshockey moves on, congrats to both teams. Watch this instant classic back on the Varsity Media Sports Network! @SectionVHockey
