Well, this is it. Time to empty the tank in pursuit of the last trophy of the 2024-25 GNASH season to be claimed. Station Camp played much better defense against the Irish on Thursday than they did the week before, clamping down on Father Ryan’s top scorers, except for the 67-second span in the second period, where the Irish scored both of their goals (Colin Sullivan scored the first, and the second was scored by Gage Hart, not Michael Jaskoski, as I originally thought). Carter Gilleece also played much better in goal. Now, that isn’t to say that Father Ryan were poor. The first and fourth Bison goals weren’t their fault; the first was a great shot by Marshall McMurtry from the point, while the fourth was an empty-netter from Andrew Grooms (well, you can probably blame them for failing to maintain possession of the puck in the Station Camp zone on that one). The second and third goals were defensive breakdowns; Dom DeMaria being left all alone in front on the second, and McClain Gregory able to get to the net with the puck on the third (which was also the winning goal). So, both teams have stuff to clean up, but not much. I think we’re in for a great finale to the postseason. There will be an ice cut after the second period.

Pick: Station Camp

What a Henry Hine Cup win would mean for…
Station Camp-Liberty Creek:
Would be the second Henry Hine Cup for Station Camp, who previously won it in a co-op with Summit and Page in 2022, while this would be the first GNASH trophy of any kind won by Liberty Creek High School.

Father Ryan:
-Would become the sixth team in GNASH history to have won the Predators and Hine Cups, joining Mt. Juliet-Wilson Central, Pope John Paul II, Ravenwood, Montgomery Bell, and Centennial (it should be noted that those five teams have also won the GNASH Cup, which Father Ryan have not won).
-Would mean that there are no GNASH teams that have won the Predators Cup, but no other GNASH trophies (the Irish are the only GNASH team currently with this distinction).
