Chelsea Hockey vs Lumen Christi: 25 January 2014

Chelsea traveled to Jackson’s Optimist Arena for the second half of its season series against Lumen Christi.

Late in the first period, Lumen Christi took a minor penalty. If you know anything about hockey, you probably know that minor penalties are two minutes. Well, usually. That evening in Jackson, that minor penalty was…

If ever you plan to visit Jackson, don’t forget that a Jackson minute has more than 60 seconds.

With Chelsea trailing 2-0 in the second, one Bulldog got behind the Titan defense…

…and scored.

And there was much rejoicing.

And then with under a minute to play in the second, Chelsea tied the game at 2.

Not long after taking a 3-2 lead in the third, Chelsea scored again to take a two-goal lead. The Lumen Christi fans behind the goal were not pleased.

Lumen Christi scored to narrow the deficit to one, but Chelsea answered with yet another goal — its third of the period — to push its lead back to two.

Chelsea held on for a 5-3 victory to sweep the regular-season series against Lumen Christi.

Yet again, there was much rejoicing.
