The scoring starved Thunderwolves offence scored four times in knocking off the Ontario Tech Ridgebacks on Saturday night in front of a nearly sold-out Fort William Gardens.
At this point, they’ll take them anywhere they can find them.Jayden Wojchiechowski scored a go-ahead goal in the third period on an Al MacInnis-like shot from just inside the zone, and when that lead didn’t stand, Colin Van Den Hurk scored the overtime clincher, his second game-winning goal in three outings, to lead the Wolves past the University of Ontario Institute of Technology Ridgebacks 4-3 in front of 3,315 fans at Fort William Gardens.
“We were not going to rush things, but just make sure we got one good shot off. Ed just dragged it across the top and I said I just had to hit this thing as hard as I can and it went in the net,” Van Den Hurk said. Wojchiechowski’s goal was extra special. Not only did it give the Thunderwolves a 3-2 lead midway through the third, it also happened to be just his second in an LU uniform and first since 2021-22, after going all of last season without putting the puck in the net.“I don’t know who that is,” he said, the 24-year-old just five when the hall-of-fame defender with the hardest shot in the game retired from the National Hockey League.“Obviously every game is important,” Wojchiechowski said.
