The Seattle Thunderbirds are in the Memorial Cup Finals for the first time ever in franchise history. Thanks to the player’s efforts, the Seattle Thunderbirds beat the Peterborough Petes four to one on Friday, June 2nd.
Brad Lambert would bring the thunder and start the party, scoring at 15:32 in the second period. This was Lambert’s only point of the game, but Lambert was all over the ice last night. Lambert had three shots on goal, all of which were high-danger chances.
“We want to win this thing, and now we’re one step closer. We got one more game to look forward to, and we’re going to give it everything we’ve got.”
