Paul Christiansen drove towards the net and scored with two seconds remaining in the second overtime as Conant stunned rival Hoffman Estates 9-8 in two overtime periods on Tuesday night. The teams traded leads throughout the game, with Hoffman scoring the final two goals in regulation to tie the game at 8-8. Both teams missed golden opportunities to score the game-winner in the overtime periods, but Christiansen drove towards the middle and took a perfect pass from Brett Krahn and found the top left corner to send the crowd into pandemonium.

Krahn and Kurt Zumpf each scored four goals for the Cougars in the win, while Chris Skalon tallied four scores for the Hawks. Jim Ashbrook made a whopping 26 saves in the losing effort for Hoffman.
