The Carolina Jr. Hurricanes have won the 2024-25 USPHL Elite National Championship after a 5-0 victory against the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Knights.
Gregory Harter scored first at the 10:57 mark of the first period, and Brady Piscitelli followed it up quickly, just 19 seconds later at 11:16.
That 2-0 score stood for the duration of the rest of the first and all of the second period. It wasn’t until the 3:54 mark of the third period that Lincoln Burns scored Carolina’s third goal.
Zachary Rich scored into the empty net to essentially seal the deal at 16:42 of the third, but the Jr. Canes weren’t done yet. Christopher Zwirblia scored into a tended net at 18:39 to close out the day’s offense.
Defensively, Anthony Trantas put together a 37-save shutout to help clinch the championship victory. Additionally, Zwirblia and Piscitelli each added two assists to their goals, and Liam Geyer registered two assists.
