Game Summary

The picture on the "Home" page shows the highlight of the game. With the assistance of Congresswomen Marcy Kaptur, Kyle Cannon drops the puck in the ceremonial opening face-off. Cannon's ability to "drop" the puck was the prelude to a historical hockey game. Over 4,000 fans paid to support the Kyle Cannon Foundation with their attendance at the Lucas County Arena. The attendance established an all time record for attendance at an Ohio High School hockey game. During the opening ceremonies Clay High School's Athletic Director presented an impressive display case which contained a white home Clay hockey Jersey with the number 3. It was then announced that the #3 was being retired and would only ever be worn by one player - Kyle Cannon. I was the first time a number has ever been retired in honor of a Clay hockey player.The same display case also contained a Clay Varsity Letter presented to Kyle. It was a moving ceremony which left many of eyes full of tears and many hearts lifted by Kyles positive spirit.

AS for the game, Kevin Hoyle and Aaron Podbielniak each scored twice to lead AW to a convincing 6 to 2 win over Clay.
