Three powerplay goals in less than four minutes helped the East Kentwood Falcons skate to a 5-1 victory over Forest Hills Central Wednesday night in Tier II action at Patterson Ice Center. The Falcons (10-7 overall, 8-1 in Tier II) opened the third period in a 5-on-3 situation, but before they did, coach Todd Bell told them exactly what he wanted. “Between the second and third I told them I wanted a goal in the 5-on-3 and then I wanted a goal in the 5-on-4. They delivered,” he said. The game was tied 1-1 entering the third period but just 48 seconds into the final frame East Kentwood senior captain Erik Stapleton scored in the 5-on-3 situation. Another 48 seconds later, the Falcons' other senior captain, Brett White, scored on the 5-on-4 powerplay to give the Falcons a 3-1 lead. Click HERE to read entire mlive.com article.
