Woodstock.

Cambridge managed to tie the game up at the 6-minute mark of the third. Kitchener scored with 2:07 left in the third period to take a 3-2 lead. Cambridge determined to win, pulled their goalie and managed to tie the game with 47 second left. Cambridge then gained possession again and scored the winning goal with 10 seconds left and held on for a 4-3 win victory.
