The time had finally come for Strong Island Ice Hockey to revenge their bronze finish last year in Lake Placid.

In the gold medal game on the 1980 Olympic ice surface, Strong Island played a solid game against the grizzlies, winning in double overtime on a goal by Bobby Corwin. It was a very dramatic game which included a penalty shot in the first overtime period that was stopped by goalie, Eric Silverstein. Stats for the tournament are posted here.
