Underdog Uproar: Whalers vs. Tuck for the Whalen Cup

ODDS:	Whalers By 1 Goal
OVER/UNDER:	6.5 Goals

Pregame Preview: UVHL Championship Showdown for the Whalen Cup

It’s the moment we’ve all been waiting for in the Upper Valley Hockey League – the UVHL Championship Game for the coveted Whalen Cup! In a twist of fate, the bottom seeds have clawed their way into the playoffs, setting the stage for an epic showdown as #3 Whalers host #4 Tuck Hockey Club.

Historically, Tuck has dominated this rivalry, leading the series a staggering 48-20. With memories of lopsided scores and outrageous moments – think 11-2 blowouts and nail-biting 10-1 affairs – it might seem like the odds are stacked. But tonight, the Whalers are ready to flip the script and steal the spotlight (and the cup!).

Season Stats & Player Spotlight

The Whalers boast some of the league’s flashiest talents. Ean Small leads the charge with 21 points, while Ben Rouillard isn’t far behind with 19 points. On the other side, Tuck’s stars include Nicholas Sullivan and Maclean Lalor, each tallying 17 points.

In the crease, it’s a battle of the boards: Whalers’ netminder Jered Condon boasts a 3.25 GAA (8-5-0 record), while Tuck’s Jenkins Marshall holds a 4.09 GAA (5-6-1 record). The stage is set for some stellar goaltending.

Hype, History & Hilarity

When asked about tonight’s big game, Whalers’ captain Dan VeNard quipped, We're going to steamroll Tuck like my grandma’s dumplings on a freezing winter day! Tonight, 48-20 is just a number. Not to be outdone, Tuck’s own Nicky Sullivan fired back, We might be the underdogs, but we're sizzling under pressure – watch us cook up a championship upset and claim that Whalen Cup!

With decades of rivalry, outrageous scores, and enough drama to fill an entire ice arena, tonight’s matchup promises to be one for the history books. Will the Whalers finally turn the tide, or will Tuck continue their historic dominance? One thing’s for sure – expect plenty of laughs, jaw-dropping plays, and a little bit of hockey magic.

Prediction: In a nail-biter of a championship game, I’d lean toward a slight upset by the home team. Although Tuck holds a daunting 48-20 historical advantage, the Whalers’ momentum and home-ice magic might just tip the scales. Expect a tight, high-scoring affair – I’m predicting a 4-3 win for the Whalers. Bookmakers could set the line nearly even, roughly Tuck -110 / Whalers +110, with an Over/Under around 6.5 total goals.

Don’t miss the action as the Whalers and Tuck Hockey Club battle it out for the ultimate prize: the Whalen Cup. Game day is set for Wednesday, March 5th, 2025 – let the madness begin!

Bottom Seed Tuck Dominates Whalers to Win Whalen Cup

Whalen Cup Championship: #3 Whalers vs #4 Tuck

The Whalen Cup, named in honor of Paul "Pop" Whalen, was up for grabs, and Tuck made sure to leave no doubt about who deserved it this season. In a dominant display, they skated past the Whalers with a commanding 6-2 victory, cementing themselves as UVHL champions.

First Period

Maclean Lalor got things started for Tuck at 12:04, finishing a smooth setup from Nicholas Sullivan and David Husband. The Whalers, missing key players, struggled to generate offense early, but their fill-in goalie Colin Farr stood tall.

Second Period

The Whalers found life at 12:03 when Ean Small buried one with assists from Ben Rouillard and Kelly Park. But that glimmer of hope was snuffed out quickly.

At 6:22, Husband added his name to the scoresheet again, this time with a goal from Kyle Lockwood. Then Tuck poured it on:

3:33 - Sullivan found the back of the net, assisted by Matthew Ouellette.

2:39 - Husband struck again, set up by Mikey Yablong.

2:07 - Max Plonsker capped off a brutal stretch, converting a pass from Eric Fein.

Third Period

Tuck wasn’t done. Plonsker potted another at 13:11, assisted by Ouellette. Down 6-1, the Whalers managed a late tally when Nate Robinson scored at 6:33, helped by Russell Teller and Scott Christian.

Final Score: Tuck 6, Whalers 2

Tuck lifts the Whalen Cup, ending the season in dominant fashion. The Whalers, missing some key contributors, simply couldn’t keep up with Tuck’s offensive onslaught.
