Wildcats Secure Top Spot for Lakes Region Playoffs

Veeti Kohvakka stopped 30 shots and Arlo Merritt scored twice as the Kimball Union Wildcats captured the Lakes Region regular season championship with a 5-2 over Proctor on Wednesday in Meriden. Carson Moe scored early to give KUA the 1-0 lead, but Proctor tied the game on the powerplay to make it 1-1 after one period. In the second, Merritt scored his first of the game off a stretch pass from Christian Felton, while Drew Bennett, set up by Paul Dore, put the Wildcats up 3-1 late in the period. Proctor got within one early in the third before Dore set up Seth Stadheim who found the back of the net to restore the two-goal lead. Merritt put the game on ice later when he finished off a nice passing play from Bennett and Brian Carrabes.
