Friday the Indians opened the MAHA Tier 1 Showcase against Honeybaked falling 5-1. Honeybaked scored 5 unanswered goals before Sabre Koleber scored the only goal for the Indians from Gabe Fisher and Caden McDonald early in the third, but that was all they could muster.  Justin Bamberger had the duties in net for the game.

Saturday the Indians met up with Biggby coffee for the second game of the Showcase and Biggby got on the board first midway through the period, however Jack Jimenez evened the score late in the period from Owen Hendrikson and Zach Sweitzer.  In the second it was all Biggby as they scored 5 goals taking a 6-1 lead into the third period, Luke Jimenez added an unassisted goal in the third period for a final score of 6-2.  Cam Labadie was in the net.

Sunday it was Victory Honda as the opponent and they again scored the first goal, but Jack Jimenez scored his second goal of the weekend from Owen Hendrikson and Brayden Grange to even things up, then Gabe Fisher scored on a shot from the point assisted by Evan Hoglund and Dominick Cicco to give the Indians the lead.  Early in the second period Drew Dellies added to the Indians lead on a nice pass from Hendrikson, but Honda scored one of their own late in the period to get back within one goal.  Early in the third period Lucca Weinkauf won the battle along the boards and fed Kyle Stevens for a breakaway and he capitalized giving the Indians a two goal lead again.  Late in the third period the Indians where assessed three penalties and Victory Honda scored on two sending the game into overtime.  In overtime the Indians were again assessed another penalty giving Honda the 4 on 3 advantage which they again capitalized on give them the 5-4 win.  Justin Bamberger had the duties between the pipes for the Indians.

The Indians now return home for the final series before the Christmas break taking on A21 Academy from Windsor Ontario Thursday night at 7pm and Friday at 1pm at the Taffy Abel Arena
