Eight Overtimes, Two Champions for Michigan High School Hockey

Mary Buckheit of ESPN shares with us a story about the 8-overtime Michigan Division-I High School championship game. As the marathon session approached midnight and the eighth OT period ended, officials declared the game a tie rather than subjecting the kids to further on-ice punishment. Thus Marquette Senior High School and Orchard Lake St. Mary’s were named co-champions.
