Glenbrook South, Illinois, defeated Holy Ghost Prep 5-1 Sunday afternoon in the championship game of the National Scholastic Invitational in Jamestown, New York.
Ronnie Selzer scored Holy Ghost Prep’s only goal.
Glenbrook South goaltender Luke Winger made 36 saves and was named the tournament’s MVP.
The Firebirds went 4-1 over the course of a weekend which Coach Gump Whiteside hopes will set the tone for the best of the season.
“This team retreat weekend has become a signature part of playing Holy Ghost Prep varsity ice hockey,” Whiteside said. “It’s a life-changing experience for our guys. This experience will be with them forever.
“We played five really good teams from Ohio, New York, Pennsylvania, and Illinois. We battled. We worked hard. I’m really proud of how we performed this weekend.
The Firebirds, who are 6-2 on the season, resume APAC play on Friday when they travel to The Hun School.
