Three years ago tonight, Alexandre Beauregard scored in
double-overtime to give the Saint John Sea Dogs their first President’s Cup
title.
Beauregard scored at 15:45 of the second overtime frame to
give the Dogs a 3-2 victory in Game 6 over the Gatineau Olympiques. The goal
ended an incredible game and an incredible series between the two.
"It happened so quick that all I wanted to do was
get a shot on goal," said Beauregard to the Canadian Press after the game.
"When I saw it go in it was an incredible feeling. This is amazing."
“I just shot the puck at the net,” he added to the Ottawa
Citizen. “The ice wasn’t very good, it was the second overtime and I was tired.
“It’s an incredible feeling.”
A couple often forgotten notes from this game: Zack
Phillips and Steven Anthony were both hurt and did not play. Also, the
Olympiques were 23 seconds away from forcing a Game 7 but Jonathan Huberdeau
tied it. Unreal game.
Some video of the celebration can be found here.
Of course, the Sea Dogs would go on to win the Memorial
Cup in Mississauga.
