Korea Domestic Championship Day 3

The interesting games really came down to three in this tournament. When the university teams faced off, and when Halla and High1 will play each other for the championship. If the tournament organizes a game for third place, it would add an extra interesting game. While predictable winners emerged, at least the university teams gave it the old college try.

Hanyang University vs High1 4-9

High1 seems to have no issue running up the scoresheet lately where other teams might be more reserved. They out-shot Hanyang 34-13. This was to be expected, what wasn't to be expected was that Hanyang would score 4 goals on 13 shots. High1 actually started their regular netminder, but pulled him a little over 2 minutes into the second immediately after the first goal. At that point it was 5-1.

Barney, Hyun-joon Kim, and Hyun-min Kim all had 2 goals for High1. Jae-yong Shin had 2 goals for Hanyang

Korea University vs Anyang Halla 3-5

Korea University at least put up a fight against Anyang Halla, for a very brief time they held the lead, going up 2-1 at 9:11 of the second period and holding it for 2 minutes before Halla tied it up. Halla took the lead back a few minutes later, but Korea tied it up again before the second ended. Halla was heavily penalized in this game, 10 to Korea's 4, and all Korea's goals came on the man advantage. Despite further power play chances though, Korea failed to score again and Halla cruised to a 5-3 victory.

Halla opted to start Hyun-seung Eum in net again. Derlago had a couple goals and an assist, Radunske got a goal and 2 assists. For Korea Jin-hwe Ahn and Hyun-sung Lee each had a goal and assist, and Sin-cheol Yu had 2 assists. Halla out-shot Korea 35 to 17.

Thursday will see High1 vs Yonsei University and Anyang Halla vs Kyung Hee University. Both Asia League teams are heavily favoured to win.
