A solid 3 goal first period by Hershey took the wind out of the Manitoba Moose, and set up was to become the Calder Cup winning game, the 10th in Hersey Bears history, and a new AHL record. Goals by Andrew Gordon, Alexandre Giroux, Chris Bourque and Keith Aucoin helped the Bears secure the victory, with the Moose only scoring once in the game by Mario Bliznack.
The win came the same day Dan Bylsma’s Pittsburgh Penguins won the NHL’s Stanley Cup. Bylsma started the 2008/2009 season in the AHL.

During a game of hockey there are 2 main rules that affect gameplay. They are the Offside rule and the Icing rule.
Offside:
When any member of the attacking team precedes the puck carrier over the defending team’s blue line.
Icing:
When a player shoots the puck across the red center line and past the opposing red goal line. Icing is not called if the player’s team is killing a penalty or an onsides attacker or defending goaltender touches the puck first.
