With a 4-3 triple overtime win over the Carleton Ravens in playoff action Wednesday night in Ottawa, the Concordia Stingers enter the OUA men's hockey history books and earn a few mentions in the U Sports book as well.
The game, which was the first of a best-of-three series in Round 2 of the OUA playoffs, took six periods and 115:18 minutes to decide. It was the longest OUA playoff game on record.
It goes down as the fourth-longest men’s overtime game in U Sports hockey history and the second longest involving an OUA team.
