A successful road trip for the Perth Thunder has seen them clinch a place in the 2016 Australian Ice Hockey League finals series for the second consecutive season, with back-to-back 4-3 victories over the Newcastle North Stars and Sydney Bears ensuring they’ll be able to battle for the Goodall Cup again in 2016.
The Thunder entered the weekend knowing that five points would be enough to see them in the finals and the white-hot form of North American forwards Michael Dorr (2-4-6), Ben Breault (2-3-5) and Jessyko Bernard (2-2-4), as well as defenceman Rob Haselhurst (1-3-4) across the two games ensured the Thunder gained those five points.
