The team was down 2-5 at the start of the fourth period. They came back to tie it up, then the Miners scored short handed in overtime for the win.

“What a game! It was amazing,” Bonita Huchison told TownLift. She’s not only the mother of Hunter, one of the PCHS student athletes, but a tireless volunteer for the Park City School District.
