In a dominant performance, Tupper Lake secured its second Empire League title by sweeping the North Country Thunderbirds in the Finals. The team’s victory marks a historic achievement for the franchise, which last captured the championship several years ago.
Tupper Lake came into the series with momentum and didn’t miss a beat, showcasing their balanced offense and lockdown defense throughout the series. From the opening game, Tupper Lake set the tone, overwhelming the Thunderbirds with a blend of speed and precision, taking a commanding lead early on.
The Thunderbirds, though valiant in their efforts, struggled to find their rhythm against Tupper Lake’s relentless pressure. Game 2 saw much of the same, with Tupper Lake’s offensive stars shining once again, capping the series with a convincing win.
This title not only highlights the strength of Tupper Lake’s roster but also cements their place as one of the Empire League’s premier teams. With back-to-back strong seasons, the franchise has proven that its rise to the top was no fluke, and this second championship further solidifies their legacy.
For the Thunderbirds, it was a tough series, but their resilience and strong regular-season performance set the foundation for future success. As they reflect on the series loss, there is no doubt they’ll return with even more determination next season.
Tupper Lake’s sweep in the Finals is a fitting end to a fantastic season, leaving fans celebrating another title for their beloved team.
