Wooster, Ohio - The first place Wooster Oilers would take an early lead and would never let it go on their way to a less than spectacular 6-2 win over the Bruins in game one of the 2010 NJHL Finals from the sold out Alice Noble Arena in Wooster, Ohio Friday night.

With the standing room only crowd in Wooster cheering on the home team from the start, the Oilers would take the quick lead less than five minutes into the opening period off a deflection past Bruins starting netminder Allan Dowler at the 15:49. Troy would struggle to find their stride as the period continued, with Wooster capitalizing on a centering pass from the far point to blast a slapshot past a stunned Dowler for the 2-0 lead with just over seven minutes showing on the clock. As the time continued to wind down in the opening frame, the Bruins, aided by the generous and boisterous contingent of Bruins fans which made the three hour trek, got on the board with 3:33 to go with a K's Hamburger Shop Powerplay goal by Leonid Kovalev assisted by Egor Pogodin-Alexseev to cut the Oilers lead down to one. Yet, the momentum would remain in Wooster's possession for a scramble goal in front of Dowler while the Bruins were signaled for a delay penalty coming into the zone. The goal, with just 1:41 remaining in the period, would take the hometown Oilers into the intermission ahead of the Bruins 3-1.

In much the same fashion, the Oilers would start the second period with an early goal, this time at the 15:41 mark, off a centering pass through the slot to jump out with a 4-1 lead. Troy would improve in the second period, challenging the Oilers offensively with several quality chances, but would only be able to muster one goal in the middle stanza. Justin Dornhecker would cash in his first goal of the weekend off a tape to tape pass from Pogodin-Alexseev to blast a snapshot past Oilers netminder Alexander Galaysha at 9:33 to lead the Bruins into the second intermission trailing the Oilers 4-2.

The Oilers would take hold of the third period and not look back, scoring twice while holding off the Bruins offense through the final buzzer for the lackluster 6-2 win to take game one of the 2010 NJHL Finals.

Despite the loss, the Bruins continue the weekend with an afternoon matinee against Team Ulysse from Montreal, Canada to challenge for the International Cup championship in addition  to the Knox Cup for the NJHL title. Faceoff against Ulysse from the Alice Noble Arena in Wooster is set for 1pm with the game televised live on postTV at www.TroyBruins.com with the voice of the Bruins JT Szabo handling the call.
