Wooster, Ohio - The Troy Bruins inaugural season came to a heartbreaking end on Saturday afternoon with a upsetting 7-6 sudden death overtime loss to Team Ulysse inside the Alice Noble Arena in Wooster. With the loss, the Bruins inaugural season record is set as 34-15-1 as they return home the 2010 NJHL Knox Cup Runner Up after their 6-2 loss to Knox Cup Champion Wooster Oilers on Friday night.

Saturday afternoon's game would feature a Bruins team firing on all cylinders in the first two periods, propelled by a hat trick in the first half. Despite their early charge, the Bruins fell on their heals in the final period of regulation, allowing Ulysse to surge for four unanswered goals and forcing a sudden death overtime period.

Overtime would start on a sour note for the Bruins, as captain Willie Boyle suffered a controversial hit into the corner, severely injuring him and leaving the Bruins without one of their most veteran leaders. It wouldn't take long for Ulysse to pounce on a visibly shaken Bruins club, scoring the game-winning goal less than three minutes into the extra frame to end the game.

With the loss, the Bruins inaugural season comes to a bittersweet close. Troy becomes NJHL Knox Cup Runner Up, and now prepares for a busy off season preparing for the 60th anniversary of Troy Bruins Hockey and Hobart Arena for the 2010-2011 season of Bruins hockey.
