Stampede claims regular season title

Cody Merrick pushed through a pair of goals and the Stampede

wrapped up a perfect regular season last weekend following a 4-2 victory

over the Little Dawgs in a Campbell Division match at Coast 2 Coast

Inline Hockey Center in Huntington Beach.

Merrick’s brother, Kyle, also scored once in the victory, and

Michael Marchand had an assist as the Stampede enters this weekend’s

postseason tournament with a 10-0 record.

Joey Mahoney scored both goals and Jared Rassler assisted one of

those scores to pace the Little Dawgs, who fell to 1-8-1 overall, yet

will compete in the Campbell postseason playoffs.
