The first round of the Ronald McDonald House Cup was played last night at Aviator Ice Rink when the Metro Moose hosted the Long Island Jr Royals. 
Ronald (who was present at the game) was treated to a great game with both teams exchanging scoring opportunities and regulation time ending in a 4-4 tie. A tense five minute sudden death overtime was played with the  puck going from end to end.   With 2.5 seconds left in overtime Royals captain Michael Cartwright  picked a top corner ending the game in the Royals favor.
In post game awards Michael was awarded “Player of the Game” for the Royals and Andrew Veglucci was awarded for being the Royals highest fundraiser for the Ronald McDonald House.
On January 10th at the Nassau Coliseum the Junior Royals will play the winner of the Suffolk/Applecore game  being played on November 15th.
