.

The showdown for the CAHL Cup Championship between the second place Shockers and first place Shamrocks featured two teams with top flight offensive capabilities and brilliant puck stopping ability.

The Shockers possess eight different players who averaged a point per game or better over the course of the season and are led by a pair of 30 goal scorers up front in all-stars Tim Robinson and Adam Giesbrecht. Their 1.33 points per game defenceman Matt Patterson anchors the middle, while leading goaltender Scott Ellard handles the rest.

The Shamrocks are powered by leading scorer Geoff Zimmerman in addition to three 20 goal scoring forwards in Chad Shoemaker, Cody Hull, and Josh Hamill. Defenseman Kent Gillings brings 27 goals and 67 points of firepower to the middle while all-star goalie Ryan Steel takes charge of the back end.

The action got under way at 10:05PM as both teams kept up a high tempo pace through the first couple of shifts. The first goal could be critical as the last time these two teams faced off, it ended in a low scoring 3-3 tie. Just over two minutes in, Geoff Zimmerman controlled the puck as he flew in on the right wing. Taking aim he then wired a perfect shot over the far blocker side for the first score of the game.

Three minutes and eight seconds later, Tim Robinson, the 33 goal man of the Shockers, fired in a short range game tying marker at 9:43 to the roar of his team bench.

Shockers goalie Scott Ellard was called upon for some big time saves and responded as the Shamrocks managed two quick point blank shots on a set up from the corner, however, both shots were to no avail as Scott Ellard maintained his butterfly position and sent the two harmlessly away.

Shamrock Josh Hamill took a wrist shot from the slot area at the 1:07 mark which found its way to the back of the net to regain the one goal lead for his team heading into the second period.

The Shockers were only down by one goal and started off the second period on a mission. Within the first 30 seconds the first Shocker shot rang off the Shamrocks goal post. They quickly jumped on the rebound opportunity however that shot just missed as well as it hit the side of the net.

Over the next 10 minutes the Shamrocks Geoff Zimmerman and Cody Hull  rifled in the next two goals to increase their hold on the game to 4-1.

Daniel Swyripa, who led the Shockers with five regular season game winning goals came through once again for his team with a big goal, just 24 seconds after the Shamrocks attained the three goal lead, to change it to a two goal affair with still over one period to play.

The Shockers goaltender Scott Ellard ensured that the deficit would remain at just two goals heading into the final period as he made a miraculous save on a Shamrock two man breakaway extending his right pad just in time to stone the deke attempt.

The Shockers made a valiant comeback attempt however the Shamrocks all-star goaltender Ryan Steel didn't let anything get past him in the final period even as the Shockers managed some short range chances and scrambles around his crease. The Shamrocks also added some insurance as Cody Hull launched in his second goal of the night, while Lanny McConnel and John Fisher each notched one goal to increase their team's lead to 7-2.

The final buzzer rang through the arena as the Shamrocks celebrated their CAHL Cup Championship win. The Shockers were awarded the CAHL Silver Medals for their second place finish and the Shamrocks were presented with the CAHL Cup. The CAHL 2006-2007 Playoff MVP Trophy was awarded to Shamrock captain Geoff Zimmerman who finished the playoffs with eight points on the strength of three assists and five goals which included the opening and winning goal of the CAHL Cup Championship game.
