Tigers celebrate with Lipon: A goal for little Colt Jameson!

An exciting ice hockey weekend for the Straubing Tigers: An impressive 5-2 away win against Iserlohn was followed by an intense home game against the Wolfsburg Grizzlys on Sunday. In this thrilling game, player JC Lipon, a new father of a son, scored the decisive goal to make it 2-1 four minutes before the end, leading his team to their twelfth win of the season. Tigers player Tim Brunnhuber secured the final score of 3:2 with an empty net goal after the Grizzlys were able to reduce the deficit again with 34 seconds left. Lipon was overjoyed: “The goal was for my son,” said the 31-year-old, who proudly presented his eleven-day-old offspring Colt Jameson to the fans heimatsport.de reported.

The game started evenly with no goals scored in the first third. The Grizzlys were unlucky when a goal was disallowed after video evidence. In the second period, Justin Feser gave the visitors the lead with a shot into the corner, but the Tigers responded quickly. Danjo Leonhardt equalized for the Tigers, which made the home fans cheer. The hosts' pressure increased in the final third until Lipon scored the decisive goal.
