Tomah Team Wins Floorball Championship

For the first time in the tournament's five year history, a Tomah team won the advanced division championship in this weekend's Midwest Floorball Championship hosted at Tomah High School.  Teams from Tomah, St. Paul, Minneapolis, and Chicago were in the advanced division.  There were also seven teams in the recreational division.

The Tomah team consisted of Oakley Moser, Josh Moser, Derek Moser, Drew Carlson, Tim Nicksic, Cody Renfro, Oak Moser, and Dan Huneke. The Tomah team beat a strong Chicago team 4-3 in a thrilling semifinal game in which Derek Moser scored the game winning buzzer beater goal in the final second.  The team then faced Minneapolis in the championship game which was decided in a shootout after a 4-4 regulation tie.  The shootout went 9 rounds before Tomah was victorious.  In the shootout, Tim Nicksic scored once and Oakley Moser scored twice including the game winner in the 9^th round.  Goalie Cody Renfro was outstanding, saving 7 shots in the shootout.

Two of the team members from Tomah, Josh Moser and Derek Moser, will play with players from Minneapolis and Chicago on a combined team at the Canada Cup floorball tournament in Toronto in May.
