LOVELAND — Heading into the third period, Battle Mountain goalie Logan Gremmer knew there was no room for error. His team trailed by one. He had already let the puck into the net four times. A fifth would spell doom.
On the other side of the ice, he got the help he needed. Jensen Rawlings tied the game then Hunter Davis scored the game winner in overtime. A 5-4 win gave Battle Mountain the Class 4A state hockey title and the first hockey championship in school history.
After celebrating with his teammates and receiving the state championship trophy, he made his way to the locker room as his emotions were getting the better of him.
“I’m doing as well as anyone can be doing,” he said.
He wasn’t lying. He was between the pipes on March 9 when Crested Butte beat the Huskies 5-1. It was one of just two losses on the year for Battle Mountain and it was a painful memory that they had to bring up Thursday morning before making their way to the Budweiser Events Center.
“We brought it up this morning and talked about it briefly,” coach Derek Byron said. “We knew what we had to do to get it done today. We made some adjustment and we had to play strong.”
The Titans got a good bounce as Matthew Solanik fired the puck from the blue line and it snuck by Gremmer. Wyatt Horn and Tyler Knox scored before the first period edge to give the Huskies a 2-1 lead.
Then a goal fest broke out in the second half. The Titans scored two power play goals to regain the lead before each team added another. Heading into the third period, the Titans held on to that one-goal lead, putting every bit of pressure on Gremmer heading into the third.
“I was nervous, but I knew it was shut down hockey,” he said.
And that’s what he did for the rest of the night. Gremmer faced 12 shots between the third period and overtime and turned them all away. He watched as Rawlings scored on a goal that was fired from near the blue line and bounced off the glove of Crested Butt goalie TJ Wonnacott.
Neither team could break the 4-4 tie at that point and they went into overtime, a sudden death scenario where someone was going to claim their first hockey championship.
The suspense didn’t last long as Davis scored the game winner just over two minutes into the overtime period.
“We just did what we had to do,” Davis said. “We know what we practice and we just went and played how we always play.”
The Huskies had previously played in two state championship games, losing one to Cheyenne Mountain in 2002 and one to Regis Jesuit in 2008.
“We wanted it so bad,” Davis said. “We’ve never had a hockey championship at Battle Mountain and we really wanted to beat Crested Butte after they beat us 5-1.”
They got their redemption. And because of it, the Huskies are state hockey champions for the first time.
LOVELAND — All night it just felt like someone was going to score with a man advantage. That worked out well for Crested Butte’s Jack Lambert and also scared him late in the third period.
Lambert scored a power play goal then was sent to the penalty box and watched as Cheyenne Mountain frantically tried to tie the game. But it couldn’t be done. Lambert’s goal was the game winner as No. 1 Crested Butte advanced to the Class 4A hockey championship game with a 4-2 win over No. 4 Cheyenne Mountain at the Budweiser Events Center in Loveland.
Cheyenne Mountain got on the board early thanks to a Wyatt Furda goal. But the Titans weren’t phased and knew they had plenty of time to battle back.
“It’s happened a couple of times this season where we’ve been down in the first period, even down in the second period,” Lambert said. “We all know what we can do when we have our heads up. When our heads are down, we collapse.”
They kept their heads up after that first Cheyenne Mountain goal. Rowan Piccaro tied the game two minutes later then added a goal in the second period to give the Titans a 2-1 lead.
Noah Bonnett got the equalizer at 5:48 in the third period on an overtime goal. An interference call on Denton Damgaard gave the Titans a man advantage and Lambert was quick to take advantage, scoring just 23 seconds into the power play.
“I was just thinking don’t miss,” Lambert said. “Fortunately enough, I didn’t.”
He got sent to the penalty box soon after and watched nervously as Cheyenne Mountain did everything possible to tie the game, but to no avail.
This is the first state championship game in program history for Crested Butte.

(3) Battle Mountain 2, (2) Kent Denver 0
The first 4A state title game in Colorado history was solidified as Battle Mountain advanaced with a 12-0 win over Kent Denver.
Carter Large jammed a loose puck into the Kent Denver net at at 6:09 in the first period and Nate Bishop scored with just over 10 minutes remaining in the third. That was more than enough for Huskies goalie Logan Gremmer.
Gremmer faced 23 shots and stopped them all to give Battle Mountain a much-desired rematch against Crested Butte. The Titans beat the Huskies 5-1 back on March 9, the final game of the regular season for both teams.
The win on Thursday was the first time all year that Battle Mountain had shut an opponent out.
For the Huskies, this is their third trip to a state hockey championship game. They played for titles in 2002 and 2008. Each time they lost by just a goal, first to Cheyenne Mountain then to Regis Jesuit.
Neither Battle Mountain or Crested Butte have won a state hockey championship so either way, history will be when the puck drops for the game at 5:30 p.m. on Friday.
