Heights seemed completely unprepared for the start of the Bowling Green Thanksgiving Tournament and it resulted in a 9-0 loss to Padua. The Tigers barely survived the first period as Padua buried 6 goals on 20 shots. Heights regrouped after the period and played stronger over the last 30 minutes of play, but too much damage had been done. The Tigers had a handful of very good scoring chances but couldn't put the puck away, finishing with 8 shots on goal. Peter Eckendorf made his first career start in net for Heights. The defense abandoned him in the first period, but he finished strong with a perfect third period and 47 total saves.
