The Tigers opened the Heights Holiday Tournament with an offensive explosion against Cincinnati Sycamore. Heights scored three in the second and three in the third to blow open a close game. Ethan Farris put the Tigers up 1-0 in the first period as both teams went back and forth with scoring chances. The game remained close until halfway through the second period, when the Tigers took a penalty and an unusual occurrence ignited the offense. Farris, Jason Kelce and Rollin Hannah rattled off three consecutive shorthanded goals in a 90-second span. The Aviators would advance into the offensive zone, but Heights repeatedly intercepted the puck, took it the other way and scored off the rush. Sycamore picked up their lone goal shortly thereafter, but the game would not be very close from that point on. Kelce scored again in the third period, then Dee Samuel tacked on a pair of his own to make it 7-1. Daley Baker won his fourth game between the pipes, stopping 19 of 20 shots, narrowly missing the shutout. Kelce finished with two goals and two assists for a season-high four points.
