TAOS HIGH SCHOOL ICE TIGERS 2008-2009 STATE CHAMPIONS!!!!
The "TAOS MIRACLE ON ICE".

The Taos High School Ice Tigers won the New Mexico High School State Championship this past weekend in Santa Fe with two amazing victories. Tremendous team play and outstanding goaltending by Junior Joseph Jagers and senior Johnny Laycock were instrumental in the victories.

The Ice Tigers won their way into the Final 4 with a late season surge by winning big games against some of the State's top teams.

In the first game of the State semi final, Taos Ice Tigers were seeded #4 and faced the #1 seeded Los Alamos Hilltoppers. Los Alamos had not lost a game all season in League play, and their undefeated season was the result of dominant performances by a team loaded with graduating seniors. Earlier in the season, they beat the Ice Tigers badly when the Tigers were without their goalies. Taos has only 2 graduating seniors on the team, and is playing a lot of underclassmen. In an amazing performance from start to finish, Taos won the game in dramatic fashion when their senior Captain Magnus Nelson scored a breakaway goal with 6.4 seconds left in the game.

The Ice Tigers faced the 3 time defending State Champion Rio Rancho Rams in the Championship game Sunday morning. Four years ago Rio Rancho defeated Taos in the State Championship game to begin their current string of 3 State Championships with only 3 seconds to go in the game.

In the second major upset in a row, the young Taos Ice Tigers won the State Championship 4-2 on an empty net goal by Magnus Nelson. The Rio Rancho team pulled their goalie late in the 3rd period to begin the final onslaught against the Ice Tigers playing 6 men against 5, and the Taos team played tremendous team defense to help save the game. The late goal from Magnus Nelson resulted when he shot the puck the entire length of the ice to find the empty Rio Rancho net.
