Story | Boxscore | Bracket
Ann Arbor Pioneer's Niko Michos provided the game-winning goal halfway through the second period to improve the Pioneers to 19-7-1.
Anthony Moran and Louis Marr recorded the assists on the scoring play.
Karl Gage made 12 saves to record the shutout victory.
"We dominated the flow of the game, and I thought we played one of our better games of the season," Pioneer coach Paul Fassbender said. "They play an excellent system as far as defense, and they blocked a lot of shots on us.
Ethan Hiltner made 40 saves to lead Ann Arbor Skyline (12-15).
Pioneer will play Pinckney (13-12-2) at 3 p.m. Saturday at the Arctic Coliseum.
"We played them earlier this season, and it was a very tight game," Fassbender said. "It was an even game, we won 6-3, but they are a solid team. They aren't going to just throw people in front of the net, and hope we don't score. They are going to be aggressive, and make us work for every shot."

I'm really sad that there is so little written about the great high school hockey being played right now in our own backyard. Wrestling and basketball are great sports but teams like Chelsea and Pioneer are doing some amazing things right now on the ice. And you can't find it without scrolling through pages of articles about every other HS sport in the county. Maybe. A tweet about Chelsea's amazing three game heart attack series is all we see? We're proud of these kids and they did a great job playing hard and clean against an Allen Park team that was out for blood during and after the game. Both Chelsea and Pioneer captured regional championships last night and they are proud. And nobody knows except the people involved.

I agree! I was very disappointed this morning to find nothing about high school hockey. Chelsea and Pioneer are each in the last 8 teams in their division to be playing this season. I just read an article about how Washtenaw County would be represented in boys basketball, guess what AnnArbor.com, Chelsea and Pioneer are doing a great job representing the county. Try to give them some coverage!!! You may want to correct the divisions in the above article, Division 3 was at Arctic Coliseum and Division 2 at the cube, Chelsea played Allen Park in the next round, not Divine Child. I like the focus on the area I live, but let's get the facts right!

My son, Alec Daman, who scored the game winner, name is spelled wrong. My son is a freshman and I am so proud of him! Go Bulldogs!!!
