Omaha Maverick Hockey junior forward Jacob Slipec netted the #4 play in the NCHC Top 5 Plays of the Week – Oct. 16, 2024. Slipec’s goal came at a critical juncture against UMass at the 2024 Ice Breaker Tournament in Las Vegas on Oct. 11. The Mavs and Minutemen were tied 1-1 in the latter stages of the third period. The native of White Rock, British Columbia, netted the go-ahead goal 16:56 into the third period, doing a little “shake-n-bake” move to maneuver to the high slot. He fired the puck past UMass goalie Michael Hrabal. The goal put UNO up 2-1. The Mavs went on to win the game 3-2 in overtime. >> Slipec’s performance during the 2024 Ice Breaker Tournament is also discussed on this week’s episode of the #mavpuckcast — click here to view this week’s episode.
