Stacey one-timed a Nicole Kosta feed past Noora Raty with 2:11 remaining in overtime as the Markham Thunder edged the Kunlun Red Star 2-1 to capture the CWHL championship. “I definitely had that OT-shootout kind of picture in my head, and I really really didn’t want to go back to what happened a couple weeks ago,” said Stacey. “Maybe next time they can do it a little bit different.”Sunday marked the third trip to the Clarkson Cup for the Thunder franchise. The Thunder, who relocated from Brampton to Markham for this season, upset 2017 Clarkson Cup champion Montreal sweeping their best-of-three semi-final. The Red Star needed triple overtime in the third and deciding game to dispatch the Calgary Inferno and earn a berth in Sunday’s final.
