It was payback time for the 91原创 Thunder and they made sure to deliver.

Two years ago, at the peewee A1 provincial box lacrosse championships, the Coquitlam Adanacs ended the Thunder鈥檚 B.C. championship hopes in the round robin.

The sting of that defeat lingered for a long time, and finally, this past weekend, 91原创 exacted revenge.

Playing at the B.C. bantam A1 provincial lacrosse championships in Burnaby, the Thunder defeated Coquitlam 5-4 in the gold medal game.

鈥淎 huge win for us; it is awesome,鈥� said 91原创 coach Tom Johnson.

Johnson has coached this particular group of players every second year since they were at the novice level.

And that loss at the peewee provincials has a lasting effect on the players.

鈥淭he whole year we had a goal to make provincials and get Coquitlam back for knocking us out two years ago,鈥� Johnson said.

鈥淎t the first practice of the year, we sat down and said we are here for one reason: to win gold at provincials.鈥�

The tournament got off to a rough start for the Thunder as they dropped their opener, 7-6 to Coquitlam.

鈥淏ut we knew we could do it,鈥� Johnson said.

91原创 bounced back to defeat Burnaby 11-5 and then defeated Ridge Meadows 5-2. They closed the round robin with a 6-3 win over Juan de Fuca and then shutout New Westminster 6-0.

In the semifinals, the Thunder doubled New Westminster 6-3 to earn a spot in the championship.

The Thunder trailed for most of the game as Coquitlam led 3-1 and 4-2 at the intermissions.

A big problem in the opening 40 minutes was penalty trouble as 91原创 was short-handed eight times.

But the penalty killers kept the damage minimal, including killing off a pair of 5-on-3 advantages.

That set the stage for an epic third period.

鈥淲e stayed disciplined and stuck to the game plan,鈥� Johnson said.

鈥淲e got lots of shots and executed the plays and played tough, hard-nosed lacrosse.鈥�

The Thunder drew a couple of power plays of their own in the third.

鈥淥ur power play has been lethal all year,鈥� Johnson said. 鈥淲e made some adjustments and we buried on two of our power plays.鈥�

91原创 scored the winning goal late in regulation.

Christian Bosa earned game MVP honours while goaltender Roman Rose was named provincial MVP.

鈥淲hen (Roman) is on, he is awesome,鈥� the coach said.

鈥淎nd our defence was 91原创enal. We have a couple of studs who are going to be amazing players at a high level one day.

鈥淭hey locked down (Coquitlam鈥檚) star players.鈥�

Caleb Peadson earned the Warrior Fair Play Award while Rose was named to the tournament all-star team.

The Thunder are:  Ryan Martel, Caleb Pearson, Carson Yamamoto, Christian Bosa, Connor Watson, Daniel Stead, Dawson Calfa, Ethan Goodman, Jesse Wellenbrink, Chase Moore,  Maximillian Joseph, Manny Dewsbury, Tyler Simonsen, Mathew Brunsch, Nathaniel Kozevnikov, Quinn McKitrick, Ryan Alcos, Hudson Shelvey, Roman Rose and Ryan Wellburn.
