Mike Busniuk’s debut behind the Lakehead Thunderwolves bench was not a winning one.

Chris Behenna scored the tying goal at 17:29 of the third period and then popped home the game-winner just 25 seconds into overtime, leading the Waterloo Warriors to a 5-4 home-ice win on Friday night.

Matt Caria, Adam Sergerie, Mike MacDonald and Trevor Gamache, who gave the Wolves the lead 6:47 into the third, scored for Lakehead. Justin Larson, Joe Underwood and Kirt Hill were Waterloo’s other goal scorers.

The loss comes slightly more than 24 hours after the Wolves relieved coach Joel Scherban of his duties, a move made necessary when players gave team officials an ultimatum that left the team no choice but to fire the coach.

The loss drops firs place LU’s record to 3-1-1, while Waterloo improved to 2-1-0. Lakehead takes on last place Laurier (0-2-1) on Saturday, returning home next weekend to face archrival Western.

I will no longer attend Wolves games after the players caused this "mutiny" this week and got their coach fired. The whole group are nothing but a bunch of spoiled and selfish players. It's good thing that most of their hockey careers will be over in the next few years anyways.

These generation "Y" players make my blood boil with their deeply embedded sense narcissism and sense of entitlement. Respect your coach. It's a privilege to play for a team not a right. It's selfish and totally destructive to the reputation of Thunderwolves hockey. Joel's knowledge of hockey is exceptional! He has always been a successful player and coach. Who wouldn't want him as a coach and or role model, he is damn near perfect person for the job, highly respected by former players, coaches and public. The board wouldn't have signed him for many more years if they didn't feel he was doing his job. Its a shame and a huge loss for the program. I hope Tom gets rid of these players next season and starts from scratch to build a team that is respectful of the opportunities given to them by the Thunderwolves hockey program. I will no longer attend this seasons games in support of Joel. What happened is just wrong any way you look at it and doesn't send a good message to future players

Well, lonewolf9, you don't know the whole story. You don't know what the issues were and to make statements like that, you are not a fan so stay home. Who cares?
