In 1987, Mount St Charles defeated Bishop Hendricken in the *fifth*
game to win their *best-of-three* series for the Rhode Island state
championship.
!
You see, the teams split the first two games, then the third game was
tied for a number of overtimes and rules called for a new game to be
played the next day, rather then continuing the overtimes. Well, *that*
game was also tied and the teams played several overtimes before the game
was stopped again. Mount finally won Game 5 to win the series and
continue their string of RI state titles, which was up to 11 in 1990;
I don't know if they won again this season. They've sent a number of
players to the NHL and to college.
Considering the teams played at least two games' worth in each of games 3
and 4, from what I recall, and that in effect it took 5 games worth of
hockey to decide game 3, I'd say the 1987 RI Championship ranks right up
there among long long games. There's also this from the list archives:
