Trailer

In this episode, the Pioneers are going after a third consecutive National Championship. Once again the evil Cheetahs of Colorado College and stand between the Pioneers and their rightful spot in the NCAA Tournament. The evil wizard Scottie Owens has seen his forces decimated by a cheating scandal that threatened to envelope the entire team. Luckily Slattengren was sacrificed and the two High Flying Hobey Hobbits were spared.

Meanwhile the Lord of the Springs (pictured above) has gone down to the World Arena which he will soon besiege. But first he meets with the WCHA Warlord, Bruce MacCloud to make sure that there is no "funny business" with the referees like last week.

The Pioneer Riders, armed with their potent Power Play, ready to battle the evil little Cheetah Hobbits. Led by Stastny, Carle and Gauthier, the Pioneer Riders sweep across the battlefield and prepare to vanquish the Cheetahs. In an epic battle Paukovich, Cook, Handza, May and Thomas do most of the dirty work while Corbin and Dingle speed around the Cheetah defensive perimeter.

.

Inside the arena, Scottie Owens descends into madness as he watches the plight of his team and the deadly choking of his goaltender, the "Great Sieve" Matt Zaba. Convinced that all is lost, Owens orders Zaba’s body carried into the mausoleum, where he plans to burn himself and his goaltender alive.

Meanwhile during the battle, Coach Gwozdecky has taken a puck to the noggin and appears to be motally wounded, until he suddenly recovers. The ability to heal and to lead undermanned forces to victory is a sign of the True King.

.

Just when the battle appears lost for the Pioneers, Butler, Veideman, Fast & Testwieude are rescued by giant red-tailed hawks from the slopes of the Rocky Mountains, and the DU team doctors tend to their injuries. The college hockey world hails them as heroes for once again destroying Colorado College's season. Coach Gwozdecky retains the throne as college hockey's top coach and DU wins another National Championship completing the Trilogy.
