The regular season finale was the second 8-7 OT game in school history. Old-timers may remember the first, which was also the last game of a very successful regular season and also featured a late third period comeback.
In 2025, Boden Sampair became the first Pioneer to record 70 points in a season since Jake Guentzel in 2012. Boden and Landon are the sixth and seventh Sampairs to play varsity hockey, tied with Regan for the second most common last name all-time, after Johnson.
