Less than a day after a 6-2 loss to Kuper Academy, Stanstead College got its rematch with a 9:30 a.m. puck drop and earned the split in a shootout. Kuper picked up where it left off. Emile Fortin (1G) scored 2:18 in, set up by Julius Mollica (1A) and Gavyn Thomas (1A).

Okanagan Hockey Academy (3) vs Prairie Hockey Academy (2) U17
Two seconds. That’s how long Okanagan Hockey Academy’s third-period power play lasted before it erased the last of a two-goal deficit. Prairie Hockey Academy controlled the early going. Ty Gleim (1G) scored off a feed from Bryce Scrupps (1A) in the opening minutes, and Dallin Mitchell (1G) added a power-play goal just past the four-minute mark, set up by David Osiowy (1A) and Rhett Benaschak (1A). Liam Pratt (1G) was in the box for that second goal, and the OHA blueliner made up for it in the middle frame, scoring his first of the season with Ewen Roll (1A) and Sequoia Antoine (2A) on the helpers. Then a holding call at 2:13 of the third swung the game. Cayden Rainford (1G) tied it right away, with Drake Baker (1A) and Antoine (2A) setting him up. Owen Magness (1G) scored the winner unassisted at 9:41, and Prairie never found an answer.
STAR Hockey Academy (7) vs Indigenous Sports Academy (1) U17

RINK Hockey Academy Winnipeg (5) vs Edge School (3) U15
Same score, different winner. A day after losing 5-3 at Edge School, RINK Hockey Academy Winnipeg won the rematch by the same count, with Liam Grawberger (3G) scoring his team’s first, second and last goals. His power-play opener held up until Levi Pomeroy (1G) tied it for Edge 21 seconds into the second. Grawberger (3G) put the visitors back in front before the period was seven minutes old. Jackson Klippenstein (1G) and Adrian Sinclair (1G, 2A) then scored unassisted goals for a 4-1 lead.

Cole Mitchell (2G) scored on a first-period power play, with Ethan Field (1A) and Quinn Herman (2A) assisting. Two minutes later, Filip Flock (1G) added another with the extra man, off feeds from Zeno Seipert (1G, 1A) and Liam McLean (1A). Liam McLean (1G) replied on a St. George’s power play.

Nolan Ryan (1G) and Vaughn Livadney (1G, 1A) scored once each, and Ryder Fiddler (2G, 1A) scored twice. The day before, ISA had beaten the same opponent 3-2.
Delta Hockey Academy Green (18) vs North Shore Warriors Orange (0) Women’s U18 Prep
Three hat-tricks in one game is rare, and Delta Hockey Academy Green got all three. Emma Biros (3G, 4A) and Adie Schneider (3G, 6A) scored 13 seconds apart early in the first. Samera Gabriel (3G, 1A) added two of her own before the eight-minute mark, and it was 6-0 at the first intermission.

Gabriel (3G, 1A) completed her hat-trick in the middle of that run, and Biros (3G, 4A) and Schneider (3G, 6A) finished theirs in the third.

Three minutes later, defenceman Piper Dupuis (1G) tied it on an OHA power play, from Kaitlyn Harvey (2A) and Meagan Zalaski (1A). Addison Guertin had allowed just that one goal on 24 shots.

Pacific Coast Hockey Academy (3) vs Northern Alberta Xtreme (4/OT) U17
If you only caught the last five minutes of regulation, you still saw most of the story. Gage Genereux (47/50) had carried Northern Alberta Xtreme to that point against a Pacific Coast attack that finished with a 50-34 shot edge. NAX led 3-1 on goals from Colby Crone (2G), Landon Russell (1G, 1A) and Reed Fellows (1G). Then PCHA scored twice in 80 seconds.

Luke Turner (1G) opened the scoring at 8:22 off a feed from Oliver Peck (1A). A little over two minutes later, Reed Witham (1G) made it 2-0, with Connor Groves (1A) and defenceman Nixon Bahr (1A) assisting.

Dawson Brewer (35/40) kept it 3-3 deep into the third, with LCC outshooting OHA 40-22 on the day. Fyfe (1G, 2A) finally broke the tie at 16:37. Two minutes later, Miller (3G) completed the hat-trick on the power play, with Fyfe (1G, 2A) and Gino Giordani (2A) assisting. It was his 10th goal of the season.

BWC Academy (3/SO) vs St. George’s School (2) U15 Prep
Tyler Rydberg faced 44 shots and only two got past him, which was enough to carry BWC Academy to a shootout win in a penalty-filled game. Donivan Cominetti (1G) gave BWC the lead with a minute left in the first, set up by defenceman Ashton Lupul (1A). Michael Sung (1G) tied it on a St. George’s power play early in the second, with Josh Marsh (1A) assisting.

In the shootout, Shoucair (1A) and Noah Yoo both scored for BWC, and only Marsh (1A) beat Rydberg for SGS. BWC had also won the first meeting, 4-2 on Oct. 4, so it has now won both games against St. George’s this season.
BWC Academy (13) vs North Shore Warriors (0) U15
Samuel Roberge faced 68 shots in the North Shore Warriors net, and the 55 he stopped deserve a mention before the 13 that went in.

Brandon Christian (4G) did the most damage from there, scoring late in the first and three more times in the second. Isaiah Abdulla (2G, 2A) and Joseph Ferone (1G, 3A) each finished with four points.
