King Height’s Academy (2) vs Fort Erie International Academy (8) East U18 Prep Championships
Elliot Hudon (1G, 1A) would find twine under a minute into play for Fort Erie, setting the tone for the offensive streak the Falcons would generate. Thomas Harvey (4G, 1A) would create the most for FEIA, collecting four goals and five points in the 8-2 win while Travis McDougall (4A) contributed four assists to the scoresheet. Ashton Venzon (24/26) made 24-saves in the win while King Height’s Nils Huber (55/63) posted a 55-save outing in the loss.
Mount Academy (5) vs Okanagan Hockey Ontario (2) East U17 Prep Championships
Mount Academy closed out their Pool B round robin with the kind of statement win nobody saw coming from the division’s No. 10 seed, rolling past Okanagan Hockey Ontario 5–2 in a game they controlled from the opening shift and never really let drift. Owen Dunford (1G, 1A) set the tone with a strong individual finish midway through the first, and then Mitchell Goodine (2G, 1A) took over the period, burying a power‑play strike and adding another in the final minute as Mount built a stunning 3–0 cushion against an OHO group fighting to stay alive. Cache Smith (1G, 1A) extended the lead early in the second, and even when OHO finally found life on a shorthanded rush from Joshua Moncrieff (1G), Mount had the answer: Braiden Rossiter (1G) hit the empty net to seal it before Ian Rowsell (1G) added a late consolation. The real backbone, though, was Liam Welsh (31/33), who turned aside 31 shots in one of Mount’s most composed defensive efforts of the season, helping a team that struggled all year deliver its most complete performance when the stakes were highest.
Ontario Hockey Academy Mavericks (6) vs Okanagan Hockey Ontario (2) East U18 Prep Championships
Ontario Hockey Academy delivered their most complete game of the tournament when they needed it most, knocking off Okanagan Hockey Ontario 6–2 in a Pool B matchup that flipped the group on its head and kept the everyone’s quarterfinal hopes alive. OHO struck first through Byrnell Roberts (2G), but OHA answered immediately and never stopped building, rattling off six of the next seven goals behind a wave of depth scoring: Lukas Janek (1G), Kick De Bruijn (2G), Leo Menard (1G), Dmitrii Titovskii (1G, 2A) and Colin Moses (1G) all found the sheet as the Mavericks turned quick transitions into clean finishes. Even as OHO pushed, matching OHA shot for shot at 35–35 and generating long stretches of pressure on a parade of power plays, Adam Voracek (33/35) stood tall, swallowing rebounds and freezing momentum every time the game threatened to tilt. By the third, OHA’s forecheck had worn OHO down, and De Bruijn’s second at 9:42 sealed a statement win that keeps the #11 seed in the race for one of Pool B’s two coveted quarterfinal spots.
CIH Academy (2) vs Fort Erie International Academy (6) East U17 Prep Championships
Fort Erie stamped their authority on Pool B early and never let CIH breathe, rolling to a 6–2 win that looked every bit like a #7 seed seizing control of its quarterfinal path against a CIH group still searching for traction. FEIA blitzed the opening forty minutes with a ruthless, layered attack with Vladimir Palash (2G), Xavier Couturier (2G) and Charles‑Antoine Racette (2G) each striking twice as Fort Erie turned quick entries into clean finishes and punished CIH mistakes, including two power‑play goals that stretched the gap to 6–0 by late in the second. CIH finally found life in the third, breaking through on a man‑advantage via Leon Yamaguchi (1G) before Daniel Fuchs (1G) added another, but the damage was long done. Timofey Vasilyev (30/36) battled to keep the scoreline from ballooning further, while Carter Braun (21/23) stayed steady behind a Fort Erie team that controlled pace, special teams, and every major swing. With a second straight round‑robin win, FEIA now holds a commanding grip on one of Pool B’s two coveted quarterfinal spots.
BWC Academy (3) vs RHA Winnipeg (9) U17 Prep Western Championships
RINK Winnipeg looked every bit like a desperate No. 9 seed fighting to keep its Pool A hopes alive, overwhelming No. 12 BWC Academy 9–3 in a third‑period avalanche that turned a manageable game into a full‑on rout. Markus Knaub (2G, 4A), Colton Ross (3G, 2A) and Brady Filmon (2G, 3A) formed the engine of a top line that shredded BWC’s coverage from the opening minute, Knaub scoring 36 seconds in, Ross adding a power‑play strike, and Filmon burying shorthanded to build a 3–0 cushion through forty minutes. The dam finally burst early in the third when Cole Ewonchuk (2G) made it 4–0, and from there RHAW piled on with six goals in a 14‑minute span, each rush looking more dangerous than the last as their transition game carved BWC apart. To their credit, BWC found late pushback when Nathan Da Silva (2G) and Kayden Pratt (1G, 1A) capitalized on brief windows, but the damage was long done. Miller Fettes (25/28) stayed steady behind a RINK Winnipeg group that dictated pace, shot volume, and every meaningful stretch of play, grabbing a much‑needed response win after dropping their opener.
Prairie Hockey Academy (2) vs Pacific Coast Hockey Academy (3) U15 Division II Western Championships Finals
Pacific Coast Hockey Academy (Victoria, BC) have won their first ever Canadian Sport School Hockey League (CSSHL) Western Championship with a 3-2 win over Prairie Hockey Academy (Caronport, SK) in the U15 Division II finals.
The first 15 minutes of action were a feeling out process for both teams before Baen Kernan opened the scoring for PCHA 16:23 into the game. David Osiowy would tie the game a few minutes later, scoring his fourth of the playoffs with 27 seconds left in the period.
After ending the first with a goal, Prairie would start the second with one as Keaton Bauck gave the visitors their first lead 35 seconds into the period. It would take some time but Austin Murray would even the score late in the second, as the two teams remained tied after 40.
After firing 26 shots on net at Sawyer Elke (62/64) in the second, Prairie would keep up the pressure firing 21 more in the third. However, it was Brayden Castelsky who would end the deadlock 12:33 into the third to put Pacific Coast ahead 3-2. Elke would hold strong the rest of the way and a late Prairie ‘Too Many Men’ penalty would kill any comeback attempt as Pacific Coast held on for the win.
Ontario Hockey Academy (2) vs Bishop’s College School (5) East U18 Prep Championships
Bishop’s College School tightened their grip on Pool A with a 5–2 win over Ontario Hockey Academy, a game where the top seed looked every bit like a team settling into playoff rhythm while OHA spent long stretches trying to survive BCS’s layered pressure. BCS struck twice in the first through Gavin Rusenstrom (1G, 1A) and Liam Boisclair (1G, 1A), but OHA kept themselves in it with a goal from Mathieu Boudreault (1G). The second period, though, was where the gap between a #1 seed and a #5 seed showed: Luca Stasi (1G), Bastien Michaud (1G) and Dominic Schnarr (1G, 1A) all converted on the power play as BCS turned OHA’s parade to the penalty box into a three‑goal surge that broke the game open. OHA pushed back in the third when Philip‑Antoine Gemme (1G) finally broke through, but Emerson Tebay (29/31) held firm while BCS managed the clock and the matchups. With two round‑robin wins in two days, Bishop’s looks every bit like a team intent on protecting its top seed, while OHA leaves this one knowing special teams and early swings defined a game that never quite tilted back their way.
Ontario Hockey Academy (3) vs Stanstead College (0) East U17 Prep Championships
Ontario Hockey Academy delivered one of the shocks of Pool A, blanking No. 2‑seed Stanstead 3–0 in a game where efficiency, special teams, and a goaltending clinic flipped the script on a matchup that looked lopsided on paper. Stanstead carried long stretches of possession and piled up 36 shots, but OHA struck twice on the power play in the second, first through Alexy Garneau (1G) on a clean point look, then Mykyta Staskevych (2G) ripping home another man‑advantage finish to give OHA a cushion they refused to surrender. Stanstead pushed hard in the third, but OHA’s structure held, and Staskevych iced it with an empty‑netter in the final minutes. The story, though, was William Laplante (36/36), who turned aside everything Stanstead threw at him, anchoring a disciplined OHA group that made the most of its chances and handed one of the division’s top teams a rare shutout loss.
Mount Academy (6/OT) vs King’s Edgehill School (5) East U18 Prep Championships
Mount Academy pulled off one of the wildest wins of the round robin, outlasting King’s Edgehill 6–5 in overtime in a game that swung so violently it felt like two different matchups stitched together. The #12 seed looked untouchable through forty minutes, building a 4–1 lead on goals from Christian Belliveau (1G, 1A), Carson Webb (1G), Diego Manzo (1G) and Cohen Paul (1G, 2A), their power play humming and their forecheck forcing KES into rushed exits. But the third belonged entirely to King’s Edgehill: Jagger Hann (1G), Kasper Kossila (1G), Jack Warren (1G) and Alex Doyle (1G, 1A) led a four‑goal avalanche that erased the deficit and flipped momentum so sharply that Mount looked stunned just trying to hang on. Somehow, they did, and in overtime it was Nathaniel St. Pierre Maltais (1G, 1A) who settled it at 2:20, burying the winner to cap a chaotic, season‑shaping night. With back‑to‑back wins, Mount now controls the second quarterfinal spot in Pool B.
Coeur d’Alene Hockey Academy (1) vs Pacific Coast Hockey Academy (6) U17 Prep Division II Western Championships
Pacific Coast opened their Division II run like a confident No. 3 seed with a 6–1 win that steadily squeezed the life out of No. 6 Coeur d’Alene, a game that started evenly enough before PCHA’s top line and special teams turned it into a clinic. Collin Lee (2G, 2A) set the tone with the opener, but it was the second period where the ice really tilted with Ethan Parsons (1G) and Owen Hyde (2G, 2A) striking eight minutes apart, Hyde’s power‑play finish pushing PCHA into full control. CDA briefly stayed afloat thanks to Hudson Saltarella (1G), but every penalty they took fed Pacific Coast’s momentum, and the third period became a runaway: Foster Armstrong (1G) buried shorthanded, Hyde added his second, and Lee capped the night on the man‑advantage as PCHA’s forecheck and puck movement overwhelmed a CDA group stuck chasing the game. Jackson Wagner (39/45) battled under heavy fire, but Rio Manhas (23/24) had the quieter night behind a Pacific Coast team that dictated pace, possession, and every meaningful stretch of their championship opener.
OHA Edmonton (2) vs Delta Hockey Academy Black (6) U15 Western Championships Finals
Delta Hockey Academy Black (Delta, BC) have won their fourth Canadian Sport School Hockey League (CSSHL) U15 Division I Western Championship after defeating OHA Edmonton (Edmonton, AB) 6-2.
It was the visitors who would lead after 20 as defenseman Ben Miller beat Holter Karpiak (28/30) with a point shot on the power play 7:39 in.
Delta Black would ramp up the intensity in the second with Zach Giles (1G, 1A) tying the game 7:02 into the period. Kevin Goodale would give them the lead with a power play goal 1:52 later on a seeing eye point shot that found the back of the net on Brynley Nault (36/41). Delta Black would take a two-goal lead into the break as Stefano Trentalance fired home a pack door pass exactly 10 minutes after Goodale had put them ahead.
OHA Edmonton showed signs of life early in the third as Marek Fetter scored 51 seconds in to make it a one goal game. But Minseo Song restored the two-goal lead less than four minutes later as he buried a rebound off a perfectly placed pass off the pad by Lukas Kravcak. Dean Jones would add his second of the playoffs a few minutes later as Delta Black began to pull away with 11:13 remaining.
Bentley Gillis would add an empty netter with 3:42 left before the visitors would run into penalty trouble, securing the 6-2 Delta Black victory.
Rothesay Netherwood School (2) vs Bourget College (3/SO) East U18 Prep Championships
Bourget survived a late Rothesay Netherwood push and a tense shootout to take a 3–2 win, a result that keeps the #2 seed firmly on track in Pool A while leaving RNS, the pool’s #6 seed, still searching for their first breakthrough of the round robin. Bourget looked fully in control early, striking twice in the first through Christophe Potvin (1G) and Keifer Pion‑Robin (1G) as their pace and forecheck forced RNS onto their heels. But the game tightened dramatically from there: Gavin Smith (1G) cut the deficit just 52 seconds into the second, and Drew Moores (1G) buried the equalizer late in the third off a clean setup from Kilian Alves Pereira (1A), flipping momentum and dragging the matchup into overtime. Neither side blinked in the extra frame, and the shootout became the separator. Will McMullen scored for RNS, but Grayden Bath and Potvin answered for Bourget, sealing a win built on Jakob Cyr’s steady 24‑save night. For Bourget, it’s a gritty two‑point result that positions them close to the top of the pool but fall short because of the point they left on the table today.
Selwyn House School (2) vs Kuper Academy (6) East U17 Prep Championships
Kuper Academy kept their great season rolling with a 6–2 win over Selwyn House, a Pool A matchup that tilted their way early and never really swung back despite a spirited SHS push. Selwyn actually opened the scoring on a power‑play finish from Aadi Patel (1G), but Kuper’s depth answered in rapid‑fire fashion with Julius Mollica (2G, 1A), Angelo Jr Colletti (1G), and Thomas Issa (2G) combining for three goals in a five‑minute stretch to seize control of the first period. Issa struck again early in the second before Mollica added his second to build a 5–1 cushion, and although Michael Paliotti (1G) gave Selwyn a brief spark in the third, Kuper’s forecheck and transition game kept the ice tilted. Massimo Guerrera (1G, 1A) capped the night, while Matteo Valluzzi (19/21) stayed steady behind a group that dictated pace throughout. Francis Paradis (27/33) battled under heavy pressure, but Kuper’s top‑seed form and relentless depth made the difference in a rivalry‑tinged matchup that never felt in doubt once they found their stride.
Edge School (4/SO) vs Delta Hockey Academy (3) U17 Prep Western Championships
Textbook definition of a back-and-forth affair between Edge School and Delta Hockey Academy this afternoon. Evan Lynch would strike first for Edge before Casey Pearson knotted things up for Delta. In the second, Rylan Saunders (1G, 1A) would once again restore Edge’s advantage before Ethan Kitchen got things back to 2-2. The script would flip a smidge in the third as Delta’s Brady Cyr (1G, 1A) opened the scoring this time. However, less than a minute later Ryder Johnsen would tie things back up for Edge. The 3-3 score would last through 60 minutes, forcing overtime and an eventual shootout. No one was able to break the ice in the first three rounds, leading into the fourth where Saunders would rifle one post-and-in to give Edge School the upper hand. Last up to bat was Eli Vickers (2A), but his backhand would drift just wide, giving Edge School the upset over the first seeded team in the division and an all important win to potentially advance into the playoff section of the U17 Prep Western Championships.
North Shore Warriors (1) vs Pilot Mound Hockey Academy (5) U17 Prep Division II Western Championships
The North Shore Warriors and Pilot Mound Hockey Academy didn’t play one head-to-head matchup in the regular season, with the two teams finishing just two seeds apart from the regular season standings. Both teams came in looking to bounce back from losses in their openers, and both would score in the first minute, with Adam Zamecnik (1G, 1A) seeing his opening goal pegged back by a Laine Kauffman equalizer. The special teams for PMHA ended up pulling through in this one, starting with their powerplay, which grabbed a second-period goal from Xianen Evans (1G, 2A) to reestablish their lead. From there, credit is due to the Buffaloes’ penalty kill, who held North Shore without a powerplay goal in eight total opportunities. Furthermore, they’d strike shorthanded, with Christian Caby’s (1G, 2A) shorthanded goal adding to a pair from Maddox Ramage (2G) to see PMHA to a 5-1 win.
Northern Alberta Xtreme (6/OT) vs Yale Hockey Academy (5) U17 Prep Western Championships
Both NAX and Yale came into Thursday’s clash off a loss in their opener, with NAX earning a point from their overtime loss to STAR and North Shore still in the market for their first win of the playoffs. Yale and NAX didn’t meet head-to-head in the regular season, and in Thursday’s game, it looked like Yale was primed to run away with things. Eddie Kemp, Matteo Zenone (1G, 1A), and Daniel Harvard (1G, 1A) all scored before even four minutes had elapsed in the first period, helping their team sprint out to a 3-0 lead. NAX fought back, cutting the lead to two goals twice, but both times, Yale responded themselves. With two minutes left in the second, Yale led 5-2, but Channon Fummerton (1G, 1A) seized an opportunity late to make it 5-3. Another goal would follow quickly, but this time, it was NAX rather than Yale to follow up. Kellen Schmidt (1G, 1A) scored with 47 seconds left to make it 5-4, priming NAX to start the third on the front foot. Kayton Reinders scored the only goal of the third period to send the game into overtime, where on a two-on-one break, Seth Kshyk fired home a perfect wrist shot to complete the Northern Alberta comeback and give them a huge overtime victory.
Ulysse Academie (5) vs Stanstead College (3) East U18 Prep Championships
Stanstead would take advantage of a Ulysse slashing penalty 16 seconds into the game as defenseman Dylan Orr scored on the power play 1:38 in. Maxime Bonin (1G, 1A) would double the Stanstead goal total just a few minutes later as the home side looked to run away with it. Sam-Felix Poulin (2G, 1A) would get Ulysse on the board and within one midway through the first, setting up a dominant second period for the hosts. Liam Dassylva and Zachary Landry would score power play goals before Marc-Antoine Daigle scored 34 seconds later to give Ulysse a 4-2 lead after 40. Poulin would extend that lead midway through the third, but Stanstead wouldn’t go away quietly as Sean Dwyer countered just 23 seconds later. Samuel Bourgoin (35/38) ultimately shut the door the rest of the way as Ulysse earned a 5-3 win
Bishop’s College School vs Lower Canada College East U17 Prep Championships
Teo Lamarche opened the scoring 5:46 in as Bishop’s grabbed an early lead. Matej Strapina (1G, 1A) would extend that lead 10 minutes later but David Fellen (1G, 1A) got Lower Canada College on the board just five seconds later. Alessandro Golemme (2G) would tie the game 3:27 into the second and Dylan Hansen-Leveille (1G, 1A) would put LCC ahead a few minutes later. Jan Hanzlik (1G, 2A) countered for Bishop’s, tying the game heading into the final period. In the third LCC would strike first as Harry Miller (1G, 1A) scored a shorthanded marker. Bishop’s would get their special team’s revenge as Marc-Antoine Larochelle scored on the power play a few minutes later. Ultimately, LCC would grab the win as Golemme scored the game winning goal midway through the period. Jona Erickson (20/24) and Dax Doiron (24/29) were in net for their respective teams.
Okanagan Hockey Academy (3) vs STAR Hockey Academy (1) U17 Prep Western Championships
STAR bested the Okanagan Hockey Academy 3-2 in overtime in their only regular season clash and came into Thursday’s game riding the high of a dramatic victory over NAX in their Western Championships opener. OHA, likewise, won their first, 6-2 over Yale, and would be the side to start on the front foot. Nathan Marques (2G) needed just 21 seconds to open the scoring to give OHA the early lead, but from there, the scoring halted. Tyson Kuiack (26/27) in the OHA crease and Griffin Fair (27/29) in between the pipes for STAR were both excellent, stalling the game at 1-0 for over forty minutes of gameplay. However, early in the third period, OHA finally broke through again, with Marques scoring his second of the game to double the lead. That score held until late, but with an extra attacker on the ice, STAR struck back, with Cam Hoggan making it 2-1. STAR pulled the goalie again, but this time, it was OHA to make good on that maneuver. On a breakaway and staring down the empty net, Cole Schellenberg had his stick slashed out of his hand by a back checker, giving Schellenberg the rarely seen empty net goal awarded by penalty.
Notre Dame Hounds (4) vs Shawnigan Lake School (9) U17 Prep Division II Western Championships
Despite the loss, the Notre Dame Hounds picked up a point against the Pacific Coast Hockey Academy on Wednesday, contrary to Shawnigan’s game, which yielded them a more positive result in the form of a 5-0 win over North Shore. Shawnigan clearly didn’t take their foot off the gas, taking their offensive prowess from Wednesday into Thursday, with Carson Peet (3G, 2A) and Terran Johal both scoring in the first 50 seconds of the game. Peet would score again before the first period was over, and Shawnigan would add three more in the second to take a commanding 6-1 lead into the third. An explosion of offence from the Hounds early in the third would have no doubt given Shawnigan a scare, with the Hounds getting the score back to 6-4 with three goals off their own, Shawnigan added a few late to ensure a 9-4 win.
Calgary International Hockey Academy (4) vs RINK Hockey Academy Kelowna (3) U17 Prep Western Championships
CIHA knocked off the defending U17 Prep Champions Thursday in a tightly contested 4-3 win. RHA Kelowna led 2-0 early in the second after getting goals from Cole Hamakawa (1G, 1A) and Baden Glithero. Max Ranseth (2G, 1A) would get CIHA on the board midway through the frame and Tomas Figura (1G, 2A) levelled the score with a power play marker 1:07 later. Jack Leslie and Ranseth then traded power play goals 58 seconds apart as it was a 3-3 game heading into the third. Special teams continued to play a factor in the third as CIHA killed off two penalties while Rylan Wood (1G, 2A) scored a late power play marker to lift them to the 4-3 win. Colton Lutz (46/49) and Matthew Palmer (44/48) were in net for their respective teams.
Prairie Hockey Academy (3) vs South Alberta Hockey Academy (4) U17 Prep Western Championships
After falling to CIHA in a shootout yesterday, SAHA bounced back with a 4-3 win over Prairie today. Briggs Fabro (2G, 1A) and Owen Fisher scored first period goals as SAHA led 2-0 after 20. Liam Green (1G, 2A) extended the lead 4:38 into the second as he scored a power play goal, his first of the playoffs. Bryden Wagner (1G, 1A) got Prairie on the board with a power play goal of his own 4:19 later, and Kashton Smith made it a one goal game a few minutes after that. Fabro doubled the SAHA lead early in the third, though Prairie wouldn’t go away quietly as Ryley Lessard brought his team back within one with seven minutes left to play. Paxton Smigelski (26/29) shut the door for the remainder of the game as SAHA held on for the win.
Wenatchee Wild Hockey Academy (1) vs St. George’s School (8) U17 Prep Division II Western Championships
St. George’s outshot Wenatchee 51-18 en route to an 8-1 win Thursday night. Adam Benn (1G, 2A), Sammy Hoeft (3A), defenseman Tarik Lammam (1G, 2A) and Logan Okamura (2G, 1A) led the way with three points each while Mathias Dishneau (17/18) made 17 saves, recorded an assist, and took a penalty in net for the win. Myles Hogan scored the lone Wenatchee goal in the loss.
Indigenous Sports Academy (0) vs OHA Edmonton (2) U17 Prep Division II Western Championships
Owen Amyotte (36/36) made 36 saves to earn the shutout and propel OHA Edmonton to first in Pool A ahead of tomorrow’s quarter-final matchups. Clark Schneider scored on the power play just 1:58 into the game to give OHA Edmonton a 1-0 lead. Amyotte and Holden Fauchon (44/46) would keep clean sheets in the second as it remained a 1-0 game into the third. Kaysun Brunham doubled the OHA Edmonton lead with another power play goal, this time midway through the third. OHA Edmonton would close things out from their to earn the 2-0 win.
