After a quiet start to the first, Seven Xie (2G) would wire home a powerplay goal to give Delta White the go-ahead through twenty.

RHA Kelowna would flip the script early in the third after Luke Turner cashed in on a Delta White error only 11-seconds into play. However, Delta White would keep the pressure going. Xie would score his second in identical fashion to his first while Cruz Natt cashed in Delta White’s fourth.

Despite the evenly-played game, OHA Edmonton held a 4-0 stranglehold late into the second period, and PCHA’s pushback fell short.

Oliver Boniface made 53 saves on 56 shots for PCHA, and despite a pair of late goals from OHAE, led his team to the win.

North Shore Warriors vs Yale Hockey Academy U17 Prep
The North Shore Warriors’ U17 Prep team showed up to play in the first period of play. They outshot Yale Hockey Academy 22-11 in the first and took a 2-1 lead, but from there, Yale took over and dominated. YHA outshot North Shore 49-12 in the second and third periods combined, and while North Shore made good on their limited chances with a pair of goals over that stretch, Yale’s offence came to life late in the second.
