Berry Mills, NB native, Bryson Robinson (4G), led the charge over Fort Erie with a four goal outing which included an even strength, powerplay and shorthanded goal.

Coeur d’Alene Hockey Academy (1) vs South Alberta Hockey Academy (5) U17 Prep

Pilot Mound would turn things around late in the third, scoring twice in the final five minutes to put them in front of Wenatchee. However, with the goalie pulled, Parker Platt (2G) would blast home a one-timer to force an overtime. In OT, Laroche would go end-to-end before elevating a backhand over Carson Fowler (29/34) to give Pilot Mound their first win of 2024 in CSSHL competition.
King Heights Academy U18 (2) vs Ulysse Academie U18 (10) Eastern U18
The duo of Simon Levesque (2G, 3A) and Jeremy Lamothe (3G, 1A) was enough to take down King Heights on Saturday morning. The two combined for 9-points while Clement Valette (4A) and Antonin Cassista (3A) chipped in a combined 7-assists in this offensive flurry.
St. George’s School (5) vs Indigenous Sports Academy (3) U17 Prep
St. George’s and ISA would trade goals quickly at the start of this match, maintaining some steady back-and-forth action. However, with 3:02 left in the frame, Harshaan Kaila would score off of a slick individual effort which would go on to spark a chain of another two goals before the period closed. Scoring would pause in the second, but ISA would show some gumption and score early on in the third with a valued effort from Courage Steinhauer-George (1G, 2A). Their comeback would be cut short after Lucas Benn (2G, 1A) added an empty netter, putting things out of reach despite an extra late goal coming from Lawson Gardipy.
Notre Dame (8) vs Wenatchee Wild Hockey Academy (4) U17 Prep

Even Sam Coster’s (65/69) performance between the pipes for Notre Dame could not go unnoticed as he steered aside 65-shots in the win over Wenatchee.
Pacific Coast Hockey Academy White (5) vs Coeur d’Alene Hockey Academy Navy (1) U17 Prep
After Aleks Ostrovskyy (2G) wired a sharp angled wrister just 1:12 into the match, we wouldn’t see scoring again until early in the third where CDA Navy’s Gavin Harty would rifle one from the hash marks to tie the game up. Shortly after, PCHA White would find their groove and find their footing after Markus Nichols (1G, 1A) lasered a shot from the right hand boards to put them back in the driver’s seat.

Okanagan Hockey Academy (4) vs North Shore Warriors (2) U18 Prep
Kamloops Blazers prospect, Hudson Closson, got OHA on the board just through the halfway point of the first after cramming home a puck in the crease, but NSW’s Dylan Ruff would make things even just under two minutes later. It would be awhile until our next tally as Ryan Tamelin (38/40) and Beckham Brossard (34/38) kept each of their nets on lockdown. Markus Ruck (1G, 2A) would eventually snap the tie with a routine snipe on a breakaway, landing the momentum in OHA’s favour before the end of the second. OHA would continue their offensive press in the third, racking up another two goals to establish a 4-1 lead. Shane Purves would taint Tamelin’s stats with a late shorthanded goal, but he still backstopped his academy to a convincing win over the volatile Warriors.

Bulgarian goaltender, Georgi Milanov (23/23) , picked up his second career CSSHL shutout on Saturday, turning aside 23-shots from a hungry RHA Kelowna Red squad.

Following a scoreless first, RHA Winnipeg’s powerplay went to work, scoring consecutively to ring up a 2-0 lead before the end of the second. However, RHA Kelowna would nab a powerplay goal for themselves after Joe Iginla tucked home a backhand in close to cut RHA Winnipeg’s lead to one. Come the third, RHA Kelowna began to pick up the pace. McCarthy Richardson (1G, 2A) finished off a passing play with Rhett Serfas. Then shortly after, Cage Smith would connect with Richardson for a shorthanded goal to give them the go ahead lead. RHA Winnipeg fought furiously in the final few minutes of play looking for an equaliser which was eventually found by Wyatt Stinton with 1:07 left on the clock. In overtime, Iginla would see a chance on a breakaway, but came up just shy. Time ticked by and Kelsen Podworny (1G, 2A) was eyeing an attack on goal from the neutral zone. Podowrny would take his space and toe drag the last defender back before ripping one past Chase Furlong (43/47) to clinch the OT winner, improving RHA Kelowna’s record to an impressive 15-1-3-1.

However, Notre Dame Red would find their footing again later in the game, potting another two in the second and another pair in the third to comfortably cruise to victory.

Edge School Maroon (1) vs Rink Hockey Academy Kelowna Black (4) U17 Prep
Dylan Cawley and Aidan Fisher (1G, 1A) were on the prowl early, putting RHA Kelowna Black up by a pair before Edge Maroon was able to establish any reasonable pressure. This trend would continue in the second as Kiran Fedun got a fortunate bounce to further extend Kelowna’s lead, which was followed up by yet another member’s bounce which found the stick of Julian Galenza. Nick Wytrychowski would put Edge Maroon on the scoreboard late in the frame with a goal of the breakaway, but that’s all the twine the puck would see for the rest of the matchup.

BWC Academy Gold pounced on to the scene with six-unanswered goals, keeping the scorekeepers busy in the first half of the match. Colton Gerrior (1G, 2A) and Christian Revel (2G, 2A) were all over the offensive end, setting up and polishing off plays left, right and centre. Noah Sinagowitz (36/39) only had to stop 7-shots in the first period alone! Brady Witkin would turn the tide halfway through the second for Fairmont, along with Cole Bieksa who scored late on the powerplay to bring their academy within four. BWC Academy Gold would keep their foot on the gas pedal in the third, collecting another two thanks to the efforts of Jonathan Lee and Kai Anderson (2G, 1A), allowing their academy to cement this much needed victory to get back on track in February.
Northern Alberta Xtreme (6) vs Shawnigan Lake School (3) U18 Prep
Daxon Rudolph (3A) nabbed three assists in his return to CSSHL competition on Saturday, even chipping in on the eventual game winner that was scored by Hunter Dingman.

Shawnigan’s forwards were gunning, but couldn’t get anything past the Sherwood Park, AB goaltender.

Edge School Gold (4) vs Pacific Coast Hockey Academy Blue (8) U17 Prep
Kesler Morrow pried open the scoring for Edge Gold halfway through the first for the lone goal in the frame. Edge Gold would stick with control for the greater part of a period and half, but nothing could prepare them for the armageddon they were about to fall victim to. PCHA Blue detonated for six-goals in the second period alone, many coming from the duo of Jed Lake (3G, 2A) and Tristan Gravenor (2G, 3A). The momentum was still swaying back and forth, but PCHA Blue could not miss the net. Braxton Becker (41/45) still put on a mighty performance, fending off 41-shots in the win while his forwards provided their potent offence. Edge Gold clawed a couple back in the third, but not enough to make up for the dent that was made in the second.
Prairie Hockey Academy (1/OT) vs St. George’s School (0) U18 Prep
It took 63:19 for this game to not only find itself a winner… but merely a goal. Gibson Horne (18/18) and Eric Tu (30/31) were both perfect through sixty, steering pucks away wherever they came from. In the end, Horne would have the last laugh, making his 18th save of the night before Daniel Helary carried the puck into St. George’s zone. After shooting far side, the rebound fell on to the stick of Ryder Rommelaere, who made no mistake burying the puck into the gaping cage and thus securing the W.
Okanagan Hockey Ontario U18 (4) vs Bourget College U18 (5) Eastern U18
Bourget College outshot OHO 55-36, but that doesn’t mean they went down without a fight. OHO nabbed the games first two tallies, Mavrick Boucher (2G, 2A) had a say on each of those. Later in the second, Bourget College’s offence would finally break past Kevin Podgurny (49/55) scoring three times in only 2:18. Jordan Laroda (2G) would even things back up shortly after for OHO, but Bourget College just kept feeding the net. Mathys Blanchette (2G, 2A) potted Bourget College’s last two goals which would go on to be the game winner and insurance marker, stunting otherwise what was a strong performance from OHO.
North Shore Warriors (5) vs Pacific Coast Hockey Academy (2) U15
In their second match in as many nights, NSW looked to improve to 2-0 over the weekend vs. PCHA. Much like Friday’s event, no one found the net after the opening twenty minutes. Deja vu would strike again as Kenzo Gibson (1G, 2A) opened the scoring for a consecutive night as well. Halfway through the third, the match was all knotted up at 2-2 before Ethan Mah broke the tie with a powerplay goal for his 10th of the season. Shortly after, Linkin Ashton (1G, 1A) would follow in suit and put the game out of reach for PCHA, helping NSW put away their provincial rivals late for the second consecutive night.

Okanagan Hockey Academy (4) vs Yale Hockey Academy (2) U15 Prep
Ollie Reid kicked off the scoring in Abbotsford to give Yale the initial lead that would carry into the second. However, OHA would change the trajectory of the match after Carson Smith (2G) potted a shorthanded goal just over three minutes into the second frame. Chace Smith would quickly take back the lead, scoring on the same Yale powerplay in which they surrendered the SH goal. Although that spark in OHA’s game never left after Smith’s goal. In fact, Smith would go on to tie things up once more with eight minutes remaining in the second. Not too long after that, Jaxson Bartsch (1G, 1A) supplied the go ahead goal to put OHA ahead at the intermission. Yale would find themselves in penalty trouble in the third, unable to sustain any lasting pressure to force a comeback. Eli Tverdovsky would pot the empty netter, ending Yale’s night on home turf.
