In the final frame, PHA would take the edge in shots. However, Ryker Doka’s (1G, 2A) shot from the point would make it past a screened Luke Ratzlaff (21/23) to put Notre Dame ahead with less than eight minutes remaining.

OHA Edmonton (5) vs South Alberta Hockey Academy (8) U17 Prep

SAHA ran an offensive clinic on Saturday en route to victory over OHA Edmonton. Only four SAHA skaters were left off of the scoresheet.

Just over two minutes later, Kaius Millan netted his eighth of the season to double his academy’s lead. Logan Okamura (1G, 1A) would put St. George’s on the board with a far side wrister after stripping away the puck from Otis Jacques (1G, 1A). Cole Morley restored RHA Kelowna’s lead but Tarik Lammam cut the deficit back to one just before the period closed. St. George’s would see a crucial powerplay opportunity in the third, however they couldn’t get another past Dylan Mingo (23/25) who would go on to steer away the rest of their shots, picking up the victory in the process.

St. George’s School (2) vs Pacific Coast Hockey Academy (3) U18 Prep

After quickly going up by a pair off of a flukey goal and a snipe from the hash marks, St. George’s was in position to take control of this contest. However, PCHA would alter St. George’s gameplan after Jordan Ramsay (2G) found the back of the net with only 8-seconds left in the first period on a great solo effort. In the second, much like Ramsay, Kansys Seney would pull off a strong solo play, following up on his rebound to tie things up halfway through the period. Later in the frame, Ramsay would strike again after gently strolling into the slot off of a light dish from Noah Kosick (2A). In the final frame, Koen Cleaver (33/35) managed to steal the game for PCHA stopping all 11-shots faced in the period. St. George’s had an opportunity to tie the match late off of a misread from Cleaver, but luck was in the home team’s favour as the puck was shovelled just wide. 

BWC Academy White (3) vs North Shore Warriors Orange (1) U17 Prep

After Brandon Burns and Finley Reed scored just 39-seconds apart for BWC Academy White and NSW Orange respectively, the scoring would take a pause. It wasn’t until late in the third where Nic Collins (2G) would strike not once, but twice, to grant the win for BWC Academy White. Only 19-seconds had elapsed between Collins two goals.

CIH Academy Green U18 (3) vs Ontario Hockey Academy Gold (1) Eastern U18

A strong first period set the tone for CIH Academy Green as Colin Leeb and Lukas Plank opened the scoring. Neil Iserhoff (1G, 1A) would add another to CIH Academy Green’s total halfway through the second frame, but was quickly matched by OHA Gold’s Mitchell Quesnel. From this point onward, goaltending was story of the game. Hakon Eskeland (37/40) would stand on his head for the final half of the game, giving his academy a fighting chance at a comeback. However, the solid goaltending from Matis Bureau-Morel (29/30) kept CIH Academy Green ahead and allowed them to steadily cruise to victory.

Shawnigan Lake School (0) vs St. George’s School (5) U17 Prep

Right off of the faceoff dot, Sam Auld (2G, 1A) wired home the game’s opening tally and put St. George’s in the driver seat. Into the second, the would be followed up by another four unanswered in only 5:31. Minsuk Hou opened up this scoring chain on the powerplay and was quickly followed by Auld with his second and two breakaway goals from Victoria Royals prospect, Harshaan Kaila (2G), who had freshly came off of a stint with the U18 Prep team. In goal, the 2009-born Cash Christie (27/27) turned all 27-shots aside to record a shutout in his U17 Prep debut. 

STAR Hockey Academy (2) vs Okanagan Hockey Academy (4) U15

OHA got off on the right foot early on after Adam Molinaro (2G, 1A) wired home his then 16th of the season. Shortly after, STAR’s Ronin Brunner (1G, 1A)  would score the equalizer in close on a powerplay. Daniel Makovetskiy would give STAR their first lead of the match with a shortside snipe. However, OHA began to push after surrendering the go ahead goal. Erik Sims (37/41) turned aside 19 of OHA’s shots in the second. Nearly perfect, as Molinaro managed to get one back for OHA with 21-seconds on the clock. OHA would continue their press in the third, being rewarded with a four minute powerplay halfway through. On this man advantage, Caiden Osiowy-Mah (1G, 2A) deflected home the go ahead goal to put OHA ahead. This was followed up shortly after with yet another poweprlay marker from Cole Schellenberg, cementing their eventual victory over the Seattle based academy.

Okanagan Hockey Academy Black (0) vs Shawnigan Lake School (12) Female U18 Prep

In their second matchup of the day, Shawnigan Lake continued their offensive dominance over OHA Black. Morgan Jackson (2G, 3A) eclipsed the 100-point mark in her CSSHL career with her opening goal 46-seconds in, while Zoe Cramer (1G, 4A) reached the 50-point plateau off of an assist late in the third. The two both recorded five-point efforts while Taya Lonsdale (2G, 2A) provided four-points from the backend. Alexandra Nelson (6/6) was credited with the win and her third shutout of the campaign.

BWC Academy (5/OT) vs North Shore Warriors (4) U18 Prep

BWC Academy took early control on NSW’s home ice, scoring three unanswered within the first 40-minutes of play. However, come the third, NSW would flip the switch. Deacon Drummond (2G, 1A) and Avery Hewson scored just 45-seconds apart less than two minutes into the period. Fast forward to the midway point of the frame and NSW would score another quick bunch of goals, once again with one off of the stick of Drummond while the other was put home by Nicholas Morin. With less than thirty seconds remaining and the goalie pulled, BWC Academy was pressing with all of their might and were rewarded a deflection in front off of Ryan Harris (2G) to give them a chance in overtime. In the extra frame, an arrant NSW shot would blister around the boards, sending Colton Gerrior on to the breakaway where he would put one over the glove of Erik Powers to wrap up the late comeback and our Saturday of CSSHL hockey.
