Delta Hockey Academy Black (2) vs Shawnigan Lake School (1) Female U18 Prep Div II Western Championships Final
After suffering defeat in the finals at the hands of Balmoral Hall School (Winnipeg, MB) at the 2025 CSSHL Female U18 Prep Division II Championships, Delta Hockey Academy Black (Delta, BC) has won the 2026 CSSHL Female U18 Prep Division II Championships.
Delta Black would lose 6-1 in the round robin to Shawnigan Lake School (Shawnigan Lake, BC) but would bounce back with a 2-1 win Tuesday.
Kiernan Ledoux would open the scoring midway through the first as she buried a rebound off an Arlie Sangha shot, that hit the shoulder of Aidyn Carkner (21/23) and ended up behind her.
After falling behind Shawnigan would control the second, though the shots did end 12-11 in favour of Delta Black. Saysha Brace (28/29) would keep the game 1-0 in favour of Delta Black heading into the third when captain Kinleigh Brace scored a power play goal with 7:54 remaining to give her team a 2-0 lead.
Alyssa Worsley would counter with a power play goal of her own just 1:51 later as Shawnigan looked for an equalizer. They would get their chances but ultimately were unable to find the tying goal, sending Delta Black into a joyous celebration.
Edge School (4) vs Delta Hockey Academy White (1) U15 Western Championships Consolation
Edge and Delta White closed out their tournaments in a consolation matchup that felt tight for forty minutes before Edge finally cracked it open, riding a three‑goal third period and a 45‑save masterpiece from David Tisdale (45/46) to a 4–1 win. After a scoreless first and a choppy, penalty‑tilted second, it was Deacon Harris (1G) who broke the deadlock at 9:35, giving Edge the first real foothold of the afternoon. The third period flipped from quiet to chaotic in seconds: Nawin Ithijarukul (1G) doubled the lead at 3:52, only for Cruz Natt to answer for Delta White 61 seconds later, briefly hinting at a pushback. But Edge’s response was the kind that shuts a door with Jake Sander (1G) burying a power‑play insurance marker at 13:16, and Callum Pearn (1G) sealing it late off a clean feed from Nash Klimpke. Even while being outshot 46–31, Edge controlled the moments that mattered, leaned on Tisdale’s calm presence, and finished their run with a performance that looked far sharper than their record suggested.
Notre Dame Hounds (2) vs Pacific Coast Hockey Academy (6) U15 Division II Western Championships
Pacific Coast Hockey Academy closed out round‑robin play with the kind of steady escalation that turns a must‑win into a statement, building layer by layer until Notre Dame simply couldn’t keep pace. A first‑period power‑play strike from Nolan Riley (1G) set the tone, and when Baen Kernan (1G) doubled the lead early in the second, it looked like PCHA might run away with it, until the Hounds punched back with two quick goals from Lochlan Kisslinger (1G) and Gus Buffington (1G) to tie the game and force a goalie change. That reset proved pivotal. With the period dying, Tate Davis (1G, 2A) buried the go‑ahead goal at 19:58, a dagger that flipped the game’s rhythm for good. From there, Pacific Coast rolled downhill: Finnegan Follick (2G, 1A) struck twice in the third, Austin Murray (1G) added the exclamation point, and the special teams edge plus a 38‑shot effort carried the #3 seed to a 6–2 win, and straight into the semifinals, while Notre Dame’s push faded under the weight of PCHA’s depth and timely finishing.
OHA Edmonton (1) vs RINK Hockey Academy Kelowna (2) Female U18 Prep Western Championships Final
For the fifth straight year RINK Hockey Academy Kelowna has won the CSSHL Female U18 Prep Western Championships.
RHA Kelowna (Kelowna, BC) did so Wednesday with a 2-1 win over OHA Edmonton (Edmonton, AB) in the finals. RHA Kelowna had previously beat OHA Edmonton 6-1 in round robin play, and the two teams had each won two meetings coming into today’s game.
Jaya Schippel (21/22) and Emma Skolney (21/23) kept clean sheets through 20 in a back and forth first period. The second looked like it would also end scoreless until the CSSHL’s All-Time Female leading scorer in Kennedy Sisson (2A), set-up captain Hailey McDonald (1G, 1A) on a 2-on-1. McDonald would make no mistake, firing it past a sprawling Skolney to give RHA Kelowna a 1-0 lead with 1:38 left in the period.
OHA Edmonton would threaten in the third with three power play opportunities, including a 5-on-3, but they were unable to tie the game early. RHA Kelowna would take advantage as Sydney McIntosh fired one from the slot through the five-hole of Skolney, increasing the lead to 2-0 with 6:27 left to play.
Izzy Gollop would get OHA Edmonton on the board with 1:03 left to play, ending the Schippel shutout bid, but RHA Kelowna ultimately held on for the 2-1 win, extending their dynasty for another year.
Ontario Hockey Academy Mavericks (0) vs CIH Academy (4) East U18 Prep Championships
CIH Academy opened their U18 Prep Eastern Championship run like a team fully aware they were the top seed in Pool B, methodically shutting down an OHA Mavericks group trying to punch above its #11 ranking in a matchup that tilted one way from the opening puck drop. CIH controlled possession, out‑shooting OHA 32–13, and built their lead in layers: Jayden Charlish‑Moar (2G) set the tone late in the first, Ricky Deslauriers (1G) added insurance early in the second, and the third turned into a quiet stranglehold as Victor Thivierge (1G) and Charlish‑Moar again pushed the margin out of reach. OHA never found a foothold as they had zero shots in the third, no conversion on three power plays, and long stretches spent defending their own zone while Jacob Kirstein (13/13) delivered a calm, no‑drama shutout behind CIH’s territorial dominance.
Coeur d’Alene Hockey Academy (0) vs. Yale Hockey Academy (6) U15 Western Championships QF
The first two periods of Coeur d’Alene Hockey Academy and Yale Hockey Academy’s U15 Western Championships Quarter-Final were evenly matched; Yale scored a goal in each of the first and second periods, but even down 2-0, Coeur d’Alene’s top offensive weapons looked threatening enough for the game to be far from settled. That script changed completely come the third period, and Yale executed dominance that would yield them the bounty of four consecutive goals. Brady Barrett (2G, 2A) and Emmett Rumbold (2G, 1A) scored the first two goals and added another one apiece in the third, doing the offensive damage in front of Landon Rivas (23/23), who backstopped his team to a shutout.
St. George’s School (1) vs. Okanagan Hockey Academy (6) U15 Division II Western Championships
The Okanagan Hockey Academy pounded on the St. George’s School for the entirety of their U15 Division II Western Championships clash, but in the first 48 minutes of the game, it would only produce one goal. Max Chen (1G, 1A) had his goal for OHA cancelled out by one from Alan Qiu, who made it 1-1. However, with 12 minutes left in the third period, OHA broke down the door, opening the floodgates in the process. OHA went on a run of five consecutive goals through Levi Leitner, Kristian Bowen (1G, 1A), Reece Verrier (1G, 1A), Kane Fitzgerald, and Cruz Rasmussen (1G, 1A), who struck repeated blows in an eventual 6-1 win.
Calgary International Hockey Academy (3) vs. OHA Edmonton (7) U15 Western Championships QF
Calgary International Hockey Academy never stopped fighting in their U15 Western Championships Quarter-Final. OHAE outshot CIHA 18-5 in the first period and took a 2-0 lead into the second, but Calgary’s fight back eventually paid off, with Rhett Davis’ third of the tournament starting a comeback. The game was tied at three in the third, and while CIHA had the bulk of the chances in the third, OHA Edmonton were the more opportunistic of the two teams. Kole Imlay scored twice, and one more apiece from Jacoby Cardinal and Kingston Ireland (1G, 2A) helped OHAE over the finish line and into the semi-final.
North Shore Warriors (0) vs. Prairie Hockey Academy (12) U15 Division II Western Championships
Not much the North Shore Warriors did on Tuesday against the Prairie Hockey Academy dissuaded Prairie from emphatically punching out of the round robin with a massive win. Prairie scored six in the first and would barely slow down from there, with a hat-trick from Titan Sauter, five points from Lucas Duchscherer (1G, 4A), and four points from Maguire Lepp (2G, 2A) doing the most damage in Prairie’s 12-0 win.
Northern Alberta Xtreme (3) vs. Delta Hockey Academy Black (4/OT) U15 Western Championships QF
The tale of two games… the Northern Alberta Xtreme dominated the first, and Delta Hockey Academy Black erased their hard work in the second. Rykker Kurka, Owen Bresden, and Dalton Sherwick all scored, the latter two on the power play, to give NAX a 3-0 lead, marching towards the final seven minutes of the second period. Whether it be complacency, resurgence, or simply a change in the bounces, Delta Black’s fortunes turned from there. Easton Isfeld (3G) and Stefano Trentalance scored before the period was over, before Isfeld intercepted a stretch pass and scored again early in the third to make it 3-3. Both teams traded chances in both parts of this game, which continued into overtime, but in the end, Isfeld’s heroics further shone through. A beautifully end-to-end rush and finish from Isfeld sealed the deal, with him and his Delta Black team charging back from 3-0 down straight into the Semi-Final.
STAR Hockey Academy (6) vs. RINK Hockey Academy Kelowna (5) U15 Division II Western Championships
Momentum swung back and forth in heavy waves in STAR Hockey Academy and RINK Hockey Academy Kelowna’s U15 Division II clash at the Western Championships, most evident in the second period. After a 1-1 first period, STAR Hockey Academy went on a run of three goals in 2:54 in the early stages, including two from Yeojun Park (4G) and a pair of goals in a 13-second span. After STAR stormed to a 4-1 lead, RINK Hockey Academy Kelowna took over, starting with a Landen Gray (2G) shorthanded goal at the beginning of a run of three straight to tie the game at four through forty minutes of play. STAR would strike twice to start the third, with a pair of quick goals, finishing with Yeojun Park’s fourth goal of the game. STAR had their 6-4 lead reduced, but not seized, with Park’s four-spot the leading light in his team’s 6-5 win.
BWC Academy (3) vs. RINK Hockey Academy Winnipeg (4) U15 Western Championships QF
Sullivan Shoucair opened the scoring for BWC a mere 37 seconds into the game, a goal that held as the only one until the last four minutes of the first period. Liam Hailstone and Caleb Church (1G, 1A) turned the BWC lead around with two goals in 21 seconds, but the lead wouldn’t hold to the break, with Alex Iaichkin (1G, 1A) tying the game for BWC with 27 seconds to go in the first. The two teams would trade another goal apiece in the second, but in the early stages of the third, the only goal of the period would hit the back of the net, with a knuckleball from the line off the stick of Tobias Rodrigue taking a deflection off a defensive skate on the way in, giving RINK Winnipeg the bounce they need to send them to the U15 Semi-Final.
