North Shore Warriors (3) vs St. Mary’s Academy (2) Female U18 Prep
The early Saturday morning clash between the North Shore Warriors and St. Mary鈥檚 Academy Flames posed the Warriors an opportunity to bounce back from yesterday鈥檚 loss against Bourget College鈥檚 Varsity side, while St. Mary鈥檚 look to win again after Friday鈥檚 triumph over Bourget鈥檚 Prep team. Mullen MacIntyre opened her account for the season with the first goal of the game for St. Mary鈥檚, giving her team the lead until later in the period, when Lily Zohner would respond for North Shore.

Prairie Hockey Academy (7) vs Northern Alberta Xtreme (0) U17
Prairie Hockey Academy鈥檚 dominant first period set a foundation they鈥檇 only build upon, as Reid Kawaguchi (2G, 1A), Cohen Greenwood (1G, 2A), and Tyson Ross (3A) led the way for PHA to defeat the Northern Alberta Xtreme 7-0. Prairie flew out of the gates, scoring through Kase Gellner (1G, 1A) after merely 85 seconds, and outshooting their opponent 18-3 in the first.

Okanagan Hockey Academy Black (0) vs Pilot Mound Hockey Academy (7)听 Female U18 Prep
Pilot Mound Hockey Academy鈥檚 Female U18 team had been on the cusp of earning their first win of February at a number of different points, including Friday, when they lost 4-3 to Delta Black in a tightly fought battle.

In each of the three periods, Pilot Mound heavily outshot their opponents, ultimately throwing 42 shots on the OHA Black goal.

Pilot Mound Hockey Academy (2) vs BWC Academy (8) U15 Prep
Oftentimes, in close games, a flurry of action; a lot occurring in a short amount of time can render the rest of the battle obsolete, and be pointed to as the primary thing that won the game for the victor. It鈥檚 not often, though, that you could say a two-minute and eighteen-second stretch of play in the second period decided a game that ultimately ended 8-2. Such was the case in Pilot Mound Hockey Academy and Burnaby Winter Club Academy鈥檚 U15 Prep battle on Saturday morning. Despite BWC outshooting Pilot Mound 16-11 after twenty minutes, Pilot Mound took a 2-1 lead into the second period. Bastian Lamarche would take a penalty in the second, and on the BWC powerplay chance, Logan Henry (1G, 2A) scored to tie the game at two goals apiece. That was when BWC would explode, as in the 2:18 following Henry鈥檚 goal, they鈥檇 get three more, with Cohen Baker scoring twice and Kenzo Gibson (1G, 1A) once. Emboldened after the break, BWC鈥檚 5-2 lead through two periods of play would only be built upon, thanks to Justin Moon scoring three goals on the powerplay in the third period alone. Adding to his goal in the first, Moon scored four in the game, joined by Logan Henry and Jackson Beggs (4A) in earning three or more points in the 8-2 win.
RINK Hockey Academy Winnipeg (8) vs Pacific Coast Hockey Academy (1) U15 Prep
Nothing is won in hockey without the contribution from every area of a team, but when you have the star power possessed by RHA Winnipeg, sometimes only a couple of guys can guide your team to victory. Easton Pitz (1G, 3A) started off what was a big day for him with the only goal of the first period, but after the break, WHL draft top prospect Athens Shingoose took less than nine minutes to score a hat-trick. Brady Filmon assisted on all three of Shingoose鈥檚 goals, and a pair of third-period goals from Markus Knaub led RHA Winnipeg to a big victory over Pacific Coast. Despite the 8-1 scoreline, the game, especially the first half of it, was closer than the scoreline suggests, and DJ Mecas鈥 strong performance, and 28 saves, were necessary to guide RHA Winnipeg to victory.
Delta Hockey Academy Green (5/SO) vs Edge School Female (4) U18 Prep
Heading into Saturday鈥檚 game against Edge School, it had been some time since Delta Hockey Academy Green was beaten in the U18 Prep division, winning every game they鈥檝e played since December 15. The survival of their winning streak hinged on how they鈥檇 handle Edge, and after a scoreless first period, Gabriella Lee (1G, 1A) gave DHA Green a 1-0 lead merely 79 seconds into the second period. Samantha Baker pulled Edge back level, but goals from Saya Earl and Molly Cole gave DHA Green a two-goal lead, a position they鈥檇 been comfortable in throughout the last two months. Comfort is dangerous, though, and after Cassia Severin would pull Edge back within one on the powerplay, Avery Michaluk scored to send the game to overtime. The five-minute extra period came and went without any game-ending incidents, and after the first six shooters had resulted in one goal apiece, the game was eventually won by Molly Cole in the shootout for DHA Green. Jillian Matthews stopped three of four in the shootout, adding to her 34 stops on 38 shots for the win.听
Selwyn House School (2) vs Stanstead College (3/OT) East U17
Stanstead College鈥檚 play since the new year has been consistently solid, but yesterday, Selwyn House School handed them their second loss of 2025, thanks to 25 stops from Luca Ottoni. Sunday鈥檚 rematch saw Ottoni return to the crease for Selwyn, but he鈥檇 surrender the first game, thanks to Liam Armit (2G) scoring the icebreaker. Selwyn forced back and found a response before the break, with Matheo Lazanis scoring with under four minutes left to make it 1-1. Selwyn did a good job at generating chances, but for a long time, couldn’t solve Gabriel Poitras in the Stanstead net. After Josh Seeback scored for Stanstead in the second, it looked like they might be able to see out the win, before Joel Downey managed to beat Poitras on one of Selwyn鈥檚 14 third-period shots. The game needed overtime, but not a substantial amount of it, and after 48 seconds, a sweet play from Matej Dobos (2A) found Armit who made no mistake in scoring his second of the game and winning it in overtime for Stanstead College.
Coeur d鈥橝lene Hockey Academy (3) vs Wenatchee Wild Hockey Academy (4) U18 Prep
There鈥檚 something to be said about a team always determined to score the next goal. It鈥檚 extremely difficult to wrestle momentum back into your favour from one of these teams, especially when they鈥檙e in the lead. As much was true today about the Wenatchee Wild Hockey Academy, who hosted the Coeur d鈥橝lene Hockey Academy in a very hard-fought affair. Wenatchee scored the only goal of the first period, and from there, every time CDA would fight back and tie the game, Wenatchee grabbed the next one. That happened throughout the second period, with CDA鈥檚 Alexander Skuratov and Wenatchee鈥檚 Gregor Ermellini trading two goals apiece. After Skuratov scored CDA鈥檚 third tying goal of the game, the two teams entered the third period still tied at three. However, Wenatchee picked the perfect moment to break through on the powerplay, and Cameron Kimmerly (1G, 1A) eventually scored to give his team a lead they鈥檇 this time be able to protect.听
OHA Edmonton (0) vs Northern Alberta Xtreme (3) U18 Prep

In yesterday鈥檚 win over CIHA, forward Michael Donovan took over, scoring the go-ahead goal late in the second before two in the third to complete his hat-trick and his team鈥檚 6-2 win. Today, Donovan picked up precisely where he鈥檇 left off, scoring the opening goal of the game 2:38 into the first period. Ben Deacon (1G, 1A) would extend the NAX lead to 2-0 later in the first, and from there, and firmly in the driver鈥檚 seat, NAX wouldn鈥檛 relinquish control from there. Jake Walker added another goal, with Tyler Swanson鈥檚 20 saves enough for the shutout in NAX鈥檚 3-0 win.
RINK Hockey Academy Kelowna (9) vs RINK Hockey Academy Winnipeg (0) Female U18 Prep
If this was soccer, the matchup would be considered the 鈥淩INK derby,鈥 so to speak. RINK Hockey Academy Kelowna hasn鈥檛 looked threatened in many of their games this season, and the game against their combatants from Winnipeg wasn鈥檛 an exception. RHA Kelowna scored five goals on their 24 first-period shots, and although the rest of the game wasn鈥檛 as slanted, it wasn鈥檛 close. By the time the final buzzer sounded, RHA Kelowna had scored nine times, with three players picking up multi-goal games; Kennedy Sisson (3G), Alida Korte (2G, 1A), and Emelia McDermid (2G). Although Jaya Schippel鈥檚 task at hand didn鈥檛 provide her with constant pressure, she still earned her shutout, making an impressive 22 saves.
Edge School (6) vs STAR Hockey Academy (0) U15 Prep
There are countless factors at play when analyzing how a hockey game unfolds, but momentum and lead changes are among the biggest. STAR Hockey Academy played an excellent first period against Edge School in their U15 Prep matchup on Saturday, and by the time the game headed into the second period, it still looked like anyone could win. 32 seconds into the middle frame, though, Dylan Sherban (1G, 1A) scored the first goal of the game to give Edge a 1-0 lead. The lead change shifted the momentum, and now chasing the game, the stronghold STAR had at limiting high-danger scoring chances broke. Two more in the second period for Edge preceded Remy Koch (2G, 1A) scoring two in the third to help his team to a 6-0 thumping of their American opponents.听
Bourget College (4) vs Fort Erie International Academy (2) East U18
It鈥檚 really, really hard to respond when you had and subsequently relinquished a lead in a hockey game. That makes Bourget College鈥檚 win over the Fort Erie International Academy as impressive as it is; after relinquishing the lead, they had a world of momentum against them. Victor Morrisette-Richer and Eliott Gu茅vin scored in the first period for Bourget, but Fort Erie responded through Brett Krtanjek in the second. 1:05 into the third, they鈥檇 tie the game shorthanded through Max Schippers, and after successive penalty kills to open the period, it looked like Fort Erie鈥檚 time to strike. Samy Taher and Bourget had other ideas, and after Taher scored to give Bourget the lead back, Rory Vered stood tall in between the pipes, and Mathys Morrissette scored late to earn Bourget the 4-2 triumph.听

The Notre Dame Hounds have a team in both the U15 and U15 Prep divisions of the CSSHL, and both were in action Saturday afternoon, starting with their U15 squad鈥檚 matchup against RINK Hockey Academy Winnipeg. Notre Dame鈥檚 offence showed up in a big way during the first of the two teams鈥 three-game series on Friday but was ultimately outdone by three RHA Winnipeg goals in the third period. A Notre Dame win, clearly, meant they鈥檇 need to improve in their own zone. Well, either they鈥檇 need to improve, or they鈥檇 need Soren Martin to have their backs in a big way. Both happened on Saturday for Notre Dame, as after the first period, the Hounds escaped in a scoreless tie despite being heavily outshot. RHA Winnipeg remained in control, but even after they鈥檇 taken a 1-0 lead, Notre Dame turned the game around.

RHA Winnipeg鈥檚 third-period barrage provided Josh Harvey with a goal, pulling the contest back within one late, but couldn鈥檛 do anything more. Martin made 14 stops in the third and ultimately 40 on 42 shots in the game to help his team to their second win in their last three games.
Notre Dame (2) vs Okanagan Hockey Academy (1) U15 Prep
Notre Dame鈥檚 U15 Prep team watched on as the organization鈥檚 U15 squad bumped what was a significant losing skid last week, turning it into two wins in three games. For the U15 Prep Hounds, they鈥檇 dropped 12 consecutive games, last beating RHA Winnipeg in January. They gave Yale some sweats yesterday, and looking to do the same against OHA today, the start was perfect. An early penalty to Roman Haddad gave Notre Dame a chance on the man advantage, capitalized upon by Matthew Boekelder to make it 1-0 Hounds. OHA turned the tide in the second, controlling the flow and throwing 17 shots on goal, all of which were stopped by Notre Dame鈥檚 Hudson Pooler.

Bourget College Varsity (3) vs Balmoral Hall School (4/SO) Female U18 Prep
Bourget College Varsity鈥檚 start to the weekend was a two-game Friday, which Bourget split, before their battle with Balmoral Hall School on Saturday. Balmoral dropped their game against OHA yesterday, and things looked to be getting worse early against Bourget, as they surrendered the first and only goal of the first period from Nela Tischlerova.
