GAME DAY RECAP: March 4, 2025

Prairie Hockey Academy (4) vs Pacific Coast Hockey Academy (5) U15 Division II Western Championships

Through the game鈥檚 first forty minutes, you would have been hard-pressed to find much in the way of flaws in Prairie Hockey Academy鈥檚 effort against Pacific Coast Hockey Academy on Tuesday. Tristan Reimer scored just 22 seconds into the game to get Prairie off and running, a lead built upon by Noah Delaurier鈥檚 shorthanded goal later in the first period. If you could pick out anything Prairie did wrong in the first two periods, it was their disciplinary issues. However, their penalty kill was perfect, successful eleven times in the first two periods, including killing Reimer鈥檚 five-minute major in the second period. A switch flipped come the third period, with PCHA finally breaking through, scoring twice in just over five minutes to drag the game back to level. Hudson Honey, though, was able to score merely 24 seconds after PCHA had tied the game, re-establishing Prairie鈥檚 advantage and chasing PCHA starting goaltender Shay Van Slyke. Jace Zemanek came in to play the last fifteen minutes of the third period, and while he was superb, making 11 saves on 12 shots, he鈥檇 let in one of his first. Prairie took a 4-2 lead into the last four minutes of play, but any level of comfort surrounding their advantage would be thrust into serious jeopardy. Hudson Elke pulled PCHA back within one, and marching toward the closing stages, they鈥檇 be successful in their pursuit of more. Liam Hussey (2G, 1A), PCHA鈥檚 best player throughout the game, scored to tie the game with 91 seconds remaining, and he wasn鈥檛 done there. In PCHA鈥檚 next offensive foray, Hussey poked the puck into Brayden Lindsay鈥檚 path, who broke in and tucked it away, giving PCHA their first lead of the game with a mere 64 seconds left in the third period, helping the Sea Devils to the 5-4 victory.听

Indigenous Sports Academy (2) vs STAR Hockey Academy (6) U17 Prep Division II Western Championships

STAR Hockey Academy鈥檚 first-period effort against ISA was akin to a dormant volcano: dangerous, sure, but not actively threatening. ISA outshot STAR 15-5 through one period, controlling the bulk of the play, generating scoring chances both five-on-five and on the man advantage, and leaving the first with a 2-0 lead. The thing about a 鈥渄ormant鈥 threat, though, is that it can very easily become threatening, and with very little warning. STAR took over the game early in the second period, ultimately outshooting their opponents 16-6 and very quickly changing the complexion of the contest. Jaxson Trichak scored first, Anderson Carter (2G) tied it, and Colton Stabbler gave STAR the lead before the second period had even concluded, and unfortunately for ISA, they didn鈥檛 see their fortunes improve in the third. Carter鈥檚 second of the game on an early powerplay propelled STAR to their first multi-goal lead of the day, a lead they鈥檇 only build upon, eventually winning 6-2.

Yale Hockey Academy (2) vs Delta Hockey Academy (6) U17 Prep Western Championships

Jack Morgan鈥檚 domination of the U17 Prep division for Delta Hockey Academy this season has been, above all, consistent. In Delta鈥檚 most recent game against Yale during the regular season, Morgan starred with two goals and six points. In yesterday鈥檚 opener against NAX, Morgan鈥檚 performance was the difference, with his hat trick helping Delta to the 6-5 win. It took Morgan (2G, 1A) barely half of the first period to make his mark Tuesday against Yale, taking advantage of a well-worked Dylan Hurren (2G, 1A) setup to open the scoring. Morgan scored the first goal of the second period as well, with his fifth of the Western Championships already, to extend the lead beyond what Yale would be able to recover from. By the end of the third, Delta had found the back of the net six times, comfortably controlling the majority of the game to see out the victory. Morgan and Hurren ended with three points apiece, with Morgan now up to five goals and six points through his two Western Championships games so far.听

Wenatchee Wild Hockey Academy (3) vs Pilot Mound Hockey Academy (6) U17 Prep Division II Western Championships

Pilot Mound Hockey Academy鈥檚 opening goal of Tuesday鈥檚 game must鈥檝e felt akin to breaking through a dam, with PMHA all over the Wenatchee Wild Hockey Academy from the drop of the puck. Keagan Bradshaw stood tall in the first, stopping each of PMHA鈥檚 14 shots on goal, but he couldn鈥檛 stay perfect forever. Just under six minutes into the second period, Collin Friedrich (3G) scored to open PMHA鈥檚 account for the day, a goal that would be closely followed by two more just like it. By the time the second period was over, PMHA led 4-1, extending their lead by virtue of two powerplay goals in the back half of the second. Wenatchee managed to make a game out of things with a pair of goals early in the third period, but what followed was more powerplay prowess from PMHA, as Friedrich completed his hat-trick and Casey Silverman (1G, 1A) scored late to seal the 6-3 victory.听

Fort Erie International Academy (2) vs Okanagan Hockey Ontario (1) East U18

Fort Erie International Hockey Academy and Okanagan Hockey Ontario鈥檚 game on Tuesday was, above all, a battle between two goaltenders. Fort Erie controlled the bulk of the first period, meaning Kristian Olsen-Makdessian needed to be strong, setting the table for Okangan Hockey Ontario to dominate the second, with this time Fort Erie鈥檚 Ryan Schultz standing tall to shut the door. Through sixty minutes, both teams had scored once apiece, with both goaltenders saving all but one shot apiece through three periods. Fort Erie鈥檚 Brett Krtanjek had scored in three consecutive games heading into Tuesday, and riding his hot hand, he made short work of overtime for Fort Erie, grabbing the puck and scoring a mere 20 seconds into overtime to earn his club the victory.听

Notre Dame Hounds (1) vs STAR Hockey Academy (6) U15 Division II Western Championships

In STAR Hockey Academy鈥檚 Western Championships opener on Monday, the duo of Seve Paladino and Camden Freeman combined to take over the show in their 9-2 win over Prairie, combining for four goals and eight points in the victory. The pair wouldn鈥檛 be quite as productive but equally effective at guiding their team to victory on Tuesday. Freeman (2G) opened the scoring within the game鈥檚 first three minutes, and STAR wouldn鈥檛 look back from there. ET Kennedy (1G, 2A) and Eli Solberg both scored powerplay goals to extend STAR鈥檚 advantage, and Freeman鈥檚 second of the game sent his squad into the third period with a four-goal lead. William Clarke was able to pull Notre Dame back within three early, but that鈥檚 as close as the Hounds would come, and two more goals from STAR in the third saw them to the 6-1 victory.

Notre Dame Hounds (2) vs St. George’s School (4) U17 Prep Division II Western听Championships

If there was anything flawed about St. George鈥檚 victory over ISA in their Western Championships opener on Monday, it was their start; they spotted ISA a two-goal cushion within the first four and a half minutes of the game. That meant St. George鈥檚 had no choice but to play catch-up throughout, and to their credit, they did it well, rattling off six unanswered goals in the victory. If improving their start was the objective, St. George鈥檚 did so in very convincing fashion, outshooting Notre Dame 13-8 in the first and scoring their fourth goal of the game less than six minutes into the second period. Aaron Castro, who scored a hat-trick on Monday, popped up with a pair of powerplay points, including a primary assist on the game-winner early in the second. Notre Dame was able to score once at the end of the second and once at the start of the third to make the end of the game competitive, but 4-2 was as close as the Hounds were to get to St. George鈥檚, who start their Western Championships off with back-to-back wins.

Coeur d’Alene Hockey Academy (4) vs BWC Academy (5) U17 Prep Division II Western Championships

Coeur d’Alene Hockey Academy and BWC Academy鈥檚 game on Tuesday boiled down to which squad鈥檚 special teams units could prevail in a game largely decided with one team on the man advantage. BWC鈥檚 special teams production was no doubt more timely, scoring the first goal of each period on the powerplay; Aiden Baker made it 1-0 early in the first period and 2-1 early in the second period, before setting up Ayden Saran, whose powerplay goal made it 5-4 early in the third period. Akira Ota (2G) scored two second-period goals of his own to keep CDA in the contest, but ultimately, BWC managed to find a response each time one would be required, and a strong performance from Jeevin Sandhu helped BWC to the victory, a bounceback result after they鈥檇 lost 6-2 to Shawnigan Lake on Monday.听

North Shore Warriors (4) vs Calgary International Hockey Academy (3) U15 Western Championships

Monday鈥檚 outing for Benjamin Boudreau in between the pipes for the North Shore Warriors was no doubt a game the young goaltender would rather leave behind him. Edge School managed to score seven on 19 third-period shots, eventually winning 10-3, but despite the loss, Boudreau was chosen to start again Tuesday for the Warriors. Boudreau was beaten just once in the first period, thanks to Bennett Pattison scoring on the powerplay, but Calgary International Hockey Academy could have easily produced more without Boudreau鈥檚 efforts. North Shore tied the game on a second-period powerplay, with Mattias Gallina tying the game up at one. A mere 54 seconds later, North Shore would take the lead, with Cohen Waite (4A) setting up Brody Watson to score, sending the Warriors into the third-period with a 2-1 lead. CIHA鈥檚 powerplay produced again early in the third period through Liam Nycholat (1G, 1A), who tied the game at one, but two quick responses from Knox Leeson and Oliver Demarco (1G, 1A) gave North Shore a two-goal lead that, with the help of Benjamin Boudreau in between the pipes, they were able to hold on to. CIHA scored late, making it a one-goal game, but it was North Shore who ultimately proved victorious by a 4-3 scoreline, with Benjamin Boudreau鈥檚 forty saves the catalyst for victory.

Okanagan Hockey Academy (3) vs Edge School (7) U15 Western Championships

Edge School鈥檚 first game of the Western Championships saw them get better and better as the contest went on, ultimately scoring seven in the third period alone in their opening game win. They picked up on Tuesday right where they left off on Monday, exploding out of the gates with four goals on 17 first-period shots, including one of the best we鈥檝e seen from the Western Championships, with Brody Antignani going between-the-legs on a breakaway to make it 2-0 Edge School. OHA were the better team in the second period, even pulling the game back within one goal, but Edge School鈥檚 three-goal third period helped them to what ultimately was a dominant 7-3 victory. Defenceman Tyler O鈥橤orman, who was brilliant in Edge鈥檚 opener, was superb on Tuesday, scoring twice.听

Delta Hockey Academy Black (5) vs Northern Alberta Xtreme (8) U15 Western Championships

When you only outplay your opponent in one of a hockey game鈥檚 three periods, you鈥檙e often going to find yourselves hard-pressed to win said hockey game. Delta Black was the better team on Tuesday against the Nothern Alberta Xtreme in the first and third periods, outshooting, outchancing, and outscoring their opponents in both. Being the better team for most of the contest, however, mattered very little, thanks to NAX鈥檚 clinical offensive showing in the second. Down 2-1 through one, NAX absolutely dominated the second period, outshooting Delta Black 23-7 and outscoring them by a staggering six goals to one, meaning the Albertan side took a 7-3 lead into the third period. The second-period damage from NAX proved to be enough, and while Delta Black鈥檚 third-period efforts made the game closer, they ultimately fell 8-5.听

Delta Hockey Academy White (3) vs Yale Hockey Academy (8) U15 Western Championships

Yale came out to play in their second game at the CSSHL Western Championships, scoring three goals in the first. Carson Brown (1G, 1A) would score the lone goal for Delta White in the opening frame but was immediately matched with a tuck from Ben Bury. To open the second, Connor Baines (4G) started to inflict his wrath, scoring three goals in only 3:35 to cap off a four goal performance. Delta White would nab an extra two goals to close the second and decrease their deficit to two. However, Yale kept pouring on the offence in the third as Max Ritchey and Mason Cumiskey (2G) restored Yale鈥檚 five goal spread. The Lions would go on to take this one a commanding 8-3 with Lucca Tassone (33/36) picking up the win between the pipes.

RINK Hockey Academy Winnipeg (2) vs RINK Hockey Academy Kelowna (9) U17 Prep听Western Championships

Nolan Harding opened the scoring for RHA Winnipeg just over five minutes into play. However, RHA Kelowna would get the better of their eastern counterparts later in the frame, going up 2-1 after goals from Ronin Martin (1G, 1A) and Porter Rossi. RHA Kelowna鈥檚 offensive trend would continue in the second. Jack Brown (1G, 1A) would lift a wrister past Chase Charriere (32/41) early on while Maddox Bentley (2G) scored back-to-back goals, including a shorthanded tally. RHA Kelowna would add another four in the third to rack up an eventual 9-2 win over RHA Winnipeg. Bentley and Preston Kelly-Paquet (2G) would each end the game with a pair of goals while Asher Netherton (25/27) picked up 25-saves and an assist from the crease.

Prairie Hockey Academy (5) vs Okanagan Hockey Academy (1) U17 Prep Western Championships

Prairie dominated the opening twenty, outshooting OHA 22-6. However, it wasn鈥檛 until the final minute of play before Prairie would garner something out of their high volume of shots. Ethan Unger鈥檚 (1G, 1A) low point shot would get past Charlie Peppinck (33/37) to give Prairie the lead through the first frame. PHA would continue applying the pressure in the second with more impact on the scoresheet this time around. Luke Pratte and Hogan Hickman would score back-to-back powerplay goals to extend Prairie鈥檚 lead to three while Van Huebner鈥檚 (1G, 1A) point shot was the cherry on top, giving PHA a 4-0 lead through forty. Linden Sobocan (7/7) would come into play for OHA following Prairie鈥檚 fourth goal. OHA would go on to outshoot PHA 19-4 in third as their season was potentially on the line. Trey Tourigny would break the goose egg, getting OHA on the board. OHA would go on to play with an empty cage with as much as 8-minutes on the clock looking for a miracle. Prairie would hold on to their lead after Dane Chalupa added an empty netter with just under six minutes left in the contest. Drake Mooney (36/37) once again posted a spectacular performance, making at least 36-stops for a second consecutive start. For a second straight season, Prairie clinched a spot in the U17 Prep semi-finals, coming in as the 12th seed and going against the odds, knocking off the number 1 seed, Okanagan Hockey Academy.

RINK Hockey Academy Kelowna (5) vs St. George’s School (3) U15 Division II Western Championships

Following a scoreless first, Kyle Schierling (1G, 1A) would jam home a loose puck in close to give the initial lead to RHA Kelowna. A few minutes would pass and St. George鈥檚 would find themselves on the board after recently named February U15 Player of the Month, Hudson Lesk (1G, 1A), would capitalise on an end-to-end effort for his first of the Western Championships. However, St. George鈥檚 momentum wouldn鈥檛 last long as RHA Kelowna would pot back-to-back goals to close out the second courtesy of Austin Schultz and Asher Simms (2G). Nick Hill (2G) brought the Saints back into contention with an early goal in the third, but once again RHA Kelowna鈥檚 offence would strike for another two quick goals. Harrison Sharman would score RINK鈥檚 fourth goal after a slick move to the middle before rifling one top shelf over the glove of Jonah Gamble (26/31). Sharman鈥檚 tally would stand as the game winner as Hill would garner another late goal for St. George鈥檚. Griffin Prairie Chicken (31/34) captured the win in goal, steering aside 31-shots to secure the 2-0-0 record for RHA Kelowna.

Edge School (2) vs South Alberta Hockey Academy (5) U17 Prep Western Championships

SAHA had total control through twenty minutes of play. Brennan Finke (2G) got the ball rolling a mere 51-seconds into play. Halfway through the frame, Dalin Nixon doubled SAHA鈥檚 lead with a rising wrister off听 the rush. Less than a minute later, Sully Kufflick nabbed SAHA鈥檚 third of the evening. Edge would find a spark in the second after Chase McNamara struck shorthanded. However, Matthew Cameron-Skidmore (1G, 1A) would match Edge, scoring a shorthanded goal of his own only three minutes later. A late marker from Antonio Cazac gave Edge some momentum heading into the third, but SAHA kept their firm grip on this contest in the final frame. Finke would score his second of the evening for the lone goal of the third, sealing the win for SAHA, improving their record to 1-0-1-0.

Pacific Coast Hockey Academy (1) vs Calgary International Hockey Academy (3) U17 Prep Western Championships

Our late game consisted of a defensive showdown between PCHA and CIHA. PCHA had the upper hand after Treytin Frizzell鈥檚 wrist shot floated past Ethan Mann (24/25). A few minutes would pass and CIHA would find their footing on the scoresheet after William Matte wired one top left. Scoring would resume in the second in CIHA鈥檚 favour courtesy of Zane Rains (1G, 1A) and some fortune from a sharp angle. Just over a minute later, Zachery Hall would extend CIHA鈥檚 lead, tightening their grip over PCHA. CIHA would continue to hold on strong in the third, outshooting PCHA 16-6, suffocating their offence. Ander Reyes (37/40) would make 37-stops between the pipes for CIHA, stopping all 16-shots in the third. Mann would pick up the win in the crease for CIHA as they improve to 2-0-0-0 in the postseason.
