The Coquitlam HC 18U AAA team delivered a statement performance on home ice, dismantling the Surrey Eagles HA by a lopsided score of 11-2. From the opening puck drop, Coquitlam established a relentless offensive attack, outshooting Surrey 17-5 in the first period alone. The home side struck first, with Colby Monette (#91) finding the net just over two minutes into the game, assisted by Xander Dibble (#93). Surrey managed to answer on the power play, as Sam Hsiao (#7) capitalized on a chance set up by Nate Hawley (#2) and Aiden Gauer (#11). However, Coquitlam quickly regained control, with Ramiro Stewart-Parsons (#90) restoring the lead before the period ended, signaling the start of a one-sided affair.
The second period saw Coquitlam blow the game wide open, scoring four more times to build an insurmountable lead. Brady Desharnais (#4) and Colby Monette (#91) with the eventual game-winner extended the advantage, with Monette and Xander Dibble (#93) trading assists on goals to showcase their chemistry. Jaehun Kim (#12) then added a power-play marker, assisted by Christiano D'Addabbo (#74) and Nathan Hillmann (#2). The period ended in chaos, however, as a massive scrum at the 33-second mark resulted in a flurry of penalties. Surrey's Ramiro Stewart-Parsons (#90) was ejected for fighting, while Taran Biring (#21) of Coquitlam and Matthew Levers (#22) of Surrey were each hit with multiple minors, setting a chippy tone for the final frame.
Any thoughts of a Surrey comeback were extinguished in the third as Coquitlam's offense continued to hum, scoring five more goals despite being outshot 11-9. Jaehun Kim (#12) completed a hat-trick with two quick strikes early in the period, while Mateo Nicolato (#22) and Jacob Keller (#27) added tallies, with Keller's coming shorthanded. Matteo Kokkas (#10) rounded out the scoring, assisted by the red-hot Kim and Cameron Ogilvie (#13). While Surrey's goaltending faced a barrage of 47 shots, Coquitlam's defensive effort was equally impressive, limiting quality chances and capitalizing on their own to secure a comprehensive and dominant victory.
