The 18U AAA Langley HA squad put on an offensive clinic, cruising to a decisive 7-2 victory over Kootenay HA in a game that featured a bit of everything. The first period was a back-and-forth affair, with Kootenay's Aiden Stefano opening the scoring early, only for Langley's Owen Corscadden to answer back. Kootenay's Blaine Nelson restored their lead, but a late-period goal from Ethan Maglio sent the teams to the intermission tied at two, setting the stage for Langley's second-period takeover.
The middle frame was where Langley seized control, capitalizing on their power play opportunities. Kaden West broke the tie with a man-advantage marker, assisted by Owen Baker and goalie Colton Bush, showcasing an unexpected offensive contribution from the netminder. Dávid Szilágyi then extended the lead on another power play, with Sevak Gill and Baker picking up the helpers. The period was marred by penalties, including a major check from behind call against Langley's Benjamin Gibson, but it was Langley who managed the momentum, heading into the third with a firm grip on the game.
Langley put the game completely out of reach in the final period, starting with a spectacular shorthanded goal from Nolan Oxtoby, assisted by Szilágyi. Liam Keith added another even-strength tally to extend the lead. The most dramatic moment came when Kootenay's Andrew Misson was whistled for a penalty that resulted in a penalty shot, which Langley's Sevak Gill calmly converted to cap the scoring. While goalie statistics were not specifically tracked, Langley's Colton Bush was credited with the win, backstopping his team to victory as they outshot Kootenay 27-25 in a complete team effort.
