In a stunning offensive showcase, the Coquitlam HC 18U AAA squad dismantled the Surrey Eagles HA by a staggering 14-4 final score. The game was effectively decided in the first period as Coquitlam unleashed a relentless 24-shot barrage, setting the tone for a lopsided contest. Colby Monette and Christiano D’Addabbo were electric from the start, with D’Addabbo opening the scoring and Monette adding two of his own in the opening frame. Surrey’s Griffin Carmont managed a power-play marker to briefly make it interesting, but Coquitlam’s firepower was simply overwhelming as they built a commanding 5-1 lead after one.
The second period saw no let-up from the home team. Coquitlam continued to pour it on with goals from Jacob Keller, Markus Halliwell, Dominic Allegretto, and another from Monette to complete his hat trick. Surrey showed brief flashes of resistance with Carmont netting his second of the game and Liam Egan and Mikkel Dennill adding tallies, but they couldn't slow Coquitlam’s relentless attack. The period was also marred by penalties, including a gross misconduct to Surrey’s Jett Bates, reflecting the growing frustration for the visiting Eagles as they headed into the final frame trailing 11-4.
Any remaining doubt was erased early in the third as Coquitlam tacked on three more goals from Brennan Peppler, Blake Miller, and Xander Dibble. Theron Lashley capped the scoring for the home side, while Coquitlam netminder Joel Paladino turned aside 25 of 29 shots to secure the victory. The Eagles cycled through both Daniel Russell and Quinn Pecor in net, but neither could stem the tide against a Coquitlam offense that produced 53 total shots and saw multiple players with multi-point nights, led by Matteo Kokkas’ four assists and Christiano D’Addabbo’s four-point performance in a truly dominant team effort.
