The Coquitlam HC 18U AAA squad delivered a dominant performance on the road, overwhelming the Surrey Eagles HA with a decisive 10-2 victory. The game started with a quick strike from Coquitlam's Markus Halliwell, who found the net just 55 seconds into the contest. Surrey's Matthew Levers, assisted by Deven Bhathal and Simon Gvozdev, answered back to tie the game at 1-1, but that would be the high point for the home side. The first period was also marked by physical play, with a slashing and roughing double-minor to Coquitlam's Mateo Nicolato and a matching roughing minor to Surrey's Gvozdev after a scrum.
The second period was an absolute clinic in offensive pressure from Coquitlam. They unleashed a staggering 24 shots on goal, turning a tight game into a blowout with a relentless six-goal barrage. Christiano D'Addabbo and Colby Monette were central figures in the onslaught, with D'Addabbo scoring twice and Monette adding a goal and multiple assists. Monette's tally at 16:10, assisted by Matteo Kokkas and Nathan Hillmann, stood as the game-winner. The period also saw power-play success for Coquitlam, as a high-sticking penalty to Surrey's Mikkel Dennill led to a goal from Halliwell, his second of the night. Xander Dibble and LJ Edmondson also lit the lamp, leaving Surrey reeling and their goalie, Quinn Pecor, under constant siege.
Any hope of a Surrey comeback was extinguished in the third period as Coquitlam continued to roll. Mateo Nicolato redeemed his earlier penalties with a goal, assisted by Taran Biring. Nathan Hillmann then capped off a strong three-point night (one goal, two assists) with a goal of his own. In the final seconds, Christiano D'Addabbo completed his hat trick, assisted once more by Hillmann, to seal the emphatic 10-2 final. While Coquitlam's goalie stats were not tracked, the shot totals—51 for Coquitlam versus just 13 for Surrey—tell the story of a game completely controlled by the visitors, who showcased their depth and firepower in a commanding team win.
