The 18U AAA HC Edmonton squad delivered a commanding performance from the opening puck drop, overwhelming the Titans Hockey Union with a decisive 9-2 victory. The home team set the tone early, launching a relentless 21-shot barrage in the first period. Easton Arndt opened the scoring just 16 seconds into the game, assisted by Chase Harrington and Tavin Vos. The pressure never let up, with Dawsen Harmer adding another even-strength goal just a minute later. The Titans found themselves in penalty trouble, and Harmer capitalized on the power play to net the game-winner before the period was halfway done. Ty Edwards added a fourth for Edmonton, but the Titans managed to break through just before the intermission, with Wesley Lizotte scoring at the 0:18 mark to make it 4-1.
The second period saw the game's physicality escalate, with the Titans taking several misconduct penalties, including a game misconduct for Physical Abuse of Officials to Carter Rennie. Edmonton continued to dominate the shot clock, outshooting the Titans 27-2 in the middle frame. Dawsen Harmer completed his hat trick, Chase Harrington found the back of the net, and Ty Edwards scored his second of the night. Jake Evans also got on the board, giving Edmonton a commanding 8-1 lead heading into the third. The Titans' goaltending was under siege, with Ethan Cornelius facing 54 shots through two periods before Bennett Neilson took over.
The final period saw Edmonton add one more power-play goal from Jake Evans, his second of the game, while the Titans' Luke Van Imschoot scored a late consolation goal. The story of the game, however, was the complete defensive effort and offensive firepower of HC Edmonton. Goaltender Kade Swanson earned the win, facing 15 shots total, while the Edmonton defense limited the Titans to single-digit shots in each of the first two periods. The Titans' penalty kill was under constant pressure, and the game was marked by a high number of infractions, ultimately derailing any chance of a comeback as HC Edmonton skated to a convincing and lopsided victory.
