The Langley HA 15U AAA squad delivered a commanding performance on home ice, overwhelming Coquitlam HC with a final score of 10-1. From the opening puck drop, Langley established control, outshooting their opponents 15-8 in the first period and setting the tone for the rest of the game. Noah Keith, wearing number 87, was a force to be reckoned with, opening the scoring just under three minutes into the game and completing a hat-trick before the final buzzer. He was supported by a multi-point effort from teammates like Kanta Gojsic, Xavier Wellard, and Theodore Kim, who all contributed significantly to the offensive onslaught. Despite a parade of penalties on both sides—including an elbow minor to Keegan Sabo and an illegal check to the head by Brayden Sloan—Langley’s power play capitalized when it mattered, with Hayden Laneville burying one on the man advantage in the second period.
Coquitlam struggled to find their footing, managing only 16 shots total and failing to solve Langley netminder Milo Cosco until late in the third period. That lone bright spot came when Keegan Sabo, assisted by Linden Yap, broke Cosco’s shutout bid with just over nine minutes remaining. But any hope of a comeback was quickly extinguished as Langley answered with two more goals, including a power-play marker from Xavier Wellard. Discipline became an issue for Coquitlam as the game wore on, with Dominik Udovicic receiving both a misconduct and a game misconduct, and Brayden Sloan picking up three separate minors in a frustrating night for the visitors.
By the final horn, Langley had showcased both their offensive depth and defensive discipline, with ten different players registering at least a point and their penalty kill holding firm under pressure. The 10-1 final reflected a complete team effort and sent a clear message to the rest of the league. For Coquitlam, the game served as a tough lesson in composure and consistency, while Langley’s convincing win will surely build momentum as they continue their season.
