The Langley HA 15U AAA team used a dominant third period to secure a 4-2 victory over the Coquitlam HC in a hard-fought Junior Prospects Hockey League matchup. The game was a tight defensive battle through two frames, with Langley holding a slight 25-19 edge in shots but only a one-goal lead thanks to a second-period tally from Tanner Chahal. The game's complexion changed dramatically in the final period, where Langley's offense exploded and special teams played a decisive role.
Langley broke the game open with a trio of goals in a four-minute span early in the third. On the power play, Theodore Kim, wearing number 83, opened the floodgates with a goal assisted by Braddex Bachler just 5:33 into the period. Just over two minutes later, Xavier Wellard, assisted by Noah Keith, netted what would stand as the game-winner. Kim then struck again at even strength less than a minute after that, completing a personal two-goal night and giving Langley a commanding 4-0 lead. Coquitlam showed resilience on their own power play later in the period, as Rayhan Patel and Luca Allegretto scored goals just 22 seconds apart to cut the deficit in half, but the early third-period hole proved too deep to climb out of.
The goaltending duel was a story of two strong performances, though the official stats sheet tells a simplified tale. Langley's Mason Guiel backstopped his team to the win, turning aside 24 of 26 shots, withstanding a late push and several penalties against his team in the final ten minutes. For Coquitlam, Cooper Rawson faced a heavy workload, making 27 saves on 31 shots, but was ultimately overwhelmed by Langley's clinical finishing in the decisive third-period burst. The penalty sheet filled up as the game progressed, with Coquitlam's Akay Mellios taking a checking from behind minor and Langley's Theodore Kim finding himself in the box twice late, but by then the outcome was firmly in Langley's hands.
