The Surrey Eagles 14U AAA squad delivered a commanding performance on home ice, overwhelming the Victoria HA team with a decisive 7-2 victory. From the opening puck drop, Surrey established control, outshooting Victoria 16-6 in the first period alone. Cristian Phillips got the Eagles on the board early, scoring at 17:36 of the first with an assist from Kayden Sran. The offensive pressure continued as Xander McQueen and Brayden Bains each found the back of the net, with Bains’ goal at 4:44 ultimately standing as the game-winner. Surrey’s top line of Bains, McQueen, and Daniel Culbert was particularly lethal, combining for multiple points and showcasing crisp passing and relentless forechecking.
The game’s physical intensity escalated in the second period, with Victoria’s discipline unraveling. A major penalty for checking from behind and a game misconduct to Evan Holfeld at 5:40 left Victoria shorthanded for an extended stretch, and Surrey capitalized. Daniel Culbert extended the lead to 4-0 with a helper from Austin Liu. Despite a flurry of penalties on both sides—including minors for interference, boarding, and an ineligible player—Victoria’s penalty kill could not contain Surrey’s deep and persistent attack.
Surrey put the game completely out of reach in the third period, exploding for three quick goals. Brayden Bains completed his hat trick with markers at 16:11 and 10:33, while Isaiah Abdulla also lit the lamp. Victoria managed to break the shutout bid late, with Xadrian John and Niko Stamatakis scoring consolation goals, but it was too little, too late. Surrey’s Austin Wilson earned the win in net, facing 17 shots overall, while Victoria’s Hunter Villecourt faced a barrage of 45 shots in a tough outing. The Eagles’ offensive depth and disciplined structure proved too much for Victoria, sealing a statement win in Junior Prospects Hockey League action.
