In a game defined by offensive firepower and special teams play, the Langley HA 14U AAA squad skated to an impressive 8-4 victory over Island HC. The game started with a bang as Island HC’s Reef Santos Cegnar opened the scoring on the power play just under three minutes in, assisted by Liam Rosse and Jack Degraaf. Langley quickly responded, however, with a pair of even-strength goals from Samarpreet Hansra and Michael Kralj, both set up by Jaxxon Dueck. The period continued to be a special teams showcase, with Siwoo Song netting a power play goal for Langley and Hayden Pothier adding another at even strength. The first period concluded dramatically with Liam McNaughton converting a penalty shot for Island HC, bringing the score to 4-2 after a frantic opening frame.
The second period saw Island HC mount a comeback attempt. Lincoln Carto and Jack Degraaf each found the back of the net, with Degraaf’s goal assisted by the penalty shot scorer McNaughton, cutting Langley’s lead to a single goal. The momentum was short-lived, as Langley’s Samarpreet Hansra struck again, completing a multi-point game with another goal, this time assisted by Michael Kralj and the ever-present Jaxxon Dueck. The period was also marked by a series of minor penalties, including a coincidental slashing call on Langley’s Hansra and an embellishment call on Island’s Maverik Gornall, as the physical intensity ramped up.
Langley HA put the game firmly out of reach in the final period, shutting down any hope of an Island HC rally. Carter Carignan started the third-period scoring, and Siwoo Song netted his second of the game, with William Anderson and Jaxxon Dueck picking up the helpers. Brett Bailey put the final nail in the coffin, scoring late with assists from Mason Shelley and Samarpreet Hansra. While goalie statistics were not specifically tracked, the shot totals told a clear story—Langley’s relentless offense fired 42 shots on goal, overwhelming the Island HC defense to secure a decisive 8-4 win, powered by a dominant performance from playmaker Jaxxon Dueck and a balanced scoring attack.
