The Surrey Eagles delivered a commanding 6-2 victory over the Langley HA in a Junior Prospects Hockey League matchup, using a dominant second period to seize control of the game. Surrey set the tone early, with Xander McQueen opening the scoring just over two minutes into the first period. McQueen wasn't finished, assisting on a goal by Brayden Bains a few minutes later to give the Eagles a 2-0 lead. Langley struggled to contain Surrey's offensive pressure, which was amplified when Nyxton Sunner capitalized on a power play early in the second period to score what would stand as the game-winning goal. The Eagles' onslaught continued with another from Bains, followed by a goal from Isaak Toews, building an insurmountable 5-0 lead and forcing a goalie change for Langley.
Langley finally broke through on the scoreboard late in the second period. On a power play of their own, Siwoo Song managed to solve Surrey's netminder Hayley Graham, getting the home team on the board with assists from Kayden Montaine and Dane Player. They added another in the third when Jack Walker found the back of the net, with Carter Carignan picking up the helper. However, any momentum was quickly stifled, and Travis Dressler sealed the Eagles' win with an empty-net goal in the final two minutes. Discipline was a factor, as Langley's Hayden Pothier found himself in the penalty box three separate times, hampering his team's ability to mount a sustained comeback.
In the crease, the story was one of stark contrast. Surrey's Hayley Graham was a brick wall, turning aside all 19 shots she faced for a shutout performance. For Langley, Axton Charboneau started the game but was relieved after surrendering five goals on 15 shots. Leo Ullmann came in and was perfect in his 28 minutes of relief, stopping all 18 shots he saw, but the early deficit proved too large to overcome. The Eagles' balanced attack, led by multi-point games from McQueen, Bains, and Sunner, combined with Graham's stellar goaltending, proved to be the perfect recipe for a decisive road victory.
