The Calgary Rockies secured a hard-fought 2-1 victory over the Titans Hockey Union in a tightly contested Junior Prospects Hockey League matchup. The game was defined by strong goaltending and special teams play, with the Rockies striking first on the power play in the opening period. Memphis Jagodich capitalized on a setup from Calder Lalonde to give Calgary an early lead, setting the tone for a game where discipline would prove crucial. The Rockies dominated the shot count, firing 36 pucks on net compared to the Titans' 23, but Titans goaltender Kolt Elanik stood tall to keep his team within striking distance through two periods.
The game's turning point came in the third period when Hudson Hanley scored at even strength for the Rockies, with helpers from Luke Baldwin and Anton Mitchell, extending Calgary's lead to 2-0. The Titans fought back valiantly, finally solving Rockies netminder Jacob Derdall with just over a minute remaining. Crewe Sharuga netted a power-play goal, assisted by Brody Andruchow and Landon Rupp, to cut the deficit to one. Despite a late push and pulling their goalie for an extra attacker, the Titans couldn't find the equalizer against a disciplined Rockies defense that closed out the final minute.
Penalties were a recurring theme throughout the contest, with both teams combining for 10 infractions. The Titans' Max Bannink and Landon Rupp each took two minor penalties, while the Rockies' Grant Lalonde and Hudson Hanley also found themselves in the box. Ultimately, the Rockies' ability to capitalize on their opportunities and maintain their defensive structure under pressure proved the difference, handing the Titans a narrow defeat despite a heroic 34-save performance from Elanik in the losing effort.
