The 14U AAA Calgary Rockies set the tone early and never looked back, cruising to a decisive 5-2 win over Island HC. From the opening faceoff, the Rockies established a relentless offensive presence, outshooting their opponents 16-4 in the first period alone. The pressure paid off quickly as Anton Mitchell, assisted by Fisher Reeves and Luke Baldwin, found the back of the net just 3:22 into the game. The lead doubled before the period was out when Jason Hicks, with helpers from Dane Nicolle and Sawyer Sewell, made it 2-0. The physicality began to ramp up as well, with Island HC's Eshaan Sharma and the Rockies' Hudson Hanley exchanging minor penalties late in the frame.
The second period saw the Rockies blow the game wide open with a stunning two-goal burst in just 12 seconds. First, Hudson Hanley, assisted by Charlie Fisher, scored what would stand as the game-winner. Immediately off the ensuing faceoff, Charlie Fisher turned from passer to scorer, netting an unassisted goal to make it 4-0. Island HC managed to break through late in the period when Reef Cegnar scored to cut the deficit to three, but the period was marred by a series of roughing minors and a checking-from-behind call on Calgary's Luke Baldwin, signaling a chippy contest. The Rockies' goalie Jacob Derdall was solid when called upon, facing a light but consistent workload.
Any hopes of an Island HC comeback were extinguished early in the third when Calgary's Sawyer Sewell restored the four-goal cushion, assisted by Brixtin Cenaiko and Zander Schultz. Island HC capitalized on a late power play, with Liam McNaughton scoring off passes from Liam Rosse and Lincoln Carto, but it was merely a consolation goal. The final shots told the story of complete territorial dominance, with the Rockies firing 45 pucks on Eston Clement, while Jacob Derdall faced only 14 at the other end, securing a well-earned victory for the home side.
