The South Sask HC 14U AAA squad delivered a dominant road performance, cruising to an 8-3 victory over the Langley HA. The game was a story of relentless pressure from the visitors, who capitalized on their chances and a potent power play to pull away decisively. Langley showed early fight, but South Sask's balanced attack proved too much to handle.
The first period set a frantic pace, with Langley striking first. Samarpreet Hansra, assisted by Siwoo Song, opened the scoring just six minutes in. Jaxxon Dueck, with a helper from Michael Kralj, doubled the Langley lead shortly after, stunning the visitors. However, South Sask responded with a furious three-goal flurry in the final five minutes. Oaklen Rogers got them on the board, followed by a quick strike from Gavin Mackow, with Rogers and Jett Girodat assisting on both. Rowen Istace then capped the rally in the dying seconds, assisted by Bryce Scrupps, sending South Sask to the intermission with a 3-2 lead and all the momentum.
That momentum carried into the second, where Bryce Scrupps netted what would stand as the game-winner early on. Langley's Nathan Martin, assisted by William Anderson, briefly cut the deficit back to one, but South Sask's special teams took over. Gavin Mackow scored his second of the night on the power play, assisted by Rylan Crittenden. The third period was all South Sask, as they added three more. Bryce Scrupps scored another power-play goal, Rylan Crittenden found the net, and Ethan Lloyd finished the scoring on the man-advantage, with Levi Barber and Quinn Partington picking up assists. South Sask goalie Barrett Scrupps was credited with the win, while the Langley netminders faced a heavy barrage, combining for 30 saves on 38 shots in a tough outing. The game was a penalty-filled affair, with South Sask's Jett Girodat and Rowen Istace each taking two minors, but their team's offensive firepower rendered those infractions moot on this night.
