The Lloydminster Athletics came out flying in the first period and never looked back, securing a decisive 6-3 win over Island HC. The game's tone was set early when Alexander Roy opened the scoring for the Athletics just over five minutes in. Lloydminster capitalized on their first power play opportunity midway through the period, with Riddick Ford burying a setup from Khessler Foster and Liam Sydia. Island HC managed to get on the board late in the period with a power play goal of their own from Liam McNaughton, assisted by Reef Santos Cegnar and Austin Coutu, giving the home crowd a glimmer of hope heading into the first intermission.
Any momentum for Island HC was quickly extinguished in the second period. Kyler Martin restored the two-goal lead for the Athletics just 15 seconds into the period. Lloydminster's power play continued to be a weapon, as Max Andrews scored to make it 4-1. The period was marred by penalties, including a double minor for kneeing against Island HC's Davin Ekren, which the Athletics were unable to convert on but which disrupted any flow the home team tried to establish. Despite being outshot 12-6 in the middle frame, Island HC couldn't solve Athletics' goalie Hayden Didyk.
The third period saw the Athletics put the game completely out of reach. Blake Lovberg and Khessler Foster scored to extend the lead to 6-1, with Foster's line featuring Roy and Ford proving particularly potent all night. Island HC showed some late fight, with Davin Ekren and Reef Santos Cegnar scoring two quick goals to make the score more respectable. Santos Cegnar's goal came on the power play after a check from behind penalty. Ultimately, the Athletics' offensive depth and a perfect shooting performance—scoring on six of their 33 shots—proved too much for Island HC to overcome in a game defined by Lloydminster's efficient scoring and special teams dominance.
