The 14U AAA matchup between HC Edmonton and the Titans Hockey Union turned into a one-sided affair as the home team exploded for an 8-1 victory. The Titans actually struck first, with Sebastien Jolicoeur Gagnon finding the back of the net early in the first period, assisted by Joshua Peddle and Ridge Stevenson. However, that would be the lone bright spot for the visitors as HC Edmonton’s defense, anchored by goaltender Shaheya Morin, completely shut the door from that point forward. The first period was a parade to the penalty box for both sides, featuring a spearing double minor against Logan Ko and minors for roughing, boarding, and interference that kept the game physical but disjointed.
HC Edmonton began their offensive onslaught in the second period. Jack Kemila tied the game with an assist from Parker Garlitos, and then Logan Ko put the home team ahead for good, with helpers from Magnus Lindberg and Jake Cox. The physical play continued into the middle frame, highlighted by a misconduct and an illegal check to the head penalty assessed to Spencer Cox, forcing HC Edmonton to kill off an extended disadvantage. Despite the chippy play, they maintained their composure and carried a 2-1 lead into the final period.
The third period was an absolute explosion from HC Edmonton, who poured in six unanswered goals to turn a close game into a blowout. Carter West started the scoring barrage early, followed by a natural hat-trick performance from Parker Garlitos, who scored three consecutive goals. Garlitos’ impressive outing was fueled by setups from Jack Kemila and Carmine Chanak, with Chanak tallying three assists in the period alone. Jack Kemila added his second of the game, and Cruz Mounsey capped the scoring late to seal the 8-1 final. HC Edmonton’s relentless pressure was evident in the shot count, as they outshot the Titans 16-4 in the third period, overwhelming Titans netminder Kolt Elanik, who faced 31 shots in the loss.
