The Langley HA 17U AAA squad delivered a commanding performance on the road, cruising to a decisive 9-2 victory over Coquitlam HC. From the opening puck drop, Langley established a relentless offensive pace, outshooting their hosts 39-30 over three periods. The visitors set the tone early, with Cashton Smith and Ivan Latyshev finding the net in the first period to build a lead. Coquitlam showed a brief spark of life when xavier sedor-steer capitalized on a power play, assisted by Sunjai Sharma, to cut the deficit. However, Ryan Morris responded for Langley just minutes later, netting what would stand as the game-winning goal, assisted by Mason Cvitkovich, to restore the two-goal cushion heading into the intermission.
The middle frame saw the game slip away from Coquitlam. Minjun Kang scored early for the home side, again with help from Sunjai Sharma, to make it a 3-2 game and briefly threaten a comeback. But Langley answered with devastating speed, as Ivan Latyshev scored his second of the night just 26 seconds later, assisted by Dominic Hall. The floodgates then opened, with Zachary Smith adding another for Langley. The period was marred by a parade to the penalty box, including three minors for Coquitlam's Keenen Canales, as frustration mounted for the home team. Langley's special teams took full control in the third period, with Mason Cvitkovich scoring a power-play goal, assisted by Reid Birtch. Tyson Osterberg, Dominic Hall, and Cvitkovich again with his second of the game piled on to complete the rout, with Latyshev and Aric Reeve picking up assists in the final onslaught.
While specific goalie stats were not tracked, the shot totals and final score tell the story of Langley's offensive dominance and a tough night for the Coquitlam netminders. Langley's balanced attack was the story, with Ivan Latyshev (2 goals, 1 assist), Mason Cvitkovich (2 goals, 1 assist), and Dominic Hall (1 goal, 1 assist) leading a multi-pronged assault. For Coquitlam, Sunjai Sharma provided a silver lining with two assists, but the team was ultimately overwhelmed by Langley's consistent pressure and ability to answer every challenge, turning a close game early into a one-sided affair by the final buzzer.
