The Calgary Stallions delivered a commanding performance on the road, blanking the Lloydminster Athletics 6-0 in a one-sided Junior Prospects Hockey League matchup. From the opening puck drop, Calgary controlled the tempo, outshooting Lloydminster 32-26 over the course of the game. The Stallions set the tone early when Jakob Pugliese opened the scoring midway through the first period, assisted by Cody Callison. The momentum only grew in the second period, where Calgary exploded for four goals, including a shorthanded marker from Cody Callison and two even-strength tallies from Brady Baun. Oliver Kendall contributed two assists in the frame, helping to build an insurmountable lead.
Lloydminster struggled to generate quality chances against Calgary’s disciplined structure and sharp goaltending. Matthew Tucker was perfect between the pipes for the Stallions, turning aside all 26 shots he faced to earn the shutout. The Athletics’ netminder, Trycestan Loke, faced a relentless Calgary attack, stopping 26 of 32 shots in a tough-luck loss. Penalties also hampered the home side, with Jayce Fick taking two minors and a late-game fracas resulting in a fighting major and game misconduct for Tay Mann, adding frustration to an already difficult night for Lloydminster.
The third period saw Calgary add one more for good measure, with Jakob Pugliese netting his second of the game off another helper from Oliver Kendall. Despite a late push that saw Lloydminster outshoot Calgary 11-7 in the final frame, they couldn’t solve Tucker. The Stallions’ special teams and balanced scoring—led by multi-point efforts from Callison, Baun, Pugliese, and Kendall—sealed a decisive victory and showcased why they were the superior squad on this night.
