The Calgary Stallions 17U AAA team delivered a commanding performance on home ice, defeating Island HC by a score of 6-2. The game was a story of offensive depth and timely scoring for the Stallions, who saw contributions from across their lineup to secure the win. The home team set the tone early, with Kyson Trinh opening the scoring just over a minute into the contest, assisted by Tyson Ness. Cody Callison doubled the lead midway through the first, with helpers from Oliver Kendall and Elliott Wilson, giving Calgary a 2-0 advantage they would never relinquish. Despite a strong push in the second period from Island HC, who outshot the Stallions 14-10, Calgary's defense and goaltender Matthew Tucker held firm. The Stallions extended their lead when Elliott Wilson netted what would stand as the game-winning goal early in the second frame, with assists from Tripp Gillespie and Greg Milne.
Island HC showed resilience, breaking through late in the second period when Cullin Camarta scored his first of the night, assisted by Michel Rechon-Reguet. Camarta struck again early in the third period, cutting the deficit to 3-2 and injecting some tension into the contest. However, the Stallions responded emphatically. Just over three minutes after Camarta's second goal, Tripp Gillespie restored the two-goal cushion, with Elliott Wilson and Greg Milne picking up their second assists of the game. Less than a minute later, Oliver Kendall found the back of the net, assisted by Lucas Derdall and Cody Callison, to put the game out of reach at 5-2. Gillespie would add his second goal of the period in the final minutes to seal the 6-2 final.
The game featured a physical edge, with penalties escalating in the third period, culminating in a series of coincidental minors for roughing and slashing. Calgary's Matthew Tucker was a wall in net, turning aside all 30 shots he faced for a shutout performance, while his counterpart, Marek Fisher, faced a relentless 41-shot barrage from the Stallions' attack. The victory was a complete team effort for Calgary, highlighted by multi-point nights from Elliott Wilson, Tripp Gillespie, Greg Milne, Cody Callison, and Kyson Trinh, showcasing the balanced scoring that proved too much for Island HC to handle.
