The 17U AAA HC Edmonton squad delivered a commanding performance, overwhelming the Titans Hockey Union with a decisive 7-2 victory. The game started with a flurry of special teams action, as Hudson Deren opened the scoring for Edmonton midway through the first period, assisted by Ryan Quintilio. The Titans answered back on the power play with a goal from Declan Benson, set up by Shepard Lehto and Athan Kyle. But Edmonton regained the lead before the period ended, with Greyson Howse capitalizing on another power play, again with help from the playmaking Ryan Quintilio. The first period set the tone, with Edmonton carrying a narrow lead but poised for a breakout.
That breakout came in a dominant second period where Edmonton blew the game open, outshooting the Titans 24-5. Ryan Quintilio scored the game-winning goal just 35 seconds into the period. Hudson Deren netted his second of the night, assisted by Noah Horvatis, before Logan Rowbotham and Gurshan Singh added even-strength tallies to extend the lead to 6-1. Gurshan Singh's goal was particularly notable, with an assist credited to goaltender Tristan Flegg, highlighting a period of complete team control for HC Edmonton.
The third period saw the Titans' Shepard Lehto score an early goal to make it 6-2, but any hope of a comeback was quickly extinguished. Edmonton's Noah Horvatis sealed the deal with a power-play goal late, assisted by Boston Matter and Hudson Deren, who finished with a three-point night. The game grew increasingly chippy down the stretch, with multiple roughing minors assessed in the final minutes. In the end, HC Edmonton's offensive explosion and a strong team-wide effort proved too much for the Titans, securing a convincing win on home ice.
