In a game that was technically a meaningless game 68 for both teams, the visiting Penticton Vees beat the Kelowna Rockets 5-0. The Vees scored twice in the first period on goals from Ethan Weber on the power-play and Mateo Dani’s. That was followed up by goals from Doogan Peterson, Diego Johnson and Brittan Alstead to round out the scoring. Ethan McCallum got the shut out win in the Vees net.
Tight game in first period 0-0. London broke it open in second period with 4 goals. Last game between these two teams was very physical and some suspension still carried over. Guelphs PP struggles at 16% and never capitalized on there opportunities. Better game than score dictated.
Despite the score, this game was a lot closer than it suggests. It was an explosive third period that the Blazers were able to put together that really opened this game up. Before that, both teams traded goals that turned into a one goal game. The difference was the top players for the Blazers showed up.
Red Deer scored four goals in the first period, literally winning the game in the first twenty minutes. They sat back the next two periods, providing half the amount of shots and offense and played a real defensive style structured game. The Hurricanes provided a late push towards the end of the third period, but it was just too little too late.
Neutral Zone was in attendance for this USHL matchup between the Waterloo Black Hawks and the Chicago Steel at Fox Valley Ice Arena, in Geneva, Illinois. Chicago defeated Waterloo by a score of 3-2.

The first playoff game played in Lahti saw the home team Pelicans slightly better in the first two periods, but the visiting team HPK was more productive. In the third period, HPK took control of the game and deservedly secured the win.
The hometown Kelowna Rockets played a solid 60 Minutes, resulting in a 4-1 victory over the Kamloops Blazers. Goaltender Harrison Boettiger was good when he needed to be early on making several key stops. The Rockets got goals from Tij Iginla, Shane Smith, Keith McInnis and Mazden Leslie. The loan Blazers marker came off the stick of Josh Evaschesen.
After going down three goals to one in the third period, the Sherbrooke Phoenix found a way to claw back and dominate the next two periods of this game. A bit of a late start for the Phoenix after the Sagueneens top line did some real damage, but they were able to shut them down and create some momentum themselves as the game went on.

This is such a close game that needed overtime and a shootout to decide the winner. Both teams went scoreless on the power play, showing a defensive effort throughout the depth in each of their lineups. This game was about who was going to break first, and unfortunately, the Broncos early penalties created some momentum for the Warriors and they capitalized on that momentum, but more importantly, were able to sustain it throughout the game.
The visiting Victoria Royals were no match for the Kelowna Rockets on this night as they were down 4-1 after one period and 7-2 after two with a final score of 9-2.

Goaltender Josh Banini made 28 saves to earn the win for the Rockets.

This game was dominated by special teams, with the first three goals of the night being scored on the power play. With eight total power plays on the night, Moncton capitalized on two of them, giving them momentum at crucial points of the game. Another big difference was the Wildcats best players came to play.
The Soo Greyhounds visited the Flint Firebirds in a tightly contested matchup. Both teams traded chances throughout the game but were unable to settle things in regulation.

This game had some intensity…a hard hitting chippy affair as both these teams could be playoff opponents with this game finishing with the Rockets prevailing 5-2. The Rockets had five different goal scorers but again it was again Tig Iginla leading the way for the Rockets with a goal and three assists. Shane Smith, Ryan Oothoudt, Keith McInnis and Carson Wetsch rounded out the scoring. The Chiefs got goals from Ossie McIntyre and Chase Harrington.
Charlottetown should have won this game tonight after outshooting the Sea Dogs two to one. After almost putting fifty shots on net, they out chanced, out created, and out played St. John’s tonight. A couple of defensive lapses kept the game closer than it should have been.
The young London team were overmatched vs a deep Windsor line-up. Windsor stayed out of the box and played a dominant game 5 on 5 with extended cycles and zone time. Windsor veterans Liam Greentree, Anthony Spellacy, and Jack Nesbitt were strong in this one controlled the offensive tempo in a 6-1 blowout.
