The Penticton Vees moved on to the second round of the playoffs, taking down the visiting Seattle Thunderbirds 6-3. Louie Wehmann and Jacob Kvasnicka led the way with two goals each, while Ryder Evers and Nolan Stevenson added single goals for the winners. Cameron Schmidt, Tai Riley, and Coster Dunn replied for the Thunderbirds.
Kelowna Rockets goaltender Harrison Boettiger was excellent early in the game, making 16 first period saves, at least four or five of which were difficult (34 stops overall), leading his team to a 5-1 game two, first round playoff victory over the visiting Kamloops Blazers. Tij Iginla again led the way with two goals, while Vojtech Cihar, Jacob Henderson and Carson Wetsch chipped in singles. JP Hurlbert replied for the Blazers.
This was such a close game in more aspects than just the score. Other than overtime, both teams scored all their goals in the second period, had equal number of shots, and both scored a special teams goal. A costly mistake in overtime allowed Prince George on the power play and they took full advantage.
A bit of a low scoring and low energy game that had Calgary out to an early start, scoring the first two goals of the game. Brandon made a push, but the sound defensive game from the Hitmen tonight proved to be too much for Brandon to overcome.

Val d’Or Foreurs started the game ready to go. Scoring three goals in the first and three goals in the second. They capitalized on their chances that were given to them early on in the game. Despite being outshot in every period, the Val d’Or Foreurs did a good job at creating higher-quality scoring chances.

Prince Albert controlled the pace in this game, they had sustained pressure for the majority of the game and ran into a hot goalie.

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. Notable performers on the evening included Timo Kazda (CHI) who posted three points (1G, 2A) and James Scantlebury (CHI), who netted the game winning goal, on the powerplay, with just over six minutes to play in regulation.
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.
