RINK Hockey Academy Kelowna (0) vs Delta Hockey Academy Green (1) Female U18 Prep
Two of the best Female U18 Prep teams this season clashed in Delta this morning, with DHA Green hosting RINK Hockey Academy Kelowna in a rematch of the two team’s clash back on January 10. DHAG prevailed 5-2 on that day, and come Friday, they’d control the game again. Adie Schneider had a pair of assists in their last head-to-head clash, and through two periods on Saturday, it looked as if her lone goal could make the ultimate impact. The third period was controlled entirely by RHAK, who dictated the pace of play and spent long stretches in the offensive zone. However, at every turn, DHAG’s Mya Young (38/38) popped up to make the save. She’d stop all 18 of RHAK’s third-period efforts and stopped all 38 shots in total, leaving Young and Schneider the heroes of DHAG’s 1-0 win.
King’s Edgehill School (7) vs Mount Academy (4) East U18 Prep
Mount Academy’s East U18 Prep season picked back up Friday after two months off from CSSHL league play to face King’s Edgehill School who themselves returned to play on Thursday, losing 9-3 at the hands of Bourget College. Much of the game was spent with KES chasing Mount Academy in some way; MA scored early in the first period to take a lead, and once it slipped, they’d score twice early in the second to lead again. With Cohen Paul’s (2G) pair of goals leading the way, Mount led 3-2 heading toward the end of the second period. Grady Betts (3G, 1A) scored his second goal of the game late in the second to pull the game back to level terms heading into the third, but a quick goal from Noah Richard (1G, 2A) reestablished Mount Academy’s lead. It looked through the early stages like it was destined to be Mount Academy’s day, but in a flash, King’s Edgehill School grabbed and sprinted away with the game. Kasper Kossila tied the game at four before Betts completed his hat-trick on the powerplay to turn the game into a 5-4 KES lead. Liam Nash (1G, 1A) scored a crucial goal with less than three minutes left to extend the lead to 6-4 before Liam Befus (1G, 2A) tucked an empty-net goal to win a 7-4 thriller for King’s Edgehill School.
Ulysse Academie vs Bishop’s (5) College School (4) East U18 Prep
Ulysse Academie and Bishop’s College School played twice in the 2025 portion of this season. In their first game, back in early November, Ulysse prevailed 3-2, handing BCS just their second loss of the season at that point. When they rematched in early December, another razor-thin contest played out, this time ending 5-4 in Bishop’s favour. There are three head-to-head matchups between these two squads in January with Friday’s the first of their three games in less than two weeks. Fortunately for any fans keen on watching the following head-to-head matchup, Friday unfolded in a thrilling manner yet again, proving these two teams can’t play a boring game against one another. By the halfway mark of the first period, the game looked to be in Bishop’s control with their 2-0 lead earned through goals from Gavin Rusenstrom and Mavrik Legault. However, 59 seconds after BCS doubled up their lead, Maddox Guerin (2G) pulled a goal back with a shot that would, in retrospect, represent the game’s momentum changing hands. Now back within one, the rest of the first was all Ulysse, grabbing goals from Sam-Félix Poulin (1G, 1A) and Jordan Rancourt (1G, 1A). Guerin scored again early in the second prior to Alex Graveline’s (1G, 1A) 5-2 goal. BCS didn’t Goa way quietly with a pair of goals from Zach Jockers (2G) pulling them back within one by the halfway point of the third period. That’s as close as BCS could come, though, with Ulysse hanging on for a 5-4 win.
North Shore Warriors (2) vs Delta Hockey Academy (9) Black U15
The U15 North Shore Warriors squad doesn’t actually have a weekend with multiple games until February, with their first weekend of January providing the Warriors a back-to-back against the Yale Hockey Academy and Delta Hockey Academy White. Unfortunately for North Shore, neither of those games provided them a victory. The team’s last win came back on November 21, predating a nine-game slide that they carried into Friday. After 20 minutes, North Shore would have felt okay about their position in the game thus far. They led through Abel Lindsay (1G, 1A), let Delta score twice, and tied the game through Ethan Naude. The first was the closest period of the game, though. DHAB turned up the pressure, outshooting North Shore 23-1 in the third period alone and scoring seven straight goals led by Wynn Carey’s (2G, 3A) five point outing.
Delta Hockey Academy (5) vs North Shore Warriors (2) U18 Prep
Delta Hockey Academy’s U18 Prep squad had a red-hot start to the season that tailed off near the end of 2025, having lost four of their last five heading into Friday’s game against the North Shore Warriors. It looked like it might not be there day against North Shore after Sean Murphy and Vlad Ibragimov scored, the latter coming five minutes into the third period to establish a 2-1 North Shore lead. The Warriors lead as the game marched toward the final seven minutes, but following Peter Banicevic’s equalizer, Delta found a spark. Treyce Pavlic scored twice following the game-tying goal and Koshan Saggu (1G, 1A) scored to give DHA four goals in the last seven minutes of the game and an eventual 5-2 win.
Pacific Coast Hockey Academy (3) vs BWC Academy (4) U18 Prep
The U18 Prep squads of Pacific Coast Hockey Academy and BWC Academy faced one another back on December 19, not long ago based on the team’s schedules to now. PCHA prevailed 7-3 on home ice on that day, but to start 2026, BWC churned out two excellent performances. A tight 3-2 loss at the hands of a very capable RHA Kelowna squad was followed by a win over Okanagan Hockey Academy the following day. PCHA hadn’t played since their win over BWC, a win that marked their fourth in a row to end the calendar year. PCHA scored thrice in the first period alone to take the lead over BWC, but every time the Sea Devils scored, BWC managed to respond with one of their own. The game settled down after a high-event first-period, but before it did, Elias Papadatos’ third goal of the season for BWC tied the game at three less than 80 seconds into the second. Following that, the two teams battled, grinding a scoreless game toward the third period. The game’s final powerplay produced the game’s final goal, with Declan Iacoviello setting up Luca Martyniuk (1G, 1A) on the back door to deflect home the game-winner for BWC, lifting them over PCHA 4-3 in a thriller.
Rothesay Netherwood School (2) vs Bourget College (0) East U18 Prep
Friday’s Featured Game was a tight affair with RNS’s return to CSSHL action. Quebec Remparts prospect Dylan Pelletier (2G) would connect in the first off a 3-on-1, blasting home a great feed from William Cole. From here on out, the offense on either side struggled to generate chances. Those few that got past were all thwarted by RNS’s Marty Hackenberg (35/35) and Bourget’s Zachary Botelho (23/24). Botelho would make some key stops in the third, but his team in front of him could not find an answer for Hackenberg as he stopped all 35 attempts by the Voltigeurs. Pelletier would find the empty net on a hail mary attempt from his own end, cementing the victory for RNS.
Pacific Coast Hockey Academy (1/OT) vs St. George’s School (0) U17 Prep
Generally, when observing such a low-scoring game, there are two things that stand out massively: the goaltending and the special teams. PCHA’s Rio Manhas (32/32) and St. George’s Joffrey Chan (28/29) both produced incredibly solid performances in an attempt to one-up their opposite counterpart with both shutting out their opponents over the sixty minutes. Heading into the final stretch of the third period, there was nothing to separate the two teams, with PCHA’s penalty kill killing off three St. George’s power plays in the third period to keep the game tied. The Sea Devils’ penalty kill was successful on all seven opposition powerplay attempts in the game, and after SGS took a penalty late in the third period, PCHA finally broke through in overtime. It was the PCHA powerplay that finally sealed the deal for them, with captain Owen Hyde taking a pass at the side of the net and sliding the puck through Chan’s five-hole to give his team the 1-0 overtime win and help Manhas to a 32-save shutout.
Okanagan Hockey Academy (4) vs North Shore Warriors (2) Female U18 Prep
Okanagan Hockey Academy Female earned a hard-fought 4–2 road win over the North Shore Warriors with the help of their special-teams in a tight matchup. After North Shore opened the scoring through Madison Brazeau (1G), OHA responded shorthanded with Makenna Brassard (1G, 1A) finishing a well-timed play set up by Audrina Freeman (2A), setting the tone for the rest of the game. Shea Warnick (1G) gave OHA their first lead of the game in the second period before Gia Carella (1G) tied it back up on the power play, but the visitors took control in the third as Lauren West (1G) capitalized with the extra skater advantage and Lylah Dietz (1G) sealed the result with an empty-net goal late. In net, Maive Gosselin Berg stood tall with 25 saves, outduelling Emma Ward, as OHA’s disciplined push and timely scoring proved to be the difference.
Yale Hockey Academy (12) vs STAR Hockey Academy (1) U15
Yale Hockey Academy put on a commanding, wire-to-wire performance, overwhelming STAR Hockey Academy in a decisive 12–1 victory. Yale struck early and often, with Matthew Tang (1G) opening the floodgates before Vanik Virk (1G, 2A) and Brady Barrett (2G, 1A) kept the momentum rolling in a four-goal first period that left STAR chasing the game. The offense only intensified in the second, as Gavin Bruinsma (1G, 2A) drove play through the middle of the ice, RJ Livingson (1G, 2A) and Max Nicholson (1G) added to their goal totals of the year, and Emmett Rumbold (2G, 2A) began a multi-point night that showcased Yale’s depth scoring. After STAR briefly spoiled the shutout through Bodhi Booth (1G), Yale slammed the door in the third with more contributions from Rumbold, Barrett, and Owen Dumansky (1G).
RINK Hockey Academy Winnipeg (14) vs Notre Dame Hounds (2) U15
RINK Hockey Academy Winnipeg wasted no time asserting control and never looked back, rolling to a dominant 14–2 victory over the Notre Dame Hounds. The tone was set early as Brock Labelle (2G, 2A) and Brantley Church (1G, 1A) struck within the opening minute, kickstarting a seven-goal first period that also featured goal scoring from Ryan Koenig (1G, 1A), Maddox Rinn (2G), Hunter Lang (2G), and Jackson Lussier (1G). Jax Fellner (3G, 2A) was a constant driver of offense, finding soft ice and finishing with authority, while Yuto Agapito (4A) quietly orchestrated play with poise and vision. RINK Winnipeg showed no let-up in the second as Cooper Greenham (1G, 1A) and Max Manaigre (1G, 1A) added to the surge, before Labelle capped the scoring late in the third to punctuate the performance. In goal, Cooper Beardy turned aside 20 of 22 shots to steady things defensively.
Wenatchee Wild Hockey Academy (3) vs Yale Hockey Academy (5) U18 Prep
Yale Hockey Academy leaned on depth, discipline, and timely finishing to secure a 5–3 win over Wenatchee Wild Hockey Academy in a back-and-forth contest on Friday. Yale opened the scoring late in the first period through Chris Kokkoris (1G), before Wenatchee answered quickly as Anderson Carter (1G) converted off a feed from Jake Collins (1G, 1A) to even things up. The second period swung the game in Yale’s favour as Alex Ostrovskyy (1G, 1A) struck unassisted, followed by Gunho Choi (1G) finishing a on a breakaway set up by Ronin Martin (1A). Wenatchee pushed back early in the third with Collins cashing in off passes from Seth Banner (1A) and Elijah Schneggenburger (1A), but Yale responded under pressure with Matteo Di Stefano (1G) scoring into the empty net before Dawson Brown (1G) kept the Wild within reach late. Any comeback hopes were sealed in the final seconds as Seth Castronuovo (1G) finished off a play from Ostrovskyy (1G, 1A), while Parker Kulmatycki stood tall in goal with 37 saves to backstop Yale to the victory.
Wenatchee Wild Hockey Academy (1) vs Yale Hockey Academy (6) U17 Prep
Yale Hockey Academy U17 Prep put on a dominant, wire-to-wire performance Friday night, overwhelming Wenatchee Wild Hockey Academy 6–1 behind a massive 78–14 shot advantage. Yale struck early, opening the scoring just 1:27 in as Matteo Zenone (1G) finished a play set up by Matthew Zaitchikov (1G, 1A) and Kaleb Gauthier (1A), before Ryder Buick (2G) took over the first period with a pair of goals, including one off a feed from Dominic Ponte (1G, 2A). Jackson Beggs (1G) added to the first-period surge, again with Ponte (1G, 2A) involved, as Yale raced out to a 4–0 lead after twenty minutes. Wenatchee briefly found life early in the second through Kason Nicholson (1G), but that momentum was quickly shut down when Ponte (1G, 2A) answered for Yale minutes later. The finishing touch came in the third as Zaitchikov (1G, 1A) capped a strong offensive night with his second point.
Calgary International Hockey Academy (5) vs OHA Edmonton (7) U15
OHA Edmonton completed a dramatic comeback to edge Calgary International Hockey Academy 7–5 in a back-and-forth matchup that swung repeatedly before a decisive third period. OHA opened the scoring midway through the first with Kingston Ireland (1G, 2A), but Calgary answered late in the frame through Emerson Constable (1G, 1A). The second period saw momentum shift multiple times, with Hayden Condie (1G) restoring OHA’s lead before Calgary struck twice on the power play via Kirin Chan (1G) and Gavin Worobey (1G, 1A), only for OHA to respond with goals from Kole Imlay (2G, 1A) and later tiebreakers as the game remained tight. In the third, OHA took control as Cohen Courchesne (1G, 2A), Max Holland (1G), Marek Fetter (1G, 1A), and Imlay (2G, 1A) combined for four goals in a dominant stretch that proved too much to overcome, despite a late Calgary push capped by Rhett Davis (1G). With key contributions across the lineup and timely scoring when it mattered most, OHA Edmonton secured the 7–5 victory in an entertaining U15 showdown.
Pilot Mound Hockey Academy (4) vs RINK Hockey Academy Winnipeg (5/OT) U18 Prep
For the third time this season, Pilot Mound Hockey Academy and RINK Hockey Academy Winnipeg needed extra time, and once again it was RINK finding the final answer, edging PMHA 5–4 in overtime. Pilot Mound came out sharp, striking twice in the opening frame with a power-play marker from Casey Silverman (1G) and a finish from Hector Kapitonov (1G, 1A), both set up by a dominant night from Knox Burton (1G, 3A), who continues to pace PMHA’s offense with 26 points on the season. RINK Winnipeg responded quickly, as Christian Pitz (1G, 1A) and Markus Knaub (1G, 2A) swung momentum back before the end of the first, then carried it into the second with goals from Atticus Cruz (1G) and Athens Shingoose (2G, 1A), who quietly keeps climbing RINK’s scoring chart. Facing the loss late, Pilot Mound showed resilience, getting third-period goals from Kolton Bigras (1G) and a dramatic last-second equalizer by Burton (1G, 3A) to force overtime, mirroring the drama of their previous one-goal meetings. In OT, Shingoose (2G, 1A) sealed it with his second of the night, to give RHA Winnipeg the win and another narrow victory in a head-to-head matchup that continues to be defined by fine margins and late-game theatrics.
OHA Edmonton (5) vs Indigenous Sports Academy (2) U17 Prep
OHA Edmonton U17 Prep continued their strong run of form, with a convincing 5–2 victory over Indigenous Sports Academy, outshooting ISA 52–30 and controlling the pace from start to finish. OHA set the tone early with first-period goals from Jaxon Moss (1G) and Hudson Blair (1G, 1A), the latter coming on the power play, before Chayse Fedoriuk (1G, 1A) added to the lead midway through the second. ISA briefly pushed back through Maddon L’Hommecourt (1G), but OHA answered decisively, with Clark Schneider (1G, 1A) striking on the man advantage in the third and Christopher Peterson (1G) providing the insurance marker. Ryder Fiddler (1G), ISA’s top goal scorer, added a late tally, but it was too little, too late against an OHA group that has now won both meetings this season by a combined 12–4 scoreline. Between the pipes, Adrien Brochu turned aside 28 shots to anchor a composed performance, while Holden Fauchon stopped 47 shots in a busy night.
Northern Alberta Xtreme (6) vs Notre Dame Hounds (2) U17 Prep
Northern Alberta Xtreme flipped the script after a slow start, scoring five unanswered goals to pull away for a convincing 6–2 win over Notre Dame Hounds and earn their second straight victory in the season series. After Notre Dame jumped ahead with first-period goals from Luke White (1G, 1A) and Matthew Boekelder (1G), NAX settled in and began to tilt the ice, sparked by Kayton Reinders (2G), who answered early and capped the night with a late empty-netter. Nash Weyland (2G, 1A) took over in the second period with a pair of goals that erased the deficit, while Seth Kshyk (1G, 1A), the team’s leading scorer now up to 18 points, put NAX ahead for good on the power play early in the third. Barrett Fogolin (1G) added another man-advantage marker as part of a dominant final frame where NAX outshot Notre Dame heavily, and Lenox Alanen was rock-solid when needed, stopping 20 of 22 shots.
Calgary International Hockey Academy vs South Alberta Hockey Academy U17 Prep
South Alberta Hockey Academy U17 Prep continued their dominance over Calgary International Hockey Academy this season, edging CIHA 3–2 to complete a perfect 3–0 run in the matchup and tighten their grip near the top of the standings. SAHA set the tone early with Cooper Craven (1G) opening the scoring, before Nixon Bettenson (1G) buried a power-play goal in the second to restore the lead after Max Ranseth (1G, 1A) pulled CIHA even late in the frame. The third period belonged to special teams, as Liam Green (1G) snapped home the eventual game-winner on the power play, extending his strong offensive stretch, while CIHA pushed back late with Rylan Wood (1G, 1A) cutting the deficit to one with under two minutes remaining. Despite the late pressure, Chase Nielson (31/33) stood tall with 31 saves to close it out, outdueling Colton Lutz (41/44) , who faced a heavy workload with 44 shots against. SAHA once again showed their depth and ability to win tight games against a CIHA squad that continues to generate offense but hasn’t yet found the formula to solve their southern rivals this season.
Delta Hockey Academy Black (6) vs Okanagan Hockey Academy Black (1) Female U18 Prep
Delta Black came out the gates swinging in the first period, collecting four unanswered goals in the opening 10 minutes of play, highlighted by Jojo Mailhot’s first of the season in grand fashion. Emily Kempers would stop the bleeding for OHA Black later in the first, but the mountain was far to climb. Delta Black would add another two through the next pair of periods as Lucy Williams (1G, 1A) and Alex Wu added the extra insurance. Eszter Schober (31/32) would collect 31 saves in the Delta Black victory.
Okanagan Hockey Academy (6) vs BWC Academy (4) U17 Prep
An early strike from Gage Mark (3G) would put OHA ahead early. However, a clinical passing play finished off by Kayden Pratt (3G) would put BWC Academy right back into contention. To finish off the first, Mark would bury his second of the evening on the powerplay. In the second, BWC Academy’s powerplay would strike again, this time seeing Ryan Fox (1G, 3A) as the beneficiary. Just under a minute later, Jaxson Bartsch (2G, 1A) would wire one home off the draw, restoring OHA’s lead. Just before the end of the frame, Mark would cap off his hat-trick, going five hole for his 10th of the season. Bennett Wheatley would extend OHA’s lead in the third, but a late push from BWC Academy and their powerplay excellence would threaten OHA’s advantage. Pratt would put home another two, completing his hat-trick and bringing BWC Academy to within one in the final minutes of play. However, Bartsch would pot the EN goal, sealing up a late night 6-4 victory for OHA.
