The Victoria Hockey Academy stormed into Langley and delivered a commanding 8-4 victory, powered by a relentless offensive attack that saw them outshoot the Langley Leafs by a staggering 44-17 margin. The game's tone was set early, as Victoria's Avery Loudoun opened the scoring just 19 seconds into the contest, assisted by Starlee Pincombe and Isla Toronyi. Langley's Ella Jane Viveiros, playing as an affiliate, answered back midway through the period to knot the score, but Victoria's Maddison Ruddick restored the lead before the first intermission. The second period saw the visitors pull away, with Isla Toronyi and Jane Mann scoring early to build a 4-1 lead. Langley's Meeya Gerbrandt managed to cut the deficit with an unassisted effort, but a crucial power-play goal from Reese Simons, assisted by Quinn Fowler and Starlee Pincombe, proved to be the game-winner and gave Victoria a 5-2 lead heading into the final frame.
Despite the deficit, the Langley Leafs showed fight in the third period. Meeya Gerbrandt netted her second of the night early, assisted again by Ekam Pandher, to make it 5-3. However, the game was ultimately decided by special teams and Victoria's depth. The Academy capitalized on a power play with Addison Rutten scoring, and Asha Vashisht added an even-strength marker to extend the lead to 7-3. Langley's Ella Jane Viveiros scored her second on the power play late, but Victoria's Quinn Fowler sealed the deal with an even-strength goal to complete the 8-4 rout. The penalty box was busy all night, with Langley taking seven minors to Victoria's three, a disparity that allowed Victoria's potent power play, which scored twice, to control the game's momentum.
While the goalie statistics were not tracked, the shot totals tell the story of Victoria's dominance in the crease. Facing only 17 shots, the Victoria netminder had a relatively quiet night, while the Langley goaltender was under constant siege, facing 44 shots from a deep and balanced Victoria attack. Standout performances included Victoria's Isla Toronyi and Jane Mann, who each had a goal and an assist, and Langley's duo of Meeya Gerbrandt (2 goals, 1 assist) and Ella Jane Viveiros (2 goals), who provided nearly all of the home team's offense. In the end, Victoria's offensive pressure and disciplined play proved too much for Langley to overcome.
