The Calgary Glaciers rode a dominant first period and a balanced scoring attack to a 4-2 victory over the Victoria Hockey Academy. From the opening puck drop, the Glaciers asserted their offensive will, unleashing a staggering 21 shots on goal in the first period alone against Victoria's Lauren Coppinger. While Coppinger stood tall to keep the game scoreless through twenty minutes, the relentless pressure set the tone. The dam finally broke in the second period when Calgary's Jewels Kerr, assisted by Caitlin Duncan and Ellie Meunier, capitalized on a power play at 17:29 to open the scoring. Victoria's Jane Mann answered back just before the midway point of the period, netting an even-strength goal with helpers from Addison Rutten and Isla Toronyi to knot the game at 1-1. However, Calgary's Greta Baldwin restored the lead with a crucial shorthanded goal at 2:46, assisted by Ilse Leyerzapf, sending the Glaciers into the final intermission with momentum.
The third period saw Calgary solidify their control. Hana Chalupova extended the lead to 3-1 just 1:46 into the frame, with Baldwin picking up an assist. Abigail Mills pushed the advantage to 4-1 at 6:20, with Maci Dueck and Ilse Leyerzapf earning the assists. Victoria showed a late spark as Jane Mann scored her second of the game just a minute later, again from Rutten and Toronyi, to cut the deficit to 4-2. Despite a late push that saw them match Calgary with 10 shots in the period, Victoria could not solve Glaciers' goalie Morgan Sloane again. The game was a penalty-filled affair, with 13 minors called between the two teams, but Calgary's special teams proved decisive, scoring once on the power play and adding a key shorthanded marker.
In the end, Calgary's offensive depth and a 42-27 shot advantage were too much for Victoria to overcome. Morgan Sloane earned the win in net for the Glaciers, while Jane Mann's two-goal effort was the bright spot for the Academy. The victory was a full-team effort for Calgary, with points coming from ten different players, showcasing the balanced attack that carried them to the win.
