The Jr. Ooks stormed out of the gate and never looked back, delivering a commanding 7-2 victory over the Langley Leafs. The home team established their dominance early, with Elliya Klaus and Olivia Billsten forming a dynamic duo. Klaus opened the scoring just minutes into the game and completed a first-period hat trick, with Billsten assisting on all three of those goals. The Ooks' power play was lethal, converting their first opportunity when Klaus netted her third at the 1:00 mark of the opening frame. Despite taking a string of penalties themselves, the Ooks' defense and goaltender Maddox Mohr held firm, facing 27 shots and allowing only two goals to secure the win.
Langley showed resilience in the second period, breaking through on goals from Zoe Alook and Meeya Gerbrandt, assisted by Kaya Basanti, to cut the deficit to 4-2. However, any momentum was quickly snuffed out by Norah Ludlow, who restored the three-goal cushion with a crucial power-play goal, which stood as the game-winner. The physical nature of the contest was evident, with numerous penalties assessed, including a roughing minor to the Ooks' Kylie Bonnett on the very play that led to the opening goal and a major penalty to Zoe Papachristopoulos late in the third.
The final period sealed the deal for the Jr. Ooks as they put the game out of reach. Lauren McDiarmid capitalized on another power play, and Norah Ludlow added her second of the night less than a minute later, with assists from Kylie Bonnett and Abby Millar. While Langley's Nyla Sochan faced a barrage of 29 shots in net, the Ooks' offensive chemistry, particularly between Klaus, Billsten, and Clara Harms, was simply too much to handle. The comprehensive win showcased the Ooks' potent special teams and balanced scoring attack, leaving no doubt about the outcome from the very first period.
