The Avalanche delivered a dominant performance, cruising to an 11-1 victory over the U9 Bulldogs in a game defined by relentless offensive pressure. From the opening face-off, the Avalanche established control, unleashing a staggering 40 shots in the first period alone. They were rewarded early when Magnus Weatherald opened the scoring, assisted by Toby Chan and Jacob Caputo. Theo Swap doubled the lead shortly after, with Deacon Jagger and goalie Leo Small picking up the helpers. The Bulldogs struggled to generate chances, managing only 6 shots in the period, and their task grew harder when Bishop Roque took a tripping penalty midway through.
The second period saw the Avalanche continue their onslaught. Henry Szaszkiewicz scored his first of the game early on, assisted by Huxton Small. The Bulldogs managed to find a brief moment of respite as London Stone broke through for their lone goal, assisted by Roque and Robbie Gates, to make it 3-1. However, any hope of a comeback was quickly extinguished. Szaszkiewicz netted his second of the night, and Isaac Mcwatt added another, with Szaszkiewicz himself earning an assist to cap a three-point period. The Bulldogs' Mack Priestner took a slashing penalty, but the Avalanche power play was largely unnecessary given their even-strength dominance.
The final frame was a clinic in finishing, as the Avalanche poured in five more goals to seal the lopsided win. Kane Cloutier, Magnus Weatherald, and Henry Szaszkiewicz all found the net, with Szaszkiewicz completing a hat-trick and a five-point night. William Wass and Toby Chan rounded out the scoring, with Chan netting two quick goals in the final two minutes. In net, Leo Small was scarcely tested, facing only 6 shots to earn the win, while the Bulldogs' Landon Carlson faced a barrage of 40 shots in a tough outing. The story of the game was written by the Avalanche's top line, with Szaszkiewicz, Chan, and Caputo orchestrating a nearly unstoppable attack from start to finish.
