The AllStars Comets stormed to a decisive 7-3 victory over the U11 Grizzlies in a game defined by relentless offensive pressure. The tone was set early, as the Comets outshot the Grizzlies 20-13 in the opening period alone. Despite the shot disparity, the Grizzlies struck first when Gavin Palmer, assisted by Rowan Oscroft, found the net early at 15:44. The Comets' response was swift and powerful. Just over two minutes later, Caden MacLeod tied the game, with assists from Ava Legault and Avery Fulks. Fulks, who would have a busy night in the penalty box, then scored a goal of his own less than a minute later, with Ryan Rodriguez and MacLeod providing the helpers, giving the Comets a lead they would never relinquish.
The second period was a masterclass in Comets' execution, as they poured in four goals to break the game open. Concord Lee, assisted by Dyer Quan, started the onslaught. Caden MacLeod netted his second of the night, and Ava Legault capitalized on a shorthanded opportunity to extend the lead. The Grizzlies showed a brief spark when Warner Klaus scored off a feed from Léandro Dutra, but the Comets' Ethan Lyons answered right back before the period ended. The physical play picked up as well, with the Grizzlies' Ayaan Purewal taking a double-minor for high-sticking at the period's end, while the Comets' Avery Fulks served his second penalty of the game.
The final frame saw the Grizzlies' Rowan Oscroft score to cut into the deficit, with Solomon Lerner and Ayaan Purewal earning assists. However, any hope of a comeback was extinguished when the Comets' Tate Mundt scored to restore the four-goal cushion. The game concluded with a flurry of minor penalties, including one to the Grizzlies' Landyn Lesyk in the final seconds. While official save statistics were not tracked, the final shot totals tell the story of Comets' dominance, as they consistently generated more chances. Oliver Grande backstopped the Comets to the win, while Will Turner faced a heavy barrage in the Grizzlies' net in a tough-luck loss.
