In a display of pure offensive domination, the Alberta Bears routed the Dangle Berries by a staggering 17-0 final score. From the opening puck drop, it was clear that the Bears had come to play a different brand of hockey. They set the tone immediately in the first period, pouring on an incredible 12 shots while the Dangle Berries managed zero. The scoring barrage began early, with Kristers Ziedins (#4) opening the floodgates at 15:21, with assists from Christopher Cirone (#19) and Jake Boyce (#16). Before the first intermission, the Bears had piled on four more goals, including a pair from Matteus Garcia (#96) and contributions from Jake Boyce and Christopher Cirone, staking them to a commanding 5-0 lead.
The second period offered no respite for the hapless Dangle Berries. The Alberta Bears offense only grew more ferocious, launching 19 more shots on goal. Christopher Cirone netted a short-handed goal at 15:37, and then added another at 10:36 to complete his hat trick early. The Bears’ special teams were clicking as well, with Micah de Leon (#13) notching a power-play goal at 7:19. By the time the horn sounded for the second intermission, Jake Boyce and Wyatt Beacham (#98) had each added to the tally, pushing the lead to an insurmountable 10-0, and the Dangle Berries’ lone penalty of the night—a hooking call on Brayden Anderson (#2) at 9:18—did little to slow the onslaught.
The third period was simply a continuation of the same story. The Bears refused to let up, registering 22 shots and scoring seven more goals. Jake Boyce and Jordan Clarke (#9) each found the back of the net twice in the final frame. On the other end, the Dangle Berries’ goalie, Roman Chau (#3), faced a staggering 53 shots in total, a relentless barrage. While goalie-specific saves aren't formally tracked here, it’s clear he was under siege all night long, with no help from an offense that only managed three shots total. The Bears’ Ryland Olson (#90) had the easiest shutout of his career, needing to make just three saves to earn the win. This was a complete and utter statement game from the Alberta Bears, a thorough dismantling from face-off to final buzzer.
