The Alberta Bears delivered a masterclass in offensive hockey, cruising to an emphatic 11-0 victory over the U13 Wolves Black in a one-sided affair. From the opening puck drop, the Bears established complete control, outshooting their opponents 23-7 in the first period alone. The scoring started early and never relented. Wyatt Beacham got the party started for the Bears, netting the first goal midway through the first period with helpers from Ezra Barnes and Lucas Mcgeachy. Grayson Finley followed up just minutes later to make it 2-0, setting the tone for a long night for Wolves goaltender Bentley Pierce. The Bears' attack was relentless and well-distributed, with the Wolves struggling to generate any sustained pressure in response.
The second period saw the Bears extend their lead despite taking a pair of minor penalties for interference and hooking. Liam Morrissey and Ewan Rowe each found the back of the net, and Wyatt Beacham added his second of the game, pushing the lead to 5-0. The third period turned into a full-blown offensive explosion for Alberta, who poured in six more goals. Liam Morrissey and Carmelo Cirone each scored twice in the final frame, with Cirone completing a hat-trick with goals at the seven, two, and one-minute marks. Micah de Leon and Ezra Barnes also tallied, showcasing the Bears' incredible depth. For the Wolves, the lone bright spot was a penalty kill after a tripping call to Michael Katua, but they were otherwise overwhelmed, unable to solve Bears netminder Ryland Olson, who earned a quiet shutout with seven saves.
This was a definitive team win for the Alberta Bears, highlighted by multi-point performances from several players. Carmelo Cirone’s hat-trick and assist led the charge, while Ewan Rowe and Wyatt Beacham each contributed a goal and multiple helpers to the cause. The Bears' puck movement and finishing were clinical throughout. For the U13 Wolves Black, it was a tough outing where goaltender Bentley Pierce faced a barrage of 23 shots. The team will look to regroup defensively after a game where they were simply outmatched by a faster, more skilled opponent from start to finish.
