The GOATS delivered a staggering performance, overwhelming the Kraken U13 squad with a 14-1 victory in a game that was decided almost from the opening faceoff. The home team set the tone early, unleashing a relentless 26-shot barrage in the first period alone while holding the Kraken to just 7 shots. Despite taking two first-period penalties, including a bench minor for too many men, The GOATS' penalty kill was a weapon, producing two shorthanded goals. Layken Bodnar, assisted by Hadi Jaffery, opened the scoring while down a man, and Greyden Girard added another shorthanded tally just before the period ended. The Kraken's lone bright spot came from Connor Lyons, who found the net to briefly make it 2-1, but Bauer Pridmore answered with a late goal to restore the two-goal lead and begin his incredible night.
Any hope for a Kraken comeback was extinguished in a second-period onslaught. The GOATS poured in seven unanswered goals, turning the game into a showcase for their offensive depth. Bauer Pridmore was simply unstoppable, completing a four-goal game with two more markers in the frame. Jack Primrose and Oliver Anderson also found the back of the net, while Cace Dobson and Hadi Jaffery contributed to the scoring parade. The Kraken's goalie, Benjamin Ablethorpe-Domingues, faced an impossible task, ultimately being charged with 14 goals against on 26 shots as his team was pinned in its own end for the vast majority of the contest.
The third period saw The GOATS add three more for good measure, with Laith DeChamplain-Pipella, Jack Primrose with his second, and Oliver Anderson with his second all lighting the lamp. At the other end of the ice, The GOATS' netminder Ryker Sorrell was scarcely tested but perfect when called upon, stopping all 7 shots he faced for a solid win. The final score was a testament to The GOATS' overwhelming puck possession and firepower, as they shared the scoring wealth with nine different players registering a point in a commanding team victory that left no doubt about their dominance on this night.
