The U15 Phantom 309 set the tone early and never looked back, cruising to a decisive 5-2 victory over the Bar Down Beasts. The first period was a clinic in offensive pressure from the Phantoms, who built a commanding three-goal lead. Easton Black, wearing number 16, was the undeniable star of the show, opening the scoring just over eight minutes in with an assist from Hudson St. Amour. Jacob Sousa (9) and Black again, this time assisted by Tristan Chan (7), added goals in quick succession before the period ended, leaving the Beasts reeling.
The second period saw the Phantoms extend their lead further. Easton Black completed his impressive hat trick with an unassisted marker, showcasing his individual skill. The Bar Down Beasts finally found a response midway through the frame, as Owen Achtzener (13) and Xavier Mielke (18) scored just over six minutes apart, with Achtzener assisting on Mielke's goal to cut the deficit to 4-2. The Phantoms' momentum was briefly checked by a slashing penalty to Hanna Winczura (23), but they weathered the storm. Any hope of a Beasts comeback was extinguished in the third period when luke brake (24) scored for the Phantoms, with Black and St. Amour picking up their second assists of the night, sealing the 5-2 final.
While the goalie statistics for this contest were not tracked, the shot totals and final score tell the story of a game controlled by the Phantoms. Their offense, led by the dominant three-goal performance from Easton Black and multi-point nights from Hudson St. Amour and Damon Tavares, proved too much to handle. The Beasts' netminders faced a steady barrage, while the Phantoms' defense and goaltending held firm after conceding two in the second, shutting the door the rest of the way to secure a convincing win.
