Ace 7, World Orphans 2
Ace opened the night with a dominant win over the Orphans, extending their streak to three straight. With the Orphans’ regular goalie out, Francis Forte stepped in once again, but Ace’s offense was too much to handle.

Nelson & Company 3, HollowBrook Dental 1
Nelson continued their strong form with a disciplined 3-1 win over HollowBrook. Solid defensive play and smart puck movement kept HollowBrook chasing all night.

OS Offices 7, Platinum Group 5
In a high-scoring battle, OS Offices outlasted Platinum Group 7-5. Both teams traded goals, but OS pulled away late with clutch scoring and strong net play.

Velodrome 5, Triple J 1
