Game Story
Team White got out to the hot start with camp invite Lucas Muenchrath tallying in the early stages of the first period. Just under four minutes later, the light side added to its advantage when Gary Haden found the back of the net. Blue got on the board before the end of the frame when Dalton Ossman tipped Brendan Mark's point shot past Ben Laidlaw. Team White's Braydon Buziak was the story of the middle frame. The 17-year old beat Blue defencemen on two occasions with slick dekes to get in alone on the goaltender. Garrett Szeremley scored for Team Blue to leave the count at 4-2 for White after forty minutes. Haden picked up his second of the contest midway through the third to put White up by three. That goal rounded out the scoring for a 5-2 Team White victory.
