Colby Robak ended the Pats Cinderella nigh by scoring the o/t winner. Jordan Eberle was named the game's 1st star with 2 goals and 5 assists.

The first game was early in the first weekend of the season. Andrew Hayes stole the show with a 25 save shutout in a 2-0 Brandon win. The Pats were still without Colten Teubert, Matt Delahey and Jordan Eberle but Damien Ketlo was solid between the pipes himself stopping 32 Brandon shots.
