Lewiston, ME - In the battle of league heavyweights, it was the MAINEiacs who walked away with 2 points doubling up the Val d'Or Foreurs 4-2. The game maintained a high intensity through 60 minutes and the 2,958 fans at the Colisée were treated to a playoff atmosphere.

In the first period, 16-year old Danick Paquette opened the scoring triggering a barrage of thousands of teddy bears that were launched onto the ice as part of the State Farm Teddy Toss. All bears were collected and will be distributed to area charities in time for the holidays. Pierre-Luc Faubert extended the MAINEiacs lead with his 18th on the season. Val d'Or would battle back Peter-James Corsi would tally his 5th of the year before the end of the opening frame.

In the second, Stefan Chaput would tip a Kevin Marshall point shot to regain the 2 goal lead. Val d'Or again would battle back as Alexandre Leduc would notch his 2nd goal of the year only a minute later. The insurance marker would come as Faubert would tally his second of the game and 19th on the season with the help of Crete and Marshall on the powerplay.

MAINEiacs 16-year old netminder Peter Delmas would record the win in a stellar performance having faced 29 shots.
