The Aberdeen Wings hosted the Austin Bruins for the last games before the Holiday Break, and the last games of 2025. The Wings would come out strong for both games, but would take two unfortunate losses.

This goal would be assisted by Caden Lee and Jonathan Doucette. Following this goal, the Bruins would find themselves in the penalty box a few times, and at the 9:14 mark, Easton Edwards would extend the Wings lead with a Power Play goal assisted by Price Grimes and Gavin Reed. Before the period would end however, Austin would get their chance to get on the board when Siamion Marshchanok would find the back of the net. Both teams would go to their respective locker rooms with the Wings having a 2-1 lead.

In the second period, it would be all Austin as they would score four unanswered goals. To start, Alex Perrault would score within the first minute of the period, and getting his first goal of the season. Shortly after, the Wings would go on the penalty kill, and Gavin Hruza would score on the Power Play, giving Austin their official lead of the game. After a bit of back and forth action, EJ Paddington would then score extending the Bruins lead. After this goal, EJ Paddington would hit the Wings goaltender, which would lead to a fight between him and Charlie Burchfield. Even after that, and in hopes to liven up the benches, Price Grimes would drop the gloves with Austin Doyle as well. Unfortunately though, with just 50 seconds left remaining in the second, Connor Beckwith would score pushing their lead even further. The Bruins would have a 5-3 lead heading into the third period.

In the third period, there would be no additional scoring even though both teams would have a Power Play. With no additional scoring, Austin would have the 5-2 win on night one.

After, the Wings would get their chance on the Power Play, and Sam Scheetz would score a Power Play goal, again bringing the Wings within one yet again. As time was running out, the Wings would pull their goal tender as they were able to keep the puck in their offensive zone throughout the third period. Even though the Wings would have quite a few good chances to tie up the game, Siamion Marshchanok would send one into the empty net, and take the win for the Bruins yet again on night two.
