Sadovia has played three WHL games already with Tri-City.

It was a battle of the last two U17 Prep Western Champions as RHA Kelowna came in as the defending champs, with CIHA having won in 2024.

After a shot in warmup broke the glass the start of this one was delayed a full hour. Once the action did start it was a slow start for both teams, as it appeared they were feeling each other out. RHA Kelowna would breakthrough late in the period as Cole Hamakawa (1G, 1A) took a backdoor pass from Kaustav Pradeep and fired it past a sprawling Colton Lutz (28/31). RHA Kelowna would have a chance to double the lead with just seconds remaining but Lutz would make one of the best saves of playoffs to keep it a 1-0 game heading into the second.

Like the first, the second started a bit slow until Charlie Schmitt tipped home a Baden Glithero point shot after an RHA Kelowna face-off win to Lutz’s right.

RKA Kelowna held a comfortableÌý 2-0 lead until late in the second when Keegan Brown put home a rebound after a scramble in front to get CIHA on the board with four minutes left in the period. A lucky bounce would see the puck deflect to Chale Morgan, who made no mistake firing it past Dylan Mingo (33/35) into the empty net, tying the game just one minute later.

In the third RHA Kelowna would re-take the lead as Aiden Andrews took a great feed in front to put one into the empty net, giving his team the lead with 12:20 left to play. CIHA would make a late push but Mingo would make some big saves and Mason Alexander added a late empty netter as RHA Kelowna claimed the 4-2 win.

Notre Dame took an early lead thanks to a power play goal by Matthew Boekelder 1:47 in. Lukas Lundgren doubled the lead midway through the period as he scored his second goal of the playoffs. Darwin Ketch (2G, 1A) would get Shawnigan Lake on the board 2:18 later as the defenseman scored his fourth goal of the West Championships.

Matthew Steele (1G, 2A) tied the game 12:29 into the second as he combined with Case Bartley (3A) and Matthew Morris (1G, 1A) for a pretty passing play that lead to Steele taping the puck into the empty net. However, Notre Dame would need just 22 seconds to respond as Reg Huebner beat Liam Chamberlain (24/28) for his third, giving them a 3-2 lead heading into the third.

Spencer Currie would tie the game briefly as he scored his third of the Championships 4:41 into the third. Notre Dame would once again have an answer as Ethan Schwartz (1G, 1A) put them back in front 2:16 later. Shawnigan would tie the game on another three way passing play between Morris, Steele and Bartley, as Morris finished it off with the back door tap-in.

This time Notre Dame would not restore their lead, and it was a Ketch point shot that beat Caden Smith (23/28) to put Shawnigan in front for the first time with 8:19 left to play.

Notre Dame would pull their goal with a little less than two minutes to play, but Egan Kenny would add an empty netter with 47 seconds left to secure the Shawnigan victory.

This was Shawnigan’s fifth ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ Western Championship, having won U17 Prep Division I four times, most recently in 2018/19.

It was the visitors who would lead after 20 as defenseman Ben Miller beat Holter Karpiak (28/30) with a point shot on the power play 7:39 in.

Delta Black would ramp up the intensity in the second with Zach Giles (1G, 1A) tying the game 7:02 into the period. Kevin Goodale would give them the lead with a power play goal 1:52 later on a seeing eye point shot that found the back of the net on Brynley Nault (36/41). Delta Black would take a two-goal lead into the break as Stefano Trentalance fired home a pack door pass exactly 10 minutes after Goodale had put them ahead.

OHA Edmonton showed signs of life early in the third as Marek Fetter scored 51 seconds in to make it a one goal game. But Minseo Song restored the two goal lead less than four minutes later as he buried a rebound off a perfectly placed pass off the pad by Lukas Kravcak. Dean Jones would add his second of the playoffs a few minutes later as Delta Black began to pull away with 11:13 remaining.

Bentley Gillis would add an empty netter with 3:42 left before the visitors would run into penalty trouble, securing the 6-2 Delta Black victory.

The first 15 minutes of action were a feeling out process for both teams before Baen Kernan opened the scoring for PCHA 16:23 into the game. David Osiowy would tie the game a few minutes later, scoring his fourth of the playoffs with 27 seconds left in the period.

After ending the first with a goal, Prairie would start the second with one as Keaton Bauck gave the visitors their first lead 35 seconds into the period. It would take some time but Austin Murray would even the score late in the second, as the two teams remained tied after 40.

After firing 26 shots on net at Sawyer Elke (62/64) in the second, Prairie would keep up the pressure firing 21 more in the third. However, it was Brayden Castelsky who would end the deadlock 12:33 into the third to put Pacific Coast ahead 3-2. Elke would hold strong the rest of the way and a late Prairie ‘Too Many Men’ penalty would kill any comeback attempt as Pacific Coast held on for the win.

RHA Kelowna (Kelowna, BC) did so Wednesday with a 2-1 win over OHA Edmonton (Edmonton, AB) in the finals. RHA Kelowna had previously beat OHA Edmonton 6-1 in round robin play, and the two teams had each won two meetings coming into today’s game.

Jaya Schippel (21/22) and Emma Skolney (21/23) kept clean sheets through 20 in a back and forth first period. The second looked like it would also end scoreless until the ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ’s All-Time Female leading scorer in Kennedy Sisson (2A), set-up captain Hailey McDonald (1G, 1A) on a 2-on-1. McDonald would make no mistake, firing it past a sprawling Skolney to give RHA Kelowna a 1-0 lead with 1:38 left in the period.

OHA Edmonton would threaten in the third with three power play opportunities, including a 5-on-3, but they were unable to tie the game early. RHA Kelowna would take advantage as Sydney McIntosh fired one from the slot through the five-hole of Skolney, increasing the lead to 2-0 with 6:27 left to play.

Izzy Gollop would get OHA Edmonton on the board with 1:03 left to play, ending the Schippel shutout bid, but RHA Kelowna ultimately held on for the 2-1 win, extending their dynasty for another year.

Delta Black would lose 6-1 in the round robin to Shawnigan Lake School (Shawnigan Lake, BC) but would bounce back with a 2-1 win Tuesday.

Kiernan Ledoux would open the scoring midway through the first as she buried a rebound off an Arlie Sangha shot, that hit the shoulder of Aidyn Carkner (21/23) and ended up behind her.

After falling behind Shawnigan would control the second, though the shots did end 12-11 in favour of Delta Black. Saysha Brace (28/29) would keep the game 1-0 in favour of Delta Black heading into the third when captain Kinleigh Brace scored a power play goal with 7:54 remaining to give her team a 2-0 lead.

Alyssa Worsley would counter with a power play goal of her own just 1:51 later as Shawnigan looked for an equalizer. They would get their chances but ultimately were unable to find the tying goal, sending Delta Black into a joyous celebration.

The Northern Alberta Xtreme looked to win their second of two U15 Western Championship games, coming up against a Calgary International Hockey Academy squad on Monday morning who had lost their tournament opener. NAX producedÌýnumerousÌýchances of their own to take over, but CIHA always stemmed theÌýtide andÌýwouldÌýestablishÌýa cushion at the end of the first period. Rhett Davis (2G) scored just past the halfway mark of the first period, before goals in quick succession in the last few minutes of the period from Nick Acierno (1G, 1A) and a second from Davis had CIHA 3-0 up through twenty minutes. CIHA would go up four through a Hudson Bennefield shorthanded goal, and while the NAX response set up a close(r) finish, Vincent Arsenault (33/35) shut the door late to help CIHA over the finish line.ÌýÌý

Coeur d’Alene Hockey Academy (2) vs. Delta Hockey Academy Black (8) U15 Western ChampionshipsÌý

Delta Hockey Academy Black dominated from the outset of their U15 Western Championships clash withÌýCouerÌýd’Alene Hockey Academy, beginning with Bentley Gillis (3G), who scored the first two of the game and first goal of the second period, scoring a hat-trick toÌýestablishÌýDelta Black’s dominance. Zach Giles (1G, 2A) and Easton Isfeld (1G, 2A) both scored for DHAB to help them further, with a pair of late goals from CDA only making a dent in the lead as Delta Black eventually won 8-2.Ìý

Notre Dame Hounds (6) vs. North Shore Warriors (3) U15 Division II Western ChampionshipsÌý

In the second half of today’s game between the Notre Dame Hounds and North Shore Warriors in the U15 Division II Western Championships, North Shore’s effort was admirable, scoring three to get themselves back in the game. Unfortunately for the Warriors, though, the dominant way the Hounds started the game put them too far out of things for the late push to be enough. Aleksi Houle-Lewis (1G, 2A), Lochlan Kisslinger, Gus Buffington (2G), and Clarke Forrester (2G) scored to have Notre Dame up 4-0 before the game was half over, a leadÌýthey’dÌýhold on to, surviving the late Warriors push with a 6-3 win.Ìý

Delta Hockey Academy White (1) vs. RINK Hockey Academy Winnipeg (5) U15 Western ChampionshipsÌý

Delta Hockey Academy White took the first lead of the game off the stick of Grayson Sears early in the first period, but unfortunately for Delta, that leadÌýwouldn’tÌýlast long, and theyÌýwouldn’tÌýretake the lead from there. Caleb Church (2G, 1A) scored on the powerplay to tie the game in the first before Church scored the only goal of the second to give RINK Winnipeg the lead through two. Brock Labelle (1G, 2A) scored on the man advantage early in the third to give his team a two-goal lead, a simple precursor to two more RHAW goals to seal the 5-1 win.ÌýÌý

Delta Hockey Academy Black (3) vs. North Shore Warriors Female (2) U18 Prep Div II Western Championships SFÌý

Four teams started the day hoping to punch their ticket to the Female U18 Prep Div II Western Championships Final tomorrow morning, with Delta Hockey Academy Black looking to triumph over North Shore. Delta outshot the Warriors 15-4 in the first but only led 1-0, with North Shore’s defence setting up Gia Carella’s second-period equalizer, sending the game into the third deadlocked 1-1. AÌýCross CheckingÌýpenalty late in the second from the Warriors gave DHAB an early third-period powerplay, one Lucy Williams converted upon, giving Delta Black the third period lead. Madison Seitz, though, tied the game at two for the WarriorsÌýlater on, setting up a photo finish. Kiernan Ledoux’s brilliant rush up ice ended with her backhand finish into the top corner to give DHAB the lead with 66 seconds to go. That stood as the winner, sending DHAB to the Final on Tuesday morning.ÌýÌý

RINK Hockey Academy Kelowna (1) vs. Okanagan Hockey Academy (2) U15 Division II Western ChampionshipsÌý

The start of RINK Hockey Academy Kelowna and Okanagan Hockey Academy’s U15 Division II Western Championships game on Monday started in lightning-fast fashion, with an early goal from Max Chen getting the party started just 49 seconds in. If the early goal was expected to be a kick-off point for a wave of scoring, it wasÌýalmost theÌýopposite, with both goaltenders standing tall from that point out. Jett Menzies tied the game for RHAK through one, and in the last forty minutes of play, RHAK’s Quinn Hooper (27/29) and OHA’s Linden Hartford (30/31) stood tall to keep the game close. However, late in the second, Ryder Fortin broke through for OHA, giving them a leadÌýthey’dÌýhang on to, with the hosts prevailing 2-1.ÌýÌý

Pilot Mound Hockey Academy (4) vs. Shawnigan Lake School (7) Female U18 Prep Div II Western Championships SFÌý

The first period had enough goals and offence for the whole game, with Shawnigan’s lead taken by Pilot Mound before Leah Hill (2G) tied the game at three before the first twenty minutes had even elapsed. Hill scored againÌýfroÌýShawnigan, the only goal of the second, to give them a 4-3 lead through two, and setting up a third period in which the first goal would be massive; the start of the period would either provide Shawnigan the insurance of drag Pilot Mound back in it again. In 58 seconds, Shawnigan would answer that question by scoring twice, with Danika Eheler and Tess McGee scoring quick goals that extended the lead to a safe spot. The two teams would trade another goal apiece late in the third eventually ending the game 7-4 in Shawnigan’s favour.Ìý

OHA Edmonton (5) vs Delta Hockey Academy Green (2) Female U18 Prep Western Championships SFÌýÌý

OHA Edmonton punched their ticket to the championship game with the kind of third‑period surge that only a seasoned #3 seed can summon, turning a tight semifinal against #1‑seed Delta Hockey Academy Green into a 5–2 statement win. After the teams traded late second‑period goals with Ryann Jugnauth (1G) scoring before Abigail Jung (1G)ÌýrepliedÌýseconds later, the game cracked open in the third. Avery Sam (1G, 1A) sparked the run, Ryann Chimera (1G, 1A) buried a power‑play finish to reclaim momentum, and Riley Cooper (1G, 1A) made it 4–1 as Edmonton’s big three stacked points in rapid succession. Joryn Hempel (1G) added another on the man‑advantage in the final minutes, sealing a four‑goal frame that overwhelmed a Delta group that had cruised through round‑robin play. EmmaÌýSkolneyÌý(22/24) stayed composed behind it all, backstopping an OHA Edmonton team that saved its sharpest, most complete performance of the tournament for the semifinal stage.ÌýÌý

Pacific Coast Hockey Academy (4) vs Prairie Hockey Academy (3) U15 Division II Western ChampionshipsÌýÌý

Pacific Coast Hockey Academy and Prairie Hockey Academy stepped into their second round‑robin game looking like twoÌýteams’Ìýintent on tightening their grip on Pool B, and the pace reflected it. Prairie struck first through Lucas Duchscherer (1G) at 15:09, only for Gus Steeves (1G) to answer late in the frame, a small preview of the punch‑counterpunch rhythm that would define the night. Kolby Penner (1G) briefly nudged PHA ahead in the second before GreysonÌýEkramoddoullahÌý(2G, 1A) tied it with 39 seconds left, a momentum swing that cracked the game open. Fifteen seconds into the third, Tate Davis (1G, 1A) put PCHA ahead for the first time, andÌýEkramoddoullah’sÌýsecond at 3:35 stretched the lead just enough to survive Titan Sauter’s (1G) pushback. Prairie’s 46‑shot barrage kept the ice tilted, but Sawyer Elke’s (43/46) 43‑save performance turned the crease into a wall, letting Pacific Coast skate off with a 4–3 win that felt equal parts opportunistic, resilient, and timely for a #3 seed trying to seize control of the pool.Ìý

RINK Hockey Academy Winnipeg (0) vs RINK Hockey Academy Kelowna (11) Female U18 Prep Western Championships SFÌýÌý

RINK Kelowna bulldozed their way into the championship game with a semifinal performance that looked every bit like a #2 seedÌýoperatingÌýat full throttle, dismantling RINK Winnipeg 11–0 in a matchup that tilted one direction from the opening shift. RHA Kelowna needed barely three minutes to get rolling as Brynn Rice (1G) struck first, and from there the floodgates opened as Alida Korte (3G) and Hayley McDonald (2G, 1A) powered a four‑goal burst that buried RINK Winnipeg before the period was halfway done. The second brought more of the same: Korte completed her hat trick, Kennedy Sisson (1G, 3A) kept threading passes through seams, and Jillian McLaughlin (1G, 3A) piled on as RINK Kelowna’s top unit carved through every defensive look RHA Winnipeg tried to throw at them. By the time Caitlyn Bell (1G, 1A), MaddyÌýNieshÌý(1G), and Emersyn Allan (1G) added third‑period insurance, the only question left was the margin. Jaya Schippel (7/7) barely saw rubber behind a RINK Kelowna group that outshot Winnipeg 46–7 and turned a semifinal into a statement, punching their ticket to the final with the most dominant performance of the tournament.Ìý

OHA EdmontonÌý(5)Ìývs BWC AcademyÌý(3)ÌýU15 Western ChampionshipsÌý

OHA Edmonton delivered the kind of emphatic bounce‑back a sixth seed needs in Pool B, punching BWC in the mouth with a four‑goal second period and riding that surge to a 5–3 win that never felt as close as the final score. After a tight, cautious first, Kole Imlay (1G) cracked things open late, and once BWC tied it early in the second, OHA Edmonton answered with a tidal wave: Damon Chinski (2G, 1A) burying a power‑play rebound, Marek Fetter (1G, 1A) finishing a slick rush 33 seconds later, and Max Holland (1G) stretching the lead before Chinski struck again at 16:31 to make it 5–1. BWC’s push in the third with power‑play goals from Mars Zhang (1G, 1A) and Chase Henderson (1G) made the finish tense, but Brynley Nault’s (37/40) 37‑save night held firm as OHA Edmonton leaned on structure to close it out. Outshooting the #3 seed 43–40 and outpacing them when the game tilted, OHA Edmonton’s response to their overtime loss looked every bit like a team refusing to drift out of contention.Ìý

STAR Hockey AcademyÌý(3)Ìývs St. George’s SchoolÌý(5)ÌýU15 Division II Western ChampionshipsÌý

Asher Jin (2G, 1A) would score 8:10 in and Elmer Wang added his second of the playoffs just 13 seconds later. Jeffrey Yu would get STAR on the board a few minutes later but Adam Johnson restored the St. George’s two goal lead less than two minutes later. Kiernan Kirkpatrick made it a one goal game with a power play goal 2:27 into the second period, beating Rhys Williams (24/27) for his first of the playoffs. Jin would reply midway through the period Alan Qiu would give St. George’s a 5-2 lead a few minutes later. Regan Haggard would open the third with his first of the playoffs but that was as close as STAR would get as St. George’s held on for a 5-3 win. Matthew Fu (3A) would tie Jin for the team lead with three points.

Edge School (1) vs Yale Hockey Academy (8) U15 Western ChampionshipsÌý

Yale outshot Edge 50-32 and scored 7 straight to start the game en route to an 8-1 win Monday. RJ Livingston (2G, 1A) and Max Nicholson (2G) each scored twice while Brady Barrett (1G, 3A) and Jack Hagen (3A) had three assists. Satoshi Takeda scored the lone Edge goal, ending the Mason Baptiste (31/32) shutout bid with 4:05 left to play.
