The MOB Hockey team put on an offensive clinic from start to finish, overwhelming Riggers Hockey Academy with a decisive 9-2 victory. The game began with early fireworks as Riggers' Connor Harris opened the scoring just under six minutes into the first period, but MOB quickly responded with Jabriel Sharma tying the game minutes later. The turning point came late in the first when Ryker Philpott gave MOB their first lead, setting the stage for what would become a dominant performance. The physical nature of the game was evident throughout, with both teams combining for 14 penalties including multiple boarding and illegal check to the head infractions that kept the penalty boxes busy all night.
MOB's offensive engine truly shifted into high gear during the second period, where they unleashed an impressive 23 shots on goal. Mason Macdonnell and Ryker Philpott struck within 29 seconds of each other early in the period to extend the lead, and Brantley Rockwell added a shorthanded goal midway through to further demoralize the Riggers. The MOB attack was relentless, with Philpott completing his hat trick in the third period while Rockwell added his second of the game. Despite a late goal from Riggers' Blake Pannebaker, MOB continued to pour it on with Deegan Sheppard adding another marker to cap the scoring.
The story of the game was written in the shot totals, with MOB firing an overwhelming 62 shots compared to Riggers' 26. Lennon Andrews stood tall in net for MOB, turning aside 24 of 26 shots for the win, while Riggers' goaltending tandem of Talan Rowland and Evan Buffalo faced a constant barrage throughout the contest. Ryker Philpott's hat trick performance highlighted a balanced MOB attack that saw multiple players contributing to the scoring onslaught, demonstrating the depth and firepower that proved too much for Riggers to handle on this night.
