The Aces Hockey Academy delivered a commanding performance from start to finish, overwhelming the Gorillas Hockey Academy with an 8-0 shutout victory. From the opening faceoff, the Aces established control, outshooting the Gorillas 13-6 in the first period alone. Bennett Bolding opened the scoring just over five minutes into the game, setting the tone for what would become a relentless offensive display. Braxton Madu doubled the lead later in the period, and the Aces never looked back. The Gorillas struggled to generate quality chances against Aces goaltender Owen Pelletier, who turned away all 23 shots he faced to earn a clean sheet.
The second period saw the floodgates truly open as Augustine Paziuk took over the game with back-to-back goals early in the frame. Reese Vandermeer added another marker before Paziuk completed his hat trick late in the period, demonstrating the Aces' offensive depth and precision. The game grew increasingly physical as frustration mounted for the Gorillas, with multiple roughing penalties called on both sides. Despite switching between Sterling Grandinetti and other netminders, the Gorillas' goaltending couldn't stem the tide against the Aces' 40-shot barrage.
The final period provided no respite for the home team as Paziuk added his fourth goal just 19 seconds into the frame, capping an extraordinary individual performance. Jude Fisher rounded out the scoring midway through the period, while the Aces' defense continued to smother any Gorillas' attempts to get on the board. The game ended with yet another penalty, symbolic of the Gorillas' frustrating night. Owen Pelletier's perfect performance in net, combined with Augustine Paziuk's four-goal outburst and Bennett Bolding's three-point night, made this a complete team victory for the Aces Hockey Academy.
