The O2 Grizzlies struck first in this Hockey Super League matchup, with Anderson MacBeath finding the back of the net midway through the opening period, assisted by Hugo Eckstrand and Rome Frost. However, that early lead would be the high point for the visitors. The game completely flipped in the second period, transforming into a dominant showcase for the Spartan Hockey Academy. Maddox Sigalet capitalized on a power play for the Grizzlies to open the period's scoring, but it was all Spartans from there. Beckhem Falloon ignited an incredible offensive explosion, scoring the first of what would be a hat-trick. Callum Sherban then scored two quick goals of his own, and the floodgates were officially open. The Spartans' attack was relentless, with Maddox Kinjo netting the game-winner and contributions coming from Charlie Formenti, Lawson Lieske, and Jack Blair, who all lit the lamp in a staggering eight-goal period that saw the home team take a commanding 9-2 lead.
The third period offered no respite for the Grizzlies. Beckhem Falloon completed his hat-trick early, and despite a response from Kaiden Thiessen of the Grizzlies, Callum Sherban capped off his own hat-trick to seal the 10-3 final. The penalty sheet was active throughout the contest, with both teams taking several infractions. A notable scuffle in the second period led to matching roughing penalties for Jack Blair and Alexandre LeBlanc, and Sherban found himself in the box twice for boarding. While the goalie statistics were not tracked, the shot totals tell the story of the game's trajectory; the Spartans fired a massive 20 shots in their dominant second period alone, completely overwhelming the Grizzlies' defense and goaltending to secure a decisive and memorable victory.
