The Young Kings Hockey team stormed into Capital City and delivered an offensive clinic, defeating the Knights 9-4 in a game that saw momentum swing wildly through three periods. The visitors set the tone early, with Greyson Tschritter scoring twice in the first period—first assisted by Leo Petite at 11:07, then again at 3:49 with helpers from Petite and Beau Marshall. The Knights struggled to generate offense early, managing just two shots in the opening frame, while the Young Kings' chemistry between Tschritter and Petite proved lethal from the start.
The second period turned into a penalty-filled, high-scoring spectacle with seven combined goals. Capital City’s Sam Grotkowski opened the period with a power-play goal at 11:59, assisted by Karter Eskelson and Grayson O’Connell, briefly giving the Knights hope. But the Young Kings responded with a relentless attack. Theo Stokes scored at 11:13, followed quickly by two goals from Leo Petite—including the game-winner at 10:11—to seize control. Karter Eskelson added another power-play marker for the Knights at 7:24, but Corbin Walker’s even-strength goal at 5:03 was quickly overshadowed by a parade of penalties that disrupted any chance of a sustained Knights comeback.
In the final period, the Young Kings put the game out of reach with three more goals. Porter DeMan scored on the power play at 17:01, Brooks Farquhar added another at 13:14, and Greyson Tschritter completed his hat trick at 12:10. Corbin Walker netted his second of the night for the Knights at 10:07, but Austin Norton sealed the Young Kings' victory with a late goal at 2:50. Despite a more competitive shot effort from Capital City in the later periods, the Young Kings’ offensive firepower—spearheaded by Tschritter’s three goals and three assists from Petite—proved too much to handle in a decisive road win.
