The West Central Tigers edged the Springbank Rockies 5-4 in a lively, back-and-forth battle. West Central struck twice in the opening period through Hudson Martin and Foster Annicchiarico, but Springbank answered with three second-period goals from Sterling Schiffner, Carter Lenz, and Owen Park. Sawyer Jacobs pulled the Tigers closer before the final frame, and West Central surged ahead as Madden Albert and Griffin Rush found the net, while Jaxon Ferner added a goal for the Rockies. The game included some penalties, and strong work from both goaltenders helped keep the contest thrilling through the final whistle.
