The Lakers would dominate the game with puck possession but struggled to find the net. Later in the game with the score tied 1-1, Kaden Hoggarth would notch a go ahead goal to make it 2-1. Assist by Dakota Coultes. Unfortunately the Lakers continued to struggle to find the net and get a security goal. Kitchener with the goalie pulled would slip on past on a deflection with 10 seconds left in the game to spoil the Lakers victory. Final score 2-2.
On Sunday, the Major Atoms would host the Jr. Rangers at the Maitland center in Goderich. The Lakers would open the scoring mid way thru the first as a rush D-Man Jack Robinson would lead to a beautiful pass out front to a wide open Bobby Leis for a marker. The celebration would be short lived however as 30 seconds later Kitchener would tie things up. The Rangers would score again a few minutes later to end the first period and would add to their lead early in the second. With Kitchener ahead 3-1 Tyler Hotson would jam in a rebound on a shot from Connor Aarts. In the beginning of the 3rd period Kaden Hoggarth would even things up with a back-handed bullet. (assist from Bobby Leis). Braedan McNaughton would notch the go ahead goal less than 2 minutes later to make the score 4-3. Kayden Schooley would pounce on a rebound for the insurance goal with 2:30 left in the game (from Mason Weber) and later add an empty net goal to finish the scoring 6-3.
