HK404 Wins Gold

Glass-Jeffrey’s Third-Period Heroics Lift Hawks to Victory Over FS404

This year’s Minor Hockey Week darlings, HK404, battled through a tight, physical contest before pulling away in the third period to secure a hard-fought 3-1 win over FS404.

Game Recap

The opening period was a defensive chess match, as both teams worked hard couldn’t find the back of the net. The physicality was present from the jump, with FS404’s Logan Buck (9:36) and HK404’s Mason Lofthaug (6:34) and Fredrick Gordon (5:04) all serving minor penalties.

The game opened up in the second period, as HK404 struck first at 11:34 when Parker Clydesdale buried a goal off a setup from Rhys Bykowski-Tripp. FS404 responded at 6:37, with Mason Desaulniers finishing off a passing play from Crosby Lemmens and Mason Dunstall to tie the game at 1-1. The period saw an increase in penalties, including matching roughing minors to FS404’s Logan Buck and HK404’s Xander Glebe (9:46), as well as cross-checking infractions for both teams (cringe).

With the game deadlocked entering the third period, Jayden Glass-Jeffrey netted the eventual game-winner at 12:42, and just minutes later, struck again at 8:55 to give HK404 a two-goal lead. The Hawks then locked down defensively, fending off Fort Sask for the remainder of the period. The third period also featured continued penalty action, with FS404’s Sawyer Butler in the box for body contact and Owen Cable also taking two separate minors (12:52, 4:37). HK404’s Jack Rawluk (9:10), Ben Woloschuk (8:23), and Mason Lofthaug (3:03) also each spent a couple pims in the box during the third. Despite the disruptions, the Hawks’ defensive unit and goaltending from Jasper Stengel held strong to secure the win.

Final Score:

HK404 – 3, FS404 – 1
