• Bantams: The Bantams won a white-knuckled affair on Sunday, holding off WHK 4-3. After a long layoff thanks to Mother Nature, the team came out flying, keeping the play in the WHK zone for much of the first period. Gateway peppered the WHK goalie, but could not solve him as the period ended 0-0. Bantam goalie Chace Cunningham kept the game scoreless with a beautiful save on a WHK breakaway. Brady Smith finally broke the ice as a result of some nifty puck movement on the power play. Will Paling assisted on the goal. Just a few minutes later, Brian Holmes roofed a wrist shot from the high slot to double the lead, assisted by Jacob Spevack. Jake Tomasik finished the scoring in the second period with a strong shot from the point.

With just over 10 minutes to go in the game, Alex Atkinson tucked an unassisted goal in to regain a two goal lead. Giving up another goal with 5 minutes to play brought WHK back to within one goal and forced Gateway to survive, leaning on goalie Teaghin Andre during the final ticks of the clock.
