The defense was solid throughout the tournament limiting the scoring chances. Goalie Alec Clair only gave up 6 goals throughout the tournament. The Championship game was a battle. The Oilers Seamus Radley got things started with a goal midway through the first period making it 1-0 SDIA. Shortly after the Saints came back with a goal of there own evening things up at 1-1. Late in the first period Tanner Kelly scored giving the Oilers a 2-1 lead at the end of the 1st period. The second period the Saints tied the score once again at 2-2.
