Edmonton Miners 7  Snake Island Muskies 8.

An end to end first period, that saw the teams trade goals early, but stilfled for the majority of the frame.  Richard Lachlan and Colin Berglof scored late in the period for Edmonton, but Stephen Keogh scored with 0:40 seconds remaining to tighten the game to 3-2 at the break. 

The Muskies tied things up early on the power-play when Ryan Lanchbury buried a Skkyler Thomas feed from in close, but Cam Milligan got it back also on the power-play.  Stephen Keogh again tied the game in a much more wide open period.  Edmonton then took the lead late in the period with Tyler Sonnichsen scoring in transition at 16:01.  The Miners held a slim 5-4 lead at the intermission. 

John Lintz increased the lead to start the third going in all alone, but a blast from Landon Sinfield brought it back to a one goal spread.  Dean Fairall answered from in close, but again Sinfield replied to keep it a one goal game.  Landon Sinfield then tied the game with his third of the game on an absolute beauty from in front off a perfect feed from Ryan Lanchbury, setting up a dramatic finish. 

Stephen Keogh sent Snake Island to the goal medal game with a blast from the top of the crease off a Lanchbury feed at 18:18 for the victory. 

Final score, Snake Island 8 Edmonton 7.

Six Nations Rivermen 12  Brooklin Merchants 8.

Brooklin got rolling quickly in the game jumping out to a 3-0 lead early on.  Six Nations got into a bit of penalty trouble with a pair of penalties that went as power-play markers, but fought back with a power-play goal of their own.  The Merchants were pushing the tempo the entire period, leading 4-1 at the intermission. 

Six Nations came out in the second with more energy.  The Rivermen scored five in the first half of the period to overcome the early deficit tying the game 6-6.  David Anderson with three,  and Zach Herreweyers with two led the way. 

Brooklin got back in the lead with a great individual effort from Parker Pipher scoring while falling down off a Zac Carrigan pass at 18:30 to grab a 7-6 lead heading to the third period. 

The third period started with a torrid pace, but both goalies stood tall.  However, Liam Osborne broke the scoreless period with a great effort to get in front to fire a low to low shot 6:00 into the period.

The Rivermen tightened the game again with a Chris Courtney blast, but three from the Merchants opened up a four goal margin late in the period.

With just under five minutes remaining, Six Nations asked for a mask measurement of Deacan Knott's mask. It was found to be illegal equipment.   Knott got a two minute illegal equipment penalty.  

The Rivermen scored on the ensuing power-play to bring them within three, but an empty net goal from Jacob Hickey sealed the deal.  Brooklin advances to the gold medal game with a 12-8 victory.
