Just over halfway through the period, Carter Wolski sped around the zone and fired a wrist shot in for a 4-0 lead.

Bast got his second of the game on a hard wrister from the slot three minutes later, before Brandon Scanlin one-timed in a loose puck for a 6-0 Brooks advantage after two.

In the third, William Lemay popped in a rebound goal 36 seconds in on the power play, while Plessis scored his second of the game at the 7:55 mark with a high wrist shot off the rush. Lemay capped off the scoring with his second at 15:01 of the period, firing in a power play rebound goal to notch the 9-0 final.
