First Half
Forward Eric Florchuk tucked in a wraparound attempt after getting fed by center Riley Sutter near the wall to open the scoring for the white team. That would be all of the scoring for the half.

Center Garrett Pilon broke the tie for the red squad on a nifty play.
Center Riley Sutter would level the score to force 3-on-3 overtime but that would not be enough to break the tie. The scrimmage would go to a shootout.

McMichael beat Warm top corner after waiting him out to give the White team the lead.
