Owen Curran would remain calm and steady during the shootout denying the Bombers shooters and sealing the win for the Hawks.
The next game the team would face their first tough loss of the tournament in a tight 2 to 1 game against Collingwood Blackhawks. Bradbury would supply the lone goal from the team which was assisted by Sullivan Tait and Fonger. Mason Taylor made several key saves in net.

The game was filled with edge of your seat entertainment as both teams came to play. Unfortunately the team didn't get the outcome they had hoped, but it was not for lack of effort. Leading the offense was Lane Sharp with two goals. Brooks and Rhet Sharp would add to the tallies. Assists from Rhet, Parent, Bradbury and Nieman. Owen Curran was steadfast between the pipes.
