Par en Bas, which went through the tournment undefeated, blanked the Titans despite being outshot 31-26. Nick Pothier was solid in the Sharks' net, turning aside everything the NKEC shooters aimed his way.

Offensively, Joel Cottreau led the way for Par en Bas with a pair of goals. Stephen Shaw and Cory Newell added single markers. The Sharks led 1-0 after one period and 3-0 at the end of the second.

In semifinal action, Par en Bas advanced to the final by defeating Central Kings 5-1 in a game that was closer than the final score would suggest.

After a scoreless - and fairly even - opening period-and-a-half, Par en Bas scored all five of their goals in an eight-minute stretch late in the second period. CK had the only goal of the third period.

Jaden Pothier led the Sharks offensively with a pair of goals, and Jessy Lennox, Alexander Shaw and Cameron Jacquard added one goal each. Josh Foster had the lone Gators' goal.

In the other semifinal, NKEC turned aside the Horton Griffins by a 5-3 score. NKEC led 2-1 after one period and 4-3 at the end of the second. The Titans then scored the only goal of the third period.

Ian Belliveau, Shane Connell, Henk Ueffing, Logan Bishop and Jonah Vidito had the NKEC goals, with Connell, Ueffing and Vidito all scoring on the power play.

Jake Gordon (on the power play), Stuart Kennie and Michael Griffin replied for Horton, which was outshot 24-15.

Par en Bas went through the round robin undefeated, blanking Horton 4-0, topping Hants East 8-2 and shutting out Central Kings 8-0. NKEC blanked CK 7-0, topped Horton 5-1 and edged Barrington 4-3 in overtime on a goal by Kyle Keddy.

In Horton's other round robin game, the Griffins came back from a 2-1 deficit after two periods to edge Barrington 3-2. Central Kings topped Barrington 4-1, and Hants East also edged the Barons, 3-2 in overtime.
