Jack Haley scored an empty netter for the 6th goal and John Simon completed his hat trick to finish the game with West 16U winning 7-2.

While the first two games were mostly all offense, the third game vs. Central 16U was mostly all defense and goaltending with West 16U’s two goalies earning their first shared shut-out of the season winning 2-0. Jack Cusey from Mankato East started the game, making save after save including a few amazing ones, with Central 16U putting West 16U on its heels.  Wayzata’s Sawyer Anderson followed with equaling brilliance repelling every shot faced.  West 16U’s defensive core was also solid, limiting quality chances and clearing the puck in front of the net on numerous occasions. Riley Enderle finally broke the 0-0 deadlock with just 5 minutes left to play with a laser upper corner shot converting a nice stretch pass from Troy Dahlheimer.  Jack Haley sealed the victory with another empty net goal with 20 seconds remaining to finish West 16U winning 2-0.
