The Vincent Massey Trojans rallied in the final period to overtake the Oak Park Raiders, clinching a 3-2 victory in Game 1 of the Winnipeg High School Hockey League's division one championship series. The game took place at the Sevens Oaks Sportsplex, with the Trojans capitalizing on a strong offensive push in the third period, scoring three goals in a span of less than nine minutes to secure the win. This victory puts the Trojans ahead 1-0 in the best-of-three series as they look to defend their championship title.

While the Raiders led the game with a two-goal advantage heading into the third period, the Trojans demonstrated resilience by adjusting their strategy, aggressively targeting the net. Key players for the Trojans included Carter Kaczmarz, Garnett Vande Graaf, and Adam Blair, who contributed to the scoreboard. Oak Park's players Nixon Donkersley and Tyler Thouas managed to find the net as well, but their efforts fell short as the Trojans maintained pressure until the final whistle.

The Trojans had outperformed the Raiders in shots on goal with a total of 40 compared to the Raiders' 30, showcasing their offensive capabilities and making the most of their scoring opportunities. With the next game set for Wednesday, the Trojans aim to secure their position as back-to-back champions in the series against a rival team that previously edged them out in the regular season by a narrow margin. The outcome of Game 2 will be pivotal for both teams as they vie for the championship title in the Winnipeg High School Hockey League.
