The Mogo/RSU hockey team secured the top position in the Optibet Hockey League by defeating Liepāja, while Elviss Želubovskis set a new scoring record in Latvian championships.

In a decisive match of the Optibet Hockey League (OHL) regular championship, the Mogo/RSU team triumphed over the Liepāja hockey team by a score of 4:2, thus ensuring their first-place finish in the league. This victory prompted the former leaders, Liepāja, to drop to the third position. Key players for Mogo/RSU included Kristers Ansons, Ernests Krūms, Gints Meija, and Elviss Želubovskis, the latter of whom made history by becoming the all-time top scorer in the Latvian championship with 595 points, surpassing Aigars Razgalu's long-standing record.

The match showcased a strong performance from Mogo/RSU, who scored two goals in the first period, one in the second, and finished the match with another goal in the third period. The momentum of the game shifted as the team solidified their lead and stifled the offensive efforts of their opponents. For Liepāja, goals were scored by Endijs Butāns and Kārlis Ozoliņš, but their efforts were not enough to overcome the lead that Mogo/RSU had established early on.

In another game, the Zemgale/LBTU team capitalized on their home advantage, winning against the Rīgas hockey school with a score of 4:3, which allowed them to climb to second place in the final standings. This match also featured a comeback by the home team after initially trailing 3:0 in the first period. Despite the losses for both Liepāja and Rīgas hockey school, the conclusion of the championship was marked by significant individual achievements, particularly Želubovskis's new record which adds an element of historic significance to the league.
