Day 13: Foxtrot Trottyfoxes (4) vs Charlie Angels (5)
A relatively modest finish by the standards of the S52 SMJHL Prospect Showcase, with a minuscule nine combined goals from the Trottyfoxes and Angels.

1st Period
The first period got off to a hot start, but on this day - unlucky Day 13 - the goalies seemed to be up to the task. The period saw a total of 33 shots, with the Trottyfoxes (16 shots) and Angels (17) going back and forth. Despite some of the best goalie performances of the showcase, it took just 3:12 for Vince Chalut to find net, ripping one right past Jerry Huuveri. The Trottyfoxes struck back just a minute later, as Ale Beru snuck one past Skyler Stevens of the Angels. Both goalies were able to settle in a bit from there, with shots flying back and forth but no further goals. Just when it seemed we might be in the midst of a low-scoring affair, Paddy Kane-Reilly reminded us that those are boring with a wicked one-timer off of a Dusty Bender pass. Both teams got a few decent looks after that, but neither could find net again in the first.

2nd Period
After catching a quick breath, the two teams headed back out on the ice. Early on it seemed as though the Angels may have needed a bit more time in the locker room, however. The Trottyfoxes struck on a Luke Niemi goal just 2:10 into the period, and then, exactly 3 minutes late, Niemi was back in the thick of things with an assist on a Jaska Seppala shot that zipped right through Stevens' five-hole. The Angels seemed to be laboring through the period, having surrendered their lead and contributed zero shots. Then, out of nowhere, Wolf Weiss hit a streaking Joshua Devonshire with a beautiful pass to set him free in space. Huuveri must have forgotten that the Angels were allowed to possess the puck as Devonshire had no problem getting the puck past him on the breakaway. A suddenly reinvigorated Angels team then applied some further pressure, and Bentley Boogie was able to deflect a Dusty Bender wrister into the back of the net, helping the Angels recapture the lead. The Trottyfoxes would ultimately look back on this period as the reason they couldn't get the win, out-shooting the Angels 11 to 3 but gaining no ground on the scoreboard.

3rd Period
This game was every bit as tight as it looked for the majority of the third period. Neither team had much success breaking through until Ale Beru grabbed his second goal of the game on a rebound from a Brad Smith shot, trying things up. The game remained quite tense until the Angels found themselves with a lengthy possession, applying pressure and getting off shots. After a Huuveri stopped a handful of attempts, Steve Harrington swung the puck to Erben Kasius at the point and Kasius buried a ferocious slap shot to give the Angels the lead, and ultimately the win.

Three Stars
1 - Paddy Kane-Reilly II
2 - Ale Beru
3 - Joshua Devonshire
