February 1, 2026, was an exciting day at the Woodman Park Community Centre, as the Galaxy locked sticks with the Gators in a game of youth ball hockey that kept spectators on the edge of their seats.
The Galaxy came out strong, with Carter Hamilton opening the scoring just 12 minutes into the first period. Not long after, Mason Russell and Xaiver Hycza added to Galaxy’s tally, making it 3-0. But the Gators wouldn’t be silenced, as Logan Barkman managed to score a goal before the first interval.
The second period saw the Gators push back with Lana Barkman putting the ball past the Galaxy’s netminder. However, the Galaxy were unshakeable – Kieran Zacher, armed with a hot stick, scored back-to-back goals, putting the game further out of the Gators’ reach. Mason Russell sealed the deal with another goal for the Galaxy.
In the end, the Galaxy emerged victorious in this high-octane match, showing incredible teamwork and determination. The game’s shining stars, Carter Hamilton, Mason Russell, and Kieran Zacher, all deserve a big round of applause for their outstanding performances.
