Offensively, Rhys McAdam had great night with a goal and two assists. Alexander Thai scored two goals and collected an assist, while Alex Caiazza also had two goals. Aidan Johnson and Simon Sciarra also chipped in with goals and additional assist went to Luca Mucciarelli, Malik Moore (2), Patrick O'Farrell, Jaxon Mosher and Chad Canter.
