With new Schools opening up for players to develop the skills they have, it was the year fro Delta to pull off a win over the powerhouse Okanagan.

Nothing comes easy as the Okanagan continues to send strong teams to this event and after the first they opened a 2-0 lead on goals from Ty Kolle and Keltie Jeri-Leon.

The second saw Delta cut the lead to 2-1 on a goal from Corson Hopwo at the mid-way mark, and then tying the game 2-2 on a goal from Williams 4:32.

Less than a minute later OHA regained the lead on a goal from Zach Minaker, but Williams answered almost immediately for Delta with 2:52 left in the period ending period two tied at 3.

Williams would notch his third on a power play about five minutes into the period, and two minutes later Brenday Budy, from Williams and Bobby Russell, finished the scoring for the Wild.

Budy finished with 1G-2A, while Luke Zazular and Lach Hadley each contributed 2A.
