The Campbell River Ravens played host to the Oceanside Sharks for a Thursday night contest which saw the home team take a commanding 5-0 first period lead and not look back. Oceanside came out to play in the second period with a 4 goal performance by Jayden Hafter but the Ravens weren't about to let them back in to the contest; Oceanside won the period but by a slim 6-5 margin.

The Sharks couldn't muster a full 20 minute third period attack with a short bench and eventually succumbed to the strain and fatigue and let the period slip away 3-1. A great outing in the losing cause for midget call-up goalkeeper Todd Jenkins.
