The Capitals would continue to pressure in the Owen Sound end and would be rewarded when Jack Walter deflected a hard pass off the post and into the net, assists credited to Carson Filsinger and Matthew McNaughton. The final goal of the period would come from Cobi Johnson after he and Kyle Romphf worked a near perfect give and go before the shot found the top of the net. Walkerton lead 6-2 after the first period.
The second period would start with each team making valiant attempts on the opponents net. Walkerton would score 4 minutes into the frame after Kyle Romphf tucked the puck behind the goalie after a break away. Cobi Johnson would score less than a minute later after taking a pass from Colby Schmidt. Defenseman Scott McTeer would intercept a pass from an Attack player and then come down the wing and unleash a high wrist shot that caught the corner of the net. As the period was coming to a conclusion Carson Filsinger finished off a fine passing play that found the back of the net. Assisting were Cayleb Peitz and Jack Walter. Walkerton had increased its lead to 10-1 after two periods of play.
The third period and again the Capitals would pressure the Owen Sound net. Cayleb Peitz would score four and half minutes into the period after taking a pass from Jack Walter. Cayleb would then score three minutes later to complete the hat trick. Owen Sound would score but Walkerton would immediately skate down the ice and Cobi Johnson and Kyle Romphf would again team up before Cobi would record his hat trick. Tyler Wallace would score with 1:36 remaining, assisted by Ryan Graul and Connor Farrell. The scoring would wrap up with Carson Filsinger his second of the night after redirecting a pass from Xander Thornton with 15 seconds remaining in the game.

The Walkerton team has shown strong skills early in the season and will continue to work on them as more games are played.
