The Etobicoke Dolphins delivered a commanding performance on the road, overwhelming the Brampton Canadettes with a decisive 7-1 victory. The tone was set early as the Dolphins unleashed an offensive barrage, outshooting Brampton 11-3 in the opening period. Adrianna Milani opened the scoring for Etobicoke, but Brampton's Emma Sulpher answered quickly to knot the game at 1-1. The tie was short-lived, however, as Haley Box responded just 16 seconds later to put the Dolphins ahead for good, a goal that would stand as the game-winner. The Dolphins' relentless pressure continued, with Spencer Vaccari and Sydney Bowness adding goals in the second period before Milani netted her second of the night on the power play, capitalizing on a penalty to Brampton's Samantha Kosakowski.
The third period saw no let-up from the visitors, who added two more goals to seal the lopsided win. Haley Box scored her second of the contest, and Sydney Bowness also found the back of the net for a second time, completing a multi-point night for several Dolphins. Etobicoke's offensive depth was on full display, with Fiona Waddick, Madeline McCullough, and Devyn Lang all contributing key assists throughout the game. In net, Emeline Grennan was a steady presence for the Dolphins, turning aside all but one of the eight shots she faced to earn the win.
For the Brampton Canadettes, it was a tough night despite a brief moment of hope from Sulpher's first-period marker. Goaltender Emily Mackie faced a relentless 38-shot attack from Etobicoke, making several saves to keep the score from escalating further. Penalties proved costly for Brampton, who took six minors over the course of the game, including one that led directly to a Dolphins power-play goal. The loss highlighted the challenge of containing Etobicoke's balanced and persistent offense, which saw seven different players record points in a comprehensive team victory.
