Saturday would have the boys travel to London for the afternoon matchup. The young Warriors moved the puck well and entered a strong team effort. Evan Hughes would get the boys on the board early on a nice feed from Hudsyn Chaput. Shortly after Hudsyn Chaput would net one of his (2) on the day, on a setup from Jake Schultz and Reid Morris. Maddyx Chaput would add to the lead on pass from Piers Murray. The boys opened up the game even wider as they would add 4 more for a final score of Warriors 7 and Hawks 1.

Today the Hawks opened the scoring, but Jack Haines had the Warriors tie the game less than a minute later with Hudsyn Chaput earning the assist. The lone goal in the 2nd frame was an unassisted marker by Hudsyn Chaput. Early in the 3rd frame Nate VanBakel would put the boys ahead 3-1 on a pass from Caden Ollson. The Hawks would come close as they would tie the game early in the 3rd, but Stratford had different plans for the game as they would add 4 unanswered goals to pull away for the win 7-3. Remaining goal scorers for the Warriors were Maddyx Chaput with (2), Evan Hughes with a single and Hudsyn Chaput would add another to his 2nd period goal.
