Thanks to strong defensive work by the Ayr Flames Aidan Berge and Aaron Turnbull and the unrelenting offensive play of the Flames' Nicholas Calhoun, Tyler McCLelland and Garrett Schnieder making for lots of action in front of the New Hamburg net, while Calhoun got the puck by New Hamburg's goalie , with an assist by McCLelland, to take the lead 2-1. Ayr used great teamwork to deny New Hamburg any power play opportunities after an Ayr penalty left the Flames short one man. New Hamburg took a turn in the penalty box too and the period ended 2-1.
