18U:

The Omaha Mastery had a fantastic day one performance, picking up a pair of wins over the Florida Alliance South and New Jersey Titans. During their first game against the Alliance, things were scoreless after the first period before both teams scored two goals a piece in period two. After another scoreless third period, the two teams would head to overtime and it would be Boston Cornic who would bank home the game winner with 2:05 left to go in extra innings. Against New Jersey, Omaha would get the job done with a 5-2 victory, Cornic getting on the board scoring the second goal before Devin Heald netted the game winner in the middle of the second frame. Brooks Skogland would be the only player to tally two points in game two as he dished out a pair of assists. 

Team Alaska would also have a great showing on day one, winning their only game of the day against the Seattle Kraken. During the squad’s 4-0 shutout, Daniel Mateev was the star of the show scoring two goals and tallying one assist, both goals coming in the second period. Landon Mcllroy was the only other player on Alaska’s roster with a multi-point game, assisting Mateev’s second goal in addition to the final goal of the contest. 

16U:

The Seattle Kraken defeated Team Alaska in thrilling fashion, picking up an overtime win with a final score of 3-2. Team Alaska scored the first two goals of the contest, one goal in the first followed by one goal in the second. The Kraken would rally and score three unanswered goals, including the overtime winning coming off the stick of Aiden Rajcic, his second goal of the T1ER season. 

The Vegas Jr. Golden Knights split their games on day one, coming up just short against the Omaha Mastery before finding victory against the Lincoln Stars. The Knights would enter the third period trailing by a score of 2-1. Knowing that their backs were against the wall, Vegas would tie things up with just over five minutes into the final frame. Just a few moments later, Vegas would head to the power play and it would be Tommy Trent who would bank home the game winner on special teams.
