The Junior Prospects Hockey League (JPHL) and the Female Super League (FSL) brought their seasons to a dramatic close at the Silent Ice Center recently. While the JPHL celebrated its third year and the FSL concluded its inaugural season, both leagues delivered high-octane finishes across multiple divisions, showcasing future stars and igniting new rivalries.
Female Super League (FSL) Champions
12U Alberta Division – Calgary Glaciers
The Calgary Glaciers edged the Jr Ooks in a fiercely competitive two-game final that hinted at a budding Calgary-Edmonton rivalry. After taking game one in a shootout, Calgary sealed the series in game two with a dominant third period, launching 22 shots and scoring twice in just 43 seconds. A statement performance to cap a tightly contested season.
12U B.C. Division – Vancouver Aeros
The Vancouver Aeros were a force all season, riding a 16-game winning streak into the playoffs. They carried that momentum into a two-game sweep of the Langley Leafs. Game one was a 7-1 statement, while game two required clutch performances, including Sienna Yu’s series-clinching goal just 23 seconds into the third period.
14U Division – Jr Rustlers
The Jr Rustlers dethroned the regular-season defensive juggernauts, the Calgary Glaciers, who had only allowed two goals all year. With 2-1 and 5-1 wins in the finals, the Rustlers went a perfect 4-0 in the playoffs, proving resilience and timely scoring can top even the toughest defense.
14U Major Division – Bow Valley Nationals
The Bow Valley Nationals started their season 24-0 but faced stiff competition late, including two regular-season losses to the Vancouver Aeros. The two clubs met in a thrilling three-game final, where the Nationals rebounded from early deficits in all three games to take the series 2-1. A true showcase of mental toughness and championship pedigree.

14U Division – Titans Hockey Union
Belief was the fuel behind the Titans’ incredible playoff run. After finishing the regular season with seven wins in their final ten, they powered through the postseason with six straight wins. The Titans swept Lloydminster Athletics, South Sask HC, and Langley Hockey Academy, outscoring opponents 28-11 and never trailing for long.
15U Division – HC Edmonton
In a rematch of last year’s overtime classic, HC Edmonton and Langley Hockey Academy once again went the distance. After trading games in the first two matchups, HC Edmonton took command in game three with four unanswered goals. Goaltender Jameson Arcand stood tall throughout the series, facing 88 shots in the first two games alone.
17U Division – Langley Hockey Academy
Langley’s 17U squad brought home the organization’s first JPHL title in three years with two razor-thin victories over HC Edmonton. Game one was won in overtime, and game two turned on a motivational timeout speech from Head Coach Kurt Astle. Goals from Micah Sidhu and Owen Corscadden sealed the deal, while goaltender Logan McAloney shut the door to preserve the win.
18U Division – Titans Hockey Union
The Titans and Langley Hockey Academy delivered a classic 18U final. Both games required overtime, with the Titans coming out on top each time. Game one was capped by Danillo Garcia’s clutch finish, and in game two, Gavyn Schaufele took advantage of a Langley line change to score the championship-winner on a breakaway. Despite the 2-0 series scoreline, the excitement level suggested this one deserved a game three.
Looking Ahead
As both leagues continue to grow, the level of play, drama, and talent development has never been higher. With new rivalries formed and champions crowned, the FSL and JPHL are setting a new standard for elite youth hockey in Western Canada which will only grow next season.
