The Hamilton Outlaws edged the Hamilton Ducks 5-2 in a lively contest. Early fireworks saw the Ducks strike twice first through Coach Fio and Ben Ballantyne, but the Outlaws answered with three first-period goals from Eric Cerino, Travis Hood and Ralph Taggart to seize momentum. In the second, the Outlaws added two more goals from Justin Hancock and another by Travis Hood while both teams picked up a handful of penalties — the game included some penalties. Both squads showed grit and attacking flair in a spirited, entertaining matchup.
