With both teams looking to pick up their second win of the tournament, the Saskatoon Contacts faced off against the Cole Harbour MaCains in the afternoon match on day 3. Saskatoon began with some added adversity, when they were forced to start shorthanded, when they took a delay of game penalty before the first face-off. The period was evenly played as both teams took turns controlling play in the other teams end. Cole Harbour controlled play late in the period with the great work by Zach Sill and line-mates along the boards in the Contacts end, eventually forcing the Contacts to take a penalty. On the ensuing power play, Sill scored from the left face-off dot to put the MaCains up 1-0 at 16:44. The MaCain forwards put on a great display of fore-checking, finishing their checks and not allowing the contacts defensemen much time with the puck. The period ended with the Contacts out shooting the MaCains 11-5, but down 1-0.
