The evening began with the Lumberjacks and Paddlers, who combined for over 50 points in a fast-paced, high-scoring matchup. Both teams traded goals throughout, closing out their seasons with a strong showing. In the championship game, the Idaho Spuds faced the Swamp Ducks.

With just three minutes remaining, the Spuds put together a late run of five unanswered goals, taking the lead with less than 30 seconds left. The comeback secured the win, the championship belt, and an undefeated season.
