ZACH ATTACK 9, QUE SARA SARA 5

B Pool Semi‑Final


The final Sunday of the Spring 2026 season opened with fireworks, as Zach Attack punched their ticket to the Mini‑Bubba Final with a convincing 9–5 win over Que Sara Sara in a fast‑paced, high‑skill B Pool semi‑final.

Both teams entered riding strong momentum — QSS after a remarkable late‑season surge, and Zach Attack backed by leadership and balance — and the opening period delivered exactly the kind of intensity Championship Sunday demanded.

First Period – Chaos from the Drop

Zach Attack struck first, cracking the deadlock before the three‑minute mark, but Que Sara Sara answered quickly. What followed was a frantic stretch where momentum shifted almost every shift.

Que Sara Sara briefly seized control with back‑to‑back goals to go ahead 3–2, fueled by underrated playemaker Luisa Lawson’s finishing touch and captain Dave Allston’s opportunistic play. Zach Attack responded immediately.

Goals from cagey veterans Don Prior and Zachary Verge in an eight‑second span swung the game back, and a late tally from sniper Patrick Gaudreau gave Zach Attack a 5–4 lead at the first break in what was a breathless opening frame.

Second Period – Leadership Takes Over

Que Sara Sara wasted no time tying the game early in the second, as Lawson completed her hat trick to make it 5–5 and keep the pressure squarely on.

That moment proved to be the final opening.

From there, Zach Attack’s depth, leadership, and shot volume took over. Co-captain Mona Le Blanc delivered the eventual game‑winner, settling play and calmly burying a key chance before Zach Attack pulled away with three unanswered goals over the final half of the game.

Verge capped off a dominant performance with a pair of late goals — including an empty‑netter — sealing a statement win and sending Zach Attack through to the final.

Zach Attack finished the morning with a commanding 55–32 edge in shots, applying constant pressure once they regained control.

⭐ Three Stars

🥇 Zachary Verge (ZA) – 4 goals, 2 assists

🥈 Luisa Lawson (QSS) – 3 goals

🥉 Mona Le Blanc (ZA) – 1 goal, 3 assists, GWG



What It Means

• Zach Attack advance to the Mini‑Bubba Final, powered by leadership, balance, and offensive depth.

• Mona Le Blanc reached 775 career OFBHL points, adding yet another milestone to an already legendary résumé.

• Que Sara Sara’s season comes to an end after a remarkable turnaround campaign that saw them rebound from an 0‑6 start to reach Championship Sunday.

Zach Attack delivered when the stakes rose, setting the tone for a dramatic day ahead — and ensuring the final chapter of Spring 2026 was only just beginning.

FEEL IT AGAIN 7, HOT WHEELS 4

A Pool Semi‑Final


The A Pool semi‑final between Feel It Again and Hot Wheels delivered a classic playoff contrast: relentless pressure versus elite execution. When the dust settled, Feel It Again advanced to the Bubba Cup Final with a 7–4 win built on opportunism, leadership, and another standout performance from Stephane Portelance, widely regarded as the top goalie in the league.

Despite being heavily outshot, FIA showed exactly why playoff games are decided by moments — not volumes.

First Period – Efficiency Beats Pressure

Hot Wheels wasted no time establishing tempo, pouring shots on goal from every angle. Feel It Again weathered the early surge and struck first, with energetic Patrick Auger opening the scoring.

Hot Wheels responded quickly, but FIA answered again — this time through star rearguard Ashley Clow, who began asserting influence all over the floor. Sharpshooter Stephane Chenier followed soon after, and another Clow tally late in the period gave Feel It Again a 4–2 edge heading into the break.

Behind the scoreline was the story already forming: Hot Wheels had piled up shots, but Portelance stood firm, turning aside chance after chance and keeping FIA in complete control of the outcome.

Second Period – The Wall Holds

The second period followed a familiar script. Hot Wheels pushed relentlessly, cutting into the lead with playmaker Dan Ballem tallying, but every hint of momentum was met with calm resistance.

Feel It Again answered with authority. League matriarch Cindy Bertrand buried what would stand as the game‑winner early in the frame, before Chenier and sneaky-good Brooke Dodd extended the lead. Even as Hot Wheels continued to press, Portelance remained unshaken, finishing the game with 47 saves on 51 shots in yet another demonstration of playoff‑level goaltending.

FIA went on to the final horn ahead 7–4, having survived wave after wave of pressure through discipline and belief.

⭐ Three Stars

🥇 Ashley Clow (FIA) – 2 goals, 2 assists

🥈 Stephane Chenier (FIA) – 2 goals, 1 assist

🥉 Valerie Gies (HW) – 1 goal, 1 assist

What It Means

• Feel It Again advance to the Bubba Cup Final, doing so while missing young phenom Mason Frewen, sidelined with a broken ankle. Veteran Devin McManus, pressed into the lineup on short notice, provided exactly what was needed — steady presence, vision, and composure.

• Ashley Clow, Portelance's better half, also widely regarded as one of the city’s elite players, reached the 100‑goal mark and led by example in a defining playoff performance.

• Hot Wheels exit after an aggressive, hard‑driving effort, undone only by elite goaltending and timely finishing.

When the pressure mounted, Feel It Again didn’t blink. With Portelance anchoring the way and leaders delivering at both ends, FIA earned their place in the Spring 2026 Bubba Cup Final.

LUCKY CHARMS 11, THE GREAT WALL OF NATE 10

B Pool Semi‑Final

If Championship Sunday needed a reminder that regular‑season standings mean very little once the puck drops, this was it.

In one of the wildest games of the Spring 2026 season, last‑place Lucky Charms stunned B-Pool top‑seed The Great Wall of Nate with an 11–10 victory, completing an improbable postseason run and grabbing a spot in the Mini‑Bubba Final with a goal in the final minute.

The result was remarkable on its own. The circumstances made it unforgettable.

First Period – Chaos Without the Captains

Both teams entered the semi‑final missing their captains — 6-time league points leader Austin Perron for TGWON and star playmaker Brock Murray for Lucky Charms — each absent due to a separate competitive tournament. Their impact loomed large, but their replacements wasted no time making their presence felt.

The Great Wall of Nate exploded early behind the scoring touch of Austin's brother, also elite sniper Nick Perron, stepping in and immediately setting the tone. TGWON raced out to a 6–2 lead, appearing to be in full control.

Lucky Charms refused to fade. Late goals brought them back within striking distance at 6–3 heading into the break, planting the seed for what was to come.


Second Period – No One Blinked

The second half was nothing short of relentless.

Every time TGWON threatened to pull away, Lucky Charms answered. Rich Tattrie, filling in for Brock’s absence, delivered an extraordinary performance — driving play, finishing chances, and relentlessly applying pressure.

The game featured six lead changes or ties in the second period alone, with neither team able to hold momentum for more than a few shifts. TGWON continued to get production from everywhere, with Nick Perron finishing the game with an astounding 7‑goal, 2‑assist effort, while spares Aly Richer (3 assists) and Valerie Gies (2g-1a) chipped in with timely contributions.

Still, Lucky Charms would not go away.

With the score tied 10–10 late, the impossible suddenly felt inevitable. With just 35 seconds remaining, Lucky Charms struck once more — the final blow in an unforgettable rally — with Rich banging home a rebound, sealing the upset and sending his temporary team to the B-Pool Mini Bubba Championship game.



⭐ Three Stars

🥇 Steve Andrews (LC) – 3 goals, 1 assist

🥈 Martin Leury (LC) – 1 goal, 4 assists

🥉 Ben Conrad (TGWON) – 3 assists



What It Means

• Lucky Charms advance to the Mini‑Bubba Final, completing a stunning postseason run after finishing last in the regular season with just 1 win to their credit in their 12 games.

• With captain Brock Murray absent, Rich Tattrie’s 5‑goal, 2‑assist performance epitomized leadership under pressure, while Steve Andrews (3g-1a), Martin Leury (1g-4a), and spare Ann Car (1g-1a) added key depth contributions.

• Nick Perron’s 7‑goal, 2‑assist outburst nearly carried TGWON through, a performance worthy of any playoff legend.

• The Great Wall of Nate exit heartbreakingly short, undone only by relentless pressure and an opponent unwilling to quit.

From the opening faceoff to the dying seconds, this game captured everything Championship Sunday promises — unpredictability, courage, and the belief that on this stage, anything truly is possible.

THE BREAKFAST CLUB 5, JAHN ON THE ROX 2

A Pool Semi‑Final

The final A Pool semi‑final delivered a familiar playoff theme with a sharp edge: pressure met by poise.

Despite being heavily outshot for the second straight week, The Breakfast Club advanced to the Bubba Cup Final with a 5–2 win over Jahn on the Rox, powered once again by the calm brilliance of emerging star netminder Pascal Rochon and a complete, captain‑driven performance from Jason Muscant.


First Period – Opportunities Taken, Chances Denied

Jahn on the Rox wasted no time establishing tempo, firing shots early and often. The Breakfast Club absorbed the pressure and struck decisively.

Goals from speedy 2-way star Robin Pitman, veteran Roxanne Pilon, and sharpshooter Jeff Murphy gave TBC a 3–0 cushion midway through the opening period, capitalizing on limited but high‑quality chances. Jahn on the Rox found a response through fireballer Bradley McCarter, whose finishing touch finally broke through late in the frame, cutting the deficit to 3–1.

Behind the scoreline, the defining trend was already clear — Jahn on the Rox were generating volume, but Rochon was in complete control, turning aside chance after chance.



Second Period – The Net Stayed Closed

The pace continued unabated in the second. Jahn on the Rox pressed relentlessly, outshooting The Breakfast Club by a wide margin and doing everything possible to tilt momentum.

Once again, Rochon stood tall.

His captain Muscant rewarded him with an unassisted goal, but at the other end, McCarter struck again to make it 4–2 and briefly raise tension — a sequence that perfectly captured his influence on both sides of the floor. A late empty‑netter sealed the result, but the outcome had already been shaped between the pipes.

Rochon finished the morning with an outstanding 48 saves on 50 shots, delivering one of the most commanding performances of Championship Sunday.



⭐ Three Stars

🥇 Pascal Rochon (TBC) – 48 saves on 50 shots (.960 SV%)

🥈 Jason Muscant (TBC) – 1 goal, 2 assists

🥉 Bradley McCarter (JOTR) – 2 goals



What It Means

• The Breakfast Club advance to the Bubba Cup Final, once again leaning on discipline, timely execution, and elite goaltending.

• Rookie netminder Pascal Rochon continues a star‑making postseason, thriving under immense shot volume on the biggest stage. And fittingly, he'll be facing all-world goalie Stephane Portelance in the Bubba Cup Final in what promises to be an all-time goalie duel.

• Captain Jason Muscant, playing in his 350th career OFBHL game, delivered a textbook two‑way performance when control mattered most.

• Jahn on the Rox exit with heads high after generating sustained pressure and pushing the top seed to the limit.

With two thrilling semi‑final wins in the books, the stage is now fully set — The Breakfast Club vs Feel It Again for the Spring 2026 Bubba Cup.

ZACH ATTACK 9, LUCKY CHARMS 3

Mini‑Bubba Final

The Spring 2026 Mini‑Bubba Final brought together two teams on vastly different journeys — and ended with experience, clarity, and veteran leadership steering Zach Attack to another championship banner.

Fresh off an improbable Cinderella run, last‑place Lucky Charms struck first. But once Zach Attack found their footing, the game tilted decisively, culminating in a 9–3 Mini‑Bubba Final victory that showcased why big moments continue to favor teams built on composure and depth.



First Period – A Surge, Then a Statement

Lucky Charms wasted no time extending their magical run, scoring twice in the opening minutes to jump out to a surprising 2–0 lead and briefly threaten another upset.

That lead lasted less than three minutes.

Zach Attack answered immediately through underrated playmaker Patrick Gaudreau, who began an unstoppable first‑period stretch that would define the final. Goals from seasoned-veteran Don Prior and star co-captain Kelly Brant followed in quick succession, flipping momentum entirely. From there, the floodgates opened.

Gaudreau buried his second unassisted marker moments later, Prior added another from close range, and as the period wound down Zach Attack struck twice more — including a late goal from now veteran Kaitlin Heron with only seconds remaining. By the break, Zach Attack had turned a 0–2 deficit into a commanding 7–2 lead, delivering a championship‑level response when it mattered most.


Second Period – Control and Closure

Lucky Charms continued to battle, cutting the deficit to 7–3 through 3rd-year sensation Sophie Berthiaume, a fitting final contribution to a remarkable playoff run.

Any thought of a comeback was short‑lived.

Zach Attack tightened defensively and let their leaders close the door. Stud rearguard Zachary Verge added an insurance goal midway through the frame, and Kelly finished the scoring late, sealing the result and the title.

Between the pipes, Joel Legault was calm and consistent, stopping 36 of 39 shots and ensuring there was no late drama as Zach Attack ran away confidently to the final horn.



⭐ Three Stars

🥇 Don Prior (ZA) – 2 goals, 3 assists

🥈 Patrick Gaudreau (ZA) – 3 goals (hat trick), GWG

🥉 Joel Legault (ZA) – 36 saves on 39 shots



A Mini‑Bubba Rooted in Legacy

This championship further cements the place of Zach Attack’s core within OFBHL history.

• Kelly Brant captures her 5th Mini‑Bubba, continuing a career synonymous with championship moments.

• Mona Le Blanc earns her 3rd Mini‑Bubba, adding yet another title to a résumé already defined by longevity and leadership.

• Don Prior also wins his 3rd Mini‑Bubba, punctuating a postseason run of 11 points in 3 games while playing in his 499th career OFBHL game.

• Patrick Gaudreau, with his championship‑game hat trick, claims his 2nd Mini‑Bubba, same for his better half Steph Giroux.

• Zachary Verge also earns his 2nd Mini‑Bubba, capping a strong season for the team they named after him.

• Kaitlin Heron, who's been playing in our league since she was about 13 years old, and her stalwart Dad, Peter, each add their 2nd Mini‑Bubba, with Kaitlin delivering a clutch goal on the sport’s biggest stage.

• Joel Legault, steady throughout the playoffs, secures his 1st Mini‑Bubba between the pipes.

For Lucky Charms, the result doesn’t tarnish the story. Finishing last in the regular season with just one win, they authored one of the most improbable playoff runs the league has ever seen — pushing a top seed to the brink, then reaching Championship Sunday through belief and resilience alone.



What It Means

• Zach Attack are crowned Mini‑Bubba Champions, once again proving that veteran composure wins when chaos reigns.

• Don Prior's 2 goals and 3 assists and Patrick Gaudreau’s hat‑trick performances headline a final dominated by leadership and experience.

• Lucky Charms close the season as one of Spring 2026’s most memorable teams, their run destined to be discussed for years to come.

• One trophy down — one more to go.

FEEL IT AGAIN 3, THE BREAKFAST CLUB 2 (SO)

Bubba Cup Final

The Spring 2026 season ended with a Bubba Cup Final that will be spoken about for years.

In a championship defined by composure, endurance, and the finest goaltending the league has ever seen on the biggest stage, #2 seed Feel It Again captured the Bubba Cup with a 3–2 shootout victory over #1 The Breakfast Club, after two scoreless overtime periods and a dramatic shootout that required every player on both rosters.

This wasn’t just a final.

It was a duel.

A Final Built on the Crease

From the opening faceoff, it was clear the championship would run through the goalies.

Stephane Portelance (Feel It Again) and Pascal Rochon (The Breakfast Club) — the league’s #1 and #2 goaltenders all season long — delivered a masterclass that embodied everything playoff ball hockey is about.

• Rochon finished the regular season 1st in both GAA (2.50) and save percentage (94.02%)

• Portelance entered the final ranked 2nd in GAA (3.12) and 2nd in save percentage (91.29%)

By the end of the afternoon, both had elevated those numbers — and the championship itself — even further.



First Period – Trading Blows

The Breakfast Club struck first when fireballer Jeff Murphy converted on a broken‑play chance midway through the period, snapping the big crowd to attention.

The response came swiftly.

Captain Sean Frewen, buoyed by history and expectation, answered for Feel It Again with a composed finish to level the score at 1–1. Even then, the tone was set: chances would be scarce, mistakes punished, and saves legendary.

Second Period – Final‑Second Drama

Feel It Again took their first lead early in the second when sniper Stephane Chenier finished a smart sequence set up by underrated playmaker Brooke Dodd and ultimate rearguard Ashley Clow, making it 2–1.

Just when it seemed Portelance might carry the lead through regulation, the Breakfast Club found salvation with just two ticks left on the scoreclock.

With their goalie out in favour of an extra attacker, Jeff Murphy, already the hero once, struck again on a last‑gasp play to tie the game 2–2 — forcing overtime and ensuring this final would not be decided quietly.

Overtime #1 – 5:00 of 4‑on‑4, Nothing Given

The first overtime period followed league playoff standard: five minutes of 4‑on‑4.

The floor opened up, but neither goalie flinched. Portelance swallowed rebounds under pressure. Rochon challenged shooters at the top of the crease, reading release points with unnerving calm.

Five minutes passed.

No goals.

Overtime #2 – 5:00 of 3‑on‑3, Pure Nerves

Next came five minutes of 3‑on‑3 — speed, spacing, and exhausted legs.

Chances came at both ends. Both goalies still said no.

Portelance tracked cross‑slot attempts through traffic. Rochon shut the door on break‑ins and sharp‑angle looks despite visibly heavy workload over the day. When the horn sounded again, disbelief rippled through the gym.

Only one stage remained.

The Shootout – Eleven Rounds of Resilience

League rules demanded it: all eight roster players must shoot before anyone can go again.

Both teams complied.

Both goalies denied every single attempt.

Sixteen shooters.

Zero goals.

Portelance and Rochon were walls.

Then came the second cycle.

Each team sent their top guy — then their top girl — and still the stalemate held.

The masked bandits were thwarting every attempt.

Finally, two captains stepped forward.

Jason Muscant, veteran leader of The Breakfast Club, moved in again — and was turned aside by Portelance, who was visibly exhausted but whose focus never wavered.

Up next: Sean Frewen.

After ringing iron on his first attempt, Frewen approached slowly with noted baby steps — almost cautiously. As you see in the video, with those soft steps, Frewen froze Rochon with a subtle fake from the slot, then snapped a shot that kissed the same far post and slipped home past Rochon's trapper.

Pandemonium followed.



⭐ Three Stars

🥇 Stephane Portelance (FIA) – 48 saves on 50 shots (.960 SV%)

🥈 Pascal Rochon (TBC) – 46 saves on 48 shots (.958 SV%)

🥉 Sean Frewen (FIA) – Regulation goal & Cup‑winning shootout winner



A Bubba Cup Etched in History

With this championship, Feel It Again live up to their name, as captain and league commish Sean Frewen, his wife and league matriarch Cindy Bertrand, and their son Mason Frewen (out for the playoffs with a broken ankle) repeated as Bubba Cup Champions, further cementing their dominance together.

✅ UPDATED Bubba Cup Totals – Feel It Again Roster (After Spring 2026):

Sean Frewen & Cindy Bertrand – 7 Bubba Cups now stand alone on top
