Young got the offence started for the Broncos just three minutes in, slapping home a rebound off a Sydney Jack wraparound attempt to give Olds College a 1-0 lead, which they held through the first intermission.

The Broncos struck again early in the second, as Greenhough picked up a loose puck in the corner before walking out to the slot and beating Whelen high for a 2-0 Broncos lead through 40 minutes.

Tiringer iced the game midway through the third, keeping a puck in Rattler territory and walking through the Medicine Hat defence before beating Whelen over the pad extend the lead to three before Kramer added an insurance marker in the dying minutes.
