Despite a Missionary three-goal lead after the first period, Community rallied in the second to take the lead and carry the win home through the third.

Missionary opened the game with three unanswered goals in the first period. Cody Glesson worked with Shane Stege and Brad Sikkema to open the scoring. Sikkema took a pass from Tim Thalen later in the period to bury the second Missionary goal. Late in the period, Mark Glazema picked up a loose puck and sent it into the back of the net. That completed the Missionary offence.

Community took over in the second period. Brad Shantz took charge and scored two quick goals to begin the second period, assisted by Joey Clemmer and Tony Martin. The trio connected to connect, with Shantz and Martin setting up Clemmer for the tying goal.

The go-ahead goal was scored by Gerald Martin to end the period with the lead. Assisted by Delmer Frey and Rick Brubacher.

Community held onto the lead throughout the third and added one more final insurance goal. Tony Martin set up Calvin Martin for a shot into the net.
