Championship Finals - Young Guns 5 : VetiVa 2
Young Guns capture league title on the back of Danny Chiu’s championship hattrick
The SCIHL championship finals this year was between Young Guns Hockey who led the league most of the year and VetiVa who only made the playoffs after a major turnaround in 2025.
It was VetiVa who opened the scoring just over 2 minutes in as Justin Kuok broke down the left-wing and roofed a shot short side top corner over Cameron Chiu. 8 minutes later, a broken play where VetiVa "thought" they had control in front of their net ended up on the stick of Danny Chiu who was forechecking but was upended as he picked up the puck. However, Chiu while on the ice was able to chip it past Nickolas Sellars on the short side to tie it up. 1-1 tie after the first period.
In the second the teams continued to play a tight-checking game, but with a majority of zone time in the VetiVa end. While VetiVa earned a powerplay mid-period, it was instead, Calix Ma who picked up a Fabrizio Faita clearing and broke past the VetiVa defense, then wiring a laser into the top of the net past Sellars to give Young Guns a 2-1 lead where it remained for the rest of the period.
Danny Chiu scored unassisted again early in the 3rd with his second of the night as he stole the puck and put one by a surprised Sellars. VetiVa was able to back a goal a few minutes later when Art Tam finished a nice pass from behind the net from Robert Chiu to keep VetiVa hopes alive. But as they pressed, Young Guns held the fort and any chances VetiVa came up with, Cameron Chiu was there to close the door.
Towards the end, VetiVa pulled the goalie for the extra attacker, but Fabrizio Faita lifted a clearing out and found the empty net to seal the win. 4-2. Chiu then on the next play, earned his hattrick after he broke by the VetiVa defense, faked a shot in the slot to get Sellars out of position, and then put the puck into the open side to close out the scoring. 5-2 the final.
Nicholas Sellars (VetiVa) faced 35 shots against, while Cameron Chiu (Young Guns) received 16 shots against.
