GMHL Game of the Week: November 24 to 30 2025

 

Friday night at Elvis Stojko Arena, the Richmond Hill Rampage claimed a 7–6 overtime victory over the St. George Ravens in a game that carried meaningful mid-season seeding implications for both South Division clubs.

 

The Ravens, firmly in the South Division contender conversation and pushing for positioning behind the top-seeded Stars, entered the night needing every available point to stay in contact with the division’s leader. Richmond Hill, penciled into the playoff picture as well, is focused on stacking wins through the showcase segment of the schedule to avoid an early head-to-head with the South Division’s top seeds once February arrives.

 

Despite 30 combined shots, the opening frame finished without a goal, with both teams testing structure and pace rather than finishing chances. Penalty trouble surfaced — notably two minors to Yianni Tsatzalis and one to Liam Turner — but strong 5-on-5 play and steady goaltending on both ends kept the period even and the crowd anticipating what was to come.

The game erupted in the second, delivering nine total goals and fully shifting the momentum of the night.

 

St. George opened scoring with a finish by Daniel Tremblay, assisted by Nathaniel Goodbrand and Landon McDougall. Richmond Hill responded immediately, as Tsatzalis scored on the power play, set up by Lucas Codinera and Chad Marin.

 

Goals by Wosik, Tsatzalis, and Tremblay traded in waves, with Codinera actively contributing in transition offence and puck movement from the back end. By the second horn, Richmond Hill’s offensive persistence made it clear they were not backing down, setting the stage for an electric third.

The Ravens reclaimed momentum early when Tremblay completed his hat-trick, off McDougall’s play-driving support.

 

Richmond Hill stayed within striking distance with contributions from their forward group, including a late-game power play goal by Daniel Profyt, assisted by Yianni Tsatzalis and Codinera, making it a 3-point night for the Rampage defender.

The game was ultimately decided in a dramatic overtime, reaching just over the 2 minute mark in the extra frame when forward Reily Wosik buried the winner, capping off a clutch 4-point night and securing  First Star honours.

The duel in the crease was one of the defining storylines:

 

Cameron Whited (Richmond Hill) carried the larger workload, facing 51 total shots, making 45 saves through 65 minutes, finishing the night with an .886 SV%.

 

St. George split duties between Cordell and Hupalo, combining to face 39 shots, making 32 saves over 60 minutes. Cordell turned aside 19 of 21 shots in his 31-minute appearance, while Hupalo made 13 saves on 18 shots in his 34-minute stretch.

 

While Whited did surrender 6 and 7 goals respectively, his resilience behind heavy two-day weekend usage helped anchor the Rampage comeback, ensuring his team secured the extra showcase standings point.
