CHG answered immediately as Art Tam (CHG LPP) scored a onetimer as Jerry Ho (CHG LPP) fed a pass from behind the net, to regain the lead heading into the third.
In the final frame, Matt Ng finished a 2 on 1 with Tam for the insurance marker, before Jason Wong sealed the win and his hattrick, with an empty-net goal at 14:21 to round out the scoring.

GAME 2
VetiVa overwhelms JOG Sports 7-2 with explosive offense
VetiVa delivered a dominant offensive performance, rolling past JOG Sports 7-2 in a game that quickly tilted in their favor. Matt Ng opened the scoring at 3:36 of the first period with a tap in on the side of the net after Martin Jim stopped Theo Wong’s breakaway, but JOG briefly answered when Leon Mo tied it at 7:24. At the end of the first, VetiVa thought they restored the lead when Art Tam finished a scramble in front of the net and scored post and in, only to have the refs rule the buzzer had gone off before the puck completely crossed the line. 1-1 after the first.
From there, VetiVa took full control. On the first shift of the 2nd period, Art Tam restored the lead with a backhand post and in, off a nice entry and feed from Theo Wong. Paul Chai followed with his goal low glove from the slot after taking a great pass from Jason Wong (VetiVa LPP) from the corner, and Theo Wong made it 4-1 late in the period with Ng collecting the assist.
The floodgates opened in the third as Chai scored just 30 seconds in as he pounced on a loose rebound, Jason Wong added another 2 minutes later, and Jason Wong completed his night with his second a few minutes later. Oscar Lam managed a late marker for JOG at 11:40, but the outcome was long decided.
Adrian Huen was solid between the pipes for VetiVa with 10 saves on 12 shots, while Martin Jim faced relentless pressure, stopping 17 of 24.
Three Stars of the Game:
1. Paul Chai (VetiVa) - 2 goals, 1 assist
2. Matt Ng (VetiVa) - goal, 2 assists

GAME 3
Manulife edges AsiaXpat 3-2 in a tightly contested battle
Manulife held off AsiaXpat 3-2 in a hard-fought matchup that remained undecided until the final minutes. AsiaXpat struck first early in the opening frame when Art Tam (AsiaXpat LPP) capitalized with a shot from the top of the right circle that went in off the top of the pad and under the glove for a 1-0 Xpat lead. Manulife responded at 7:41, catching Xpat on a bad line change, as Jackie Chan threaded a pass to a streaking Jason Yip on the far side of the net as he tipped it past Martin Jim (AsiaXpat LPP) to even the score at 1-1 after the first.
Manulife took their first lead of the night early in the second period when Ryan CL Lee converted on the power play at 1:40 with a seeing eye shot from the point that sailed past a screened Jim.
In the 3rd, AsiaXpat finally tied things up late in the third at 10:20 when Rick Chu buried a shot from the high slot, setting the stage for a tense finish. Late in the 3rd, Alvin Sham's breakaway was turned aside by Grant Phillips to preserve the tie, and that was key, as the decisive moment came with just over a minute remaining when Jackie Chan struck at 13:53, finishing a feed from Leroy Hung who beat the race for the puck, sat behind the net waiting for help, and finding Chan as he drove the net, one timing the pass to seal the win.
Grant Phillips was steady in goal for Manulife, stopping 24 of 26 shots, while Martin Jim (LPP) faced heavy pressure, turning aside 11 of 14 for AsiaXpat.
Three Stars of the Game:
1. Jackie Chan (Manulife) - 1 goal, 2 assists
