AsiaXpat responded early in the second period. Justin Wong tied the game at 2:30 with a shot from the slot, converting a setup from Alvin Sham to make it 1-1. Manulife quickly regained the lead just over a minute later when Jackie Chan fired home a Johnny Leung rebound to restore the 2-1 edge.
The third period featured sustained pressure from AsiaXpat, and Wong delivered again at 9:44, this time going top corner blocker side from a tight angle to knot the game at 2-2. Both teams traded chances late, but goaltenders stood tall to force overtime.
In the extra frame, Manulife capitalized at 3:21 when Yip, parked to the left side of the net, tipped home a Reto Broennimann point shot for the game winner, sending Manulife through to the Championship final.
Sheldon Ng (Manulife LPP) was sharp for Manulife, stopping 15 of 17 shots, while Nicholas Sellars turned aside 19 of 22 in a strong showing for AsiaXpat.

VetiVa overwhelms China Hockey Group 10-2 with explosive offensive performance
VetiVa delivered a dominant 10-2 victory over China Hockey Group, erupting for double-digit goals behind a relentless attack and a massive night from their top line.
VetiVa set the tone in the opening period as Theo Wong struck twice late-first a one timer in the slot at 13:11 on a feed from Matt Ng and Josh Steinhaus, then again at 14:36 with Steinhaus and Ng assisting - to give VetiVa a 2-0 lead after one.
The second period saw VetiVa completely take control. Matt Ng extended the lead at 2:20 with a snipe to the top corner glove side, followed by a goal from Juerg Fritschi at 3:36 when he went blocker side low post from the high slot. Ng added two more at 10:27 and 12:29, both assisted by Wong and Fritschi, pushing the score to 6-1 despite a lone response from Stephen Levac at 10:44 for CHG, a shot from the left boards that went low glove past Adrian Huen.
VetiVa showed no signs of slowing in the third. Wong completed his hat trick early at 2:16, finishing a passing play from Ng and Fritschi, then added two more goals at 5:46 and 8:08 to cap a five-goal night. Levac scored again for CHG at 11:52 off a Warren Ang assist, but Ng closed out the scoring at 12:20 with his fourth goal of the game, assisted by Wong and Steinhaus.
