TPH Hockey came out hot in their first game of the 2024 OHL Cup presented by FPS Payment, blanking the Sun County Panthers 7-0.
The victory saw winning contributions from Jackson Webster (1), Luke Broadhead (1), Cameron Wilson (1) and Noah Keyes (1), while Kam Hodgson (3) recorded the tournament’s first hat-trick to earn Player of the Game honours.

Peter Chlebowski was solid between the pipes, making 15 saves for the shutout.
