Sarnia took the early lead in the first, ending the period up 2-1 with goals by Jada Henry and Krystal Adair. Though Bridget Folk extended the lead with a goal early in the second, Orillia battled back, with shots from Kennady Blunt and Madison Valle, to tie it up 3-3 going into the third. The Kings locked in their first Intermediate title with a tie-breaking goal by Marah Roberson with four and a half minutes to go, for a final score of 4-3. The Clarington Gaels fought for their club’s only title at the Festival, trumping the Wallaceburg Griffins 6-2 in the Intermediate B final.

Julia DeVouge scored the Gaels opening goal in the first period, tying the game 1-1. The Gaels tore away from the Griffins in the second with goals from MackenZie Clements, Zoe Chad, and two from Rachel Dowdall.
