Key to the Eagles’ triumph was the outstanding performance of Micah Berger, who was named the playoff MVP. Berger led the postseason in scoring with 25 points in 24 games, including 11 goals and 14 assists. His offensive prowess and consistent play were instrumental in the Eagles’ success.
Surrey’s journey to the cup was marked by resilience and determination.
