HL Anyang, led by head coach Baek Ji-sun, won 5-1 with Ahn Jin-hwi and Kang Min-wan's scoring shots in the third game of the 2024-2025 Asian League Ice Hockey Final against Red Eagles Hokkaido at HL Anyang Ice Rink on the 3rd. HL Anyang, which has recorded 2-1 wins and 1 loss in the series, will have only one win left for the integrated championship (regular league-playoff championship) for three consecutive seasons.
Captain Ahn Jin-hwi led the attack with one goal and two assists, including the winning goal, and Kang Min-wan scored two goals to seal the victory. The goalkeeper Matt Dalton, who announced his retirement this season, secured the victory with an iron wall defense with 31 saves.
HL Anyang, which failed to score a power play goal (number advantage due to opponent penalties) in the first and second games of the final, took the lead by scoring the first and additional goals without missing a power play chance early in the third game.
In the 16th minute of the first period, Nam Hee-doo finished with a long-distance lister to score a power-play goal when Hanja and Chikara posted a pass from the right side of the attack area toward the blue line, and in the 18th minute and 38th minute, Jeon Jung-woo, Kang Yoon-seok, and Ahn Jin-hwi scored an additional goal with a picturesque pass connection. Kang Yoon-seok centered a pass that Jeon Jung-woo stabbed from the left side of the offensive area, and Ahn Jin-hwi lightly changed the direction of the puck and scored his second power play goal.
HL Anyang was chased 2-1 by Kohei Mitamura's comeback goal, but Kang Min-wan's scoring shot sealed the victory. Kang Min-wan shot again and split the goal net when An Jin-hwi's shot hit the post at 11:16 of the second period, and sealed the game by scoring his second goal with assist from Yusei Otsu and An Jin-hwi at 3:03 of the third period.
The Red Eagles tried hard at 14:18 of the third period by taking out the gatekeeper and putting in additional strikers, but after Lee Don-gu intercepted the opponent's puck with 4:55 left in the game, he put a powerful slap shot into the empty net.
Game 4 of the final will be held at HL Anyang Ice Rink at 4 p.m. on the 5th.
