The Kodiaks looked to close out the season with a win as they duked it out at Comet Stadium in Raymond against the visiting RDP Kings.

After a big rush by the Kodiaks and a loss of possession, the ball was taken by the Kings down the pitch into the Kodiaks end where they connected on some shifty passes, RDP's #6 Kaidri Bornyi with a laser beats Lethbridge's goaltender short side to give Red Deer an early 1-0 lead. Minutes later, the Kings had another amazing chance, getting past the Kodiaks goalkeeper but barely missing the net to keep the game 1-nil.

After pocking at the Kings in the offensive zone they were able to get set up and get the ball right to Kodiaks #20 Brandon Francis's feet and let it rip, beating the Kings goalkeeper leaving him not knowing what happened, tying the game back at 1. Right after the Kodiaks got a great rush and #9 Jaxon Uhl got around the RDP netminder leaving him with a wide-open net when he was robbed by a Kings defender who came sliding in, keeping the ball out of the net, and the game tied. The Kodiaks were really putting the pressure on the Kings in the final minutes of the half generating chance after chance but just barely missing preventing the Kodiaks from gaining a lead before the 1st half came to a close. In extra time of the 1st half Kodiaks Goalkeeper Ethan Demers misjudged on an unfortunate call leaving him ejected after receiving a red card which the Kings capitalized giving them the 2-1 lead headed into halftime.

The 2nd half lacked the intensity that the 1st did, as The RDP Kings were just trying to defend their lead as the Kodiaks looked to try and find a way around their defense to get the game back to even doing everything they could but struggled to get through leaving them with little time to generate strong offensive chances. With 15 minutes left in regulation time, the Kodiaks did just that, with the ball ending up in the feet of Kodiaks Captain Vincent Dyck was able to get the shot off and blowing it past the Kings goalkeeper to tie the game up at 2.

In the final minutes of play, Kodiaks GK Trey Lukye made multiple huge saves coming up big and keeping the game tied at 2 as both teams scrounged for anything they could do to win the match, but both the Kings and Kodiaks were incredibly tough on defense resulting in the game ending in a 2-2 to tie in the Kodiaks final matchup of the season.
