The final game to mark the half way point in the season and the break for the Christmas holidays was an entertaining one that finished in a 5 all draw and had to be settled on a shootout. The action was end to end with some stellar scoring plays featured by both teams throughout the game. That said, the RTM Asia had the distinct advantage in shots and were it not for the stellar goaltending from Boyce Wong, the score would have favoured RTM Asia. Some were heard to remark that was the best game they ever saw Boyce play and his coach, Stuart Winchester agreed that it was one of his finest performances. On at least five occasions he gloved shots that were heading for the top shelf including several off Wayne Tsang, RTM Asia's star player who was in disbelief how many times he was robbed of a goal. Boyce's counterpart, Cameron Seymour, also had a strong game and robbed Dbee players of several sure goals as well. The game went back and forth and there was never more than a one goal differential. In the end on the fourth shootout, Willem Mellin of the Baird Dbees made a "sick" deke to pot the winning goal, a play he called and reminescient of Stall's goal against the Edmonton Oilers in the shootout played the day before in Minnesota. The season total wins have the RTM Asia team slightly ahead of the Baird Dbees so the second half promises equally exciting.
