Game four of the series saw the BWC Bruins face the Host team, the Seafair Islanders. The Opening Ceremonies were done prior to this first night of the Tournament's game as it was the main game at 8pm. A great welcome banquet was held for the teams upstairs at the Richmond Ice Center at Riverport in Richmond .
The Islanders didn't let their hometown fans down with a 3-2 victory over the BWC.
Game five of the Tournament put the Richmond Blues up against the team representing Vancouver Island, the Nanaimo Clippers. The Clippers would soon find themselves outgunned, outplayed and outscored by the hard hitting Blues. In the end, Richmond would go on to romp Nanaimo 12 - 2.
Game six of the round robin play in the BC Hockey Juvenile Championships was between the number one team on the Lower Mainland, the Surrey Thunder against the team representing the Interior, the Winfield Bruins. Winfield soon found out why Surrey got top nods when they exploded onto the board sending shockwaves through the Bruins unsuspecting bench. Winfield wouldn't lay down and give up, they played hard, hit harder (which woke up a few of the Thunder boys) and by the end of the first period Surrey was up by a score of 5-1.
The second period saw Surrey adding to their massive goal total against the battered Bruins and the only dismal part of the game was the poor sportsmanship displayed by the watching fans. The fan's overt celebrations in a lop-sided game were not a great display of integrity nor fair play.
Winfield managed to get a small rally and scored twice to make it 7-3 in favour of Surrey at 6:58 of the second. The third period saw the Bruins demise with two fluke quick goals by Surrey to make it 10-4. The final score would end as Surrey 13 - Winfield 4.
