Jamie Glance scored with 2:37 left in regulation to give Team Blue the game-winner in a 5-4 finish at the 2026 Chipotle All-American Game at USA Hockey Arena in Plymouth, Mich.
 
After a disallowed goal in the first period, Wyatt Cullen broke a scoreless deadlock at 12:21 of the second period for his first of two goals in the frame. The NTDP forward Minnesota commit converged on the forecheck with teammate Mikey Berchild, forcing a turnover and converting with a shot through the five-hole. He scored again at 5:40 of the frame, cutting behind Team Blue’s defense in the neutral zone, taking a pass from NTDP teammate Dayne Beuker and scoring to the glove side. The NTDP connection manifested itself again with less than two minutes left in the second period, making it 3-3 after 40 minutes, but this time it was Bueker on the receiving end of a pass from Denver commit Berchild, who found the center unattended for a wrist shot from the slot.
 
Sioux City Musketeers forward Will Tomko put Team Blue on the board at 9:00 of the second period, deflecting NTDP defensman and Denver commit Logan Lutner’s shot from the point. Tomko’s goal was shortly followed by another tally from Team Blue - this time a spinaroud, short-side snipe from the slot courtesy of NTDP forward AJ Garcia. After surrendering its lead, Team Blue regained the advantage at 5:13 of the second period when Youngstown Phantoms forward and Jack Hextall found NTDP forward, and fellow Michigan State commit Brody George unattended in the neutral zone and sent him in for a breakaway.
 
Green Bay Gamblers forward and Wisconsin commit Zach Wooten scored Team White’s final goal, while Sioux Falls Stampede forward Cooper Soller had the empty-net insurance goal for Team Blue.
Boston College commit Ryan Cameron of the Cedar Rapids RoughRiders made 17 saves on 18 shots for Team Blue, while Western Michigan commit Luke Carrithers had six stops. Tobias Trejbal of the Youngstown Phantoms had a perfect 19-save performance, while Muskegon Lumberjacks goalie Will Keane tookover halfway through the game and made seven stops.
 
Cullen was named MVP with two goals and one assist. Bueker also had a three-point game with one goal and two assists.
