FFHL Finals Recap | Devils Claim Gold After Dramatic Shootout

Hello Flying Farangs,

Finals night delivered everything we could have hoped for: big goals, playoff intensity, overtime drama, and a shootout that required a full bench rotation to decide the champion. It was a fantastic way to close the on-ice portion of the Flying Farangs Hockey League season.

🥉 Bronze Medal Game

Ratchada Reapers 4 – Bangna Beavers 1

The Ratchada Reapers secured the bronze medal with a strong performance against the Bangna Beavers. The Reapers set the tone early when Jouni Heinonen opened the scoring and gave his team the early lead.

Jouni’s performance earned him the Sportsman Player of the Game as the Reapers controlled the game and closed out the season with a well-earned victory.

🥇 Gold Medal Game

Pattaya Wolves vs Yannawa Devils
Final Score: 5–4 Devils (Shootout)

The championship game delivered a true playoff classic. The Wolves and Devils battled to a 4–4 tie in regulation, forcing overtime.

Despite several great chances in overtime, neither team could break the deadlock, sending the game to a dramatic shootout.

It took a full bench rotation before a winner was decided, when Bank stepped up and scored the winning goal to secure the gold medal for the Yannawa Devils.

The Sportsman Player of the Game went to Permchok, who delivered an incredible performance by scoring back-to-back-to-back goals, tying the game and forcing overtime in one of the most memorable performances of the season.

FFHL Week 4 Recap: 13-Goal Thriller and Wolves Shutout Performance

Week 4 of the Flying Farangs Hockey League delivered two very different but equally exciting games — a high-scoring offensive showdown followed by a composed defensive masterclass.

Game 1: Ratchada Reapers 7 – Yannawa Devils 6

In one of the most entertaining games of the season, the Reapers and Devils combined for 13 goals in a back-and-forth battle. Momentum shifted constantly as both teams pushed the pace.

Jonathan Bourbonnais of the Ratchada Reapers earned Player of the Game honors with two key goals that helped secure the narrow 7–6 victory.

Game 2: Pattaya Wolves 2 – Bangna Beavers 0

The night closed with a clinical performance from the Pattaya Wolves. Strong defensive structure and disciplined play limited chances for the Beavers, and goaltender US delivered a flawless performance.

Stopping every shot faced, US recorded a 100% save percentage shutout to earn Player of the Game honors.
