The championship game of the Skaneateles Tournament, played on January 12, 2008, at the Allyn Arena was a defensive battle which was ultimately decided by power play goals, with the Canandaigua Academy Braves beating the Knights 2 - 1.

The first period opened with a strong attack by the Knights, pinning Canandaigua in their end for long stretches. Despite that, the Braves were the first to tally shots against senior goalie Ben Krenzer, who handily turned them away. The Knights came closing to scoring several times during the period. Early in the period, Braves goalie Mitch Collum nearly misplayed a high dump in shot, which he managed to deflect with his blocker into the corner. Later, the Knights twice struck the goal posts on shots which clearly beat Collum.

Although the Knights dominated play in the first period, the tables were turned in the second, when the Braves turned up their offense. At 3:49 sophomore James Sturnick was chasing down a dump in the Canandaigua, when he was called for a check from behind. With about twenty seconds left on the penalty kill senior defenseman Mitch Bailey was called for holding. Up two men the Braves quicly passed the puck around in an attempt to clear a lane towards the Knights' goal. At 5:01, Britt Kostraba took a pass from Ryan Cronin in the middle slot and beat Krenzer to his blocker side. Killing off the balance of the balance of the Bailey penalty, the Knights went back on offense, but despite taking ten shots at the Braves goal, they were unable to score.

The third period found neither team able to mount any effective offense. At 11:11, senior forward Dan Caufield was called for interference. On the ensuing penalty kill the Knights were unable to clear the puck during a scrum occurring in front of the net. At 11:57, Braves forward Britt Kostraba tallied his second goal of the game when he pushed the puck forward just clearing the inside post on Krenzer's glove side.

As the Knights' bench was calculating when to pull Krenzer in favor of an extra skater, the Braves were called for two penalties at 12:06. The green line power play went into action, but were stymied early on by the Braves' defense. After one clearing pass into the Knights' end, Mitch Bailey picked up the puck at about the top of face off circles and started up towards the Braves' end. With the Braves' forchecker backing, Bailey took advantage and drove towards his left to the top of the circle. He then cut behind a Braves' defender and pulled sharply to his right crosing in front of the Braves' goal snapping a forehand shot into the upper glove side corner at 13:10. Despite continued pressure in the Braves' defensive zone, the Knights were unable to score in the remining minutes of the game

Braves' goalie Mitch Collum made 17 saves, while Knights' goaltender Ben Krenzer stopped 15 shots. Mitch Bailey and Sean Knightly were named to the all tournament team.
