Brook had 10 kills, three aces and six digs to go with plenty of his usual animated celebrations. Tom Friesen also finished with 10 kills.
 
Watt finished with 11 digs and Paycen Warkentin had a match-high five blocks.
 
Calgary was led by Louis Kunstmann’s match-high 17 kills.
 
Liam Kuppe and Zack Durrant tied for the match-high in digs with 13.
