Boys' Final: Småland 4-1 Skåne
Småland went unbeaten through the group stage and playoffs, defeating Skåne 4-1 in their earlier group meeting in Ulricehamn. In the final at Hatstore Arena, attended by 2,220 spectators, Olle Sandberg scored the opener at 7:05 of the first period. Isak Alvudd added a power-play goal with one second left in the period for 2-0. Alvudd struck again at 7:03 of the second on a counterattack to make it 3-0. Emil Ronnemo extended the lead to 4-0 late, before Casper Scherstén's goal with 26 seconds remaining set the final score at 4-1.
Alvudd, who also starred in the semifinal with a shootout winner, said, "Det är obeskrivligt, det är jäkligt mäktigt." Sandberg contributed three points and noted, "Vi går ut och spelar exakt som vi sa, alla stämplat in." This marks Småland's second straight boys' title, last achieved on home ice by Ångermanland in 2015.

Värmland made history in their first final appearance, unbeaten and with shutouts in every game. Goaltender Clara Björck was pivotal, as the team had never advanced beyond the quarterfinals before.

In the second period, after two Dalarna penalties including too many players on the ice, Irma Junzell made it 3-0.
Björck credited the defense: "Det är på grund av backarna." Coach Niclas Malmquist praised the team: "De är helt underbara både på och utanför isen." Top scorer Molly Pihlström said, "Vi har bra sammanhållning, jobbar för varandra och är positiva."
