Madison Excavating - Minor Peewee

The Madison Excavating Minor Peewee Quinte Red Devils clinched the series against the Ajax Pickering Raiders in the second round of playoffs and secured themselves a spot in the OMHA Minor Peewee AAA Championships in Markham, March 16-18.

The Devil's played host to the Raiders on Wednesday in Madoc. The Devils came out ready after a tough loss over the weekend that tied the series at 1-1. With the stands filled with fans Quinte was ready to play. The first set would end with no score. Ty Therrien would open up the scoring in the second on the set up from Jared Langdon to make it 1-0. The Devils would continue their offence in the third with a goal from Beckett Ewart, assisted by Deacon Ellis to make it 2-0. Gage Butcher would deke his way in to add another less then a minute later on the pass from Thomas Kuipers making it 3-0. Dean Spry would turn away the Raiders and record the shut out for the win.

Quinte would take to the road for game 4 on Saturday hoping to take the series with a win. The Devils hit the scoreboard first with a goal from Landon Wright on the set up from Ty Therrien and Ben Vreugdenhil in the dying minutes of the first. Deacon Ellis would take a shot from the point to give the Devils a 2-0 lead, assisted by Brody Partridge and another by Therrien. The Raiders would sneak one past the Devils netminder a few minutes later but Quinte answered back only seconds later to retake the two goal lead with a shot from Brody Partridge, assisted by Ben Vreugdenhil. Before the end of the second the Raiders would close the gap to 1 goal making it a 3-2 game going into the third. The two teams battled back and forth in the third and it would be an empty netter by Partridge, assisted by Carson Campbell that would seal the 4-2 victory. Mike McIvor was strong between the pipes for the Devils. The win closes the series and sends the Devils to the OMHAs next weekend in Markham.
