QRD grabbed their first lead in the third with a powerplay tally from Everett Brown, who converted on a feed from Blake McManus and Kade Osterhout. A few minutes later, Coulter Watson sniped the eventual game-winner, with Cooper Plumley picking up the assist.

The Waxers wasted no time reclaiming the lead five minutes after that. The second period was a grind, with both teams pushing the pace, but neither able to score. The Waxers then broke things open in the third, netting three to put the game out of reach for QRD. In spite of the 5-1 loss, between the pipes, Hayden Tripp made numerous clutch saves to keep his team in it until the final buzzer.

The Wolves wasted no time responding, answering just twelve seconds later to knot things up.

The Breakaway Fuels U11 AAA Quinte Red Devils are Silver Medalists at Barrie Colts Tournament
This weekend the Breakaway Fuels U11 Devils headed to Barrie for the Annual Colts Tournament. The tournament featured 24 teams from Ontario and the US.
The boys went 3-1 in round robin play winning 4-2 over the Brantford 99'ers Friday am before dropping a game 3-0 to the Guelph Gryphons. Saturday they came out flying and secured wins over the Waterloo Wolves 5-1 and Sudbury Wolves 4-1. Their 3-1 round robin record along with the best goal quotient helped secure first place in their division.
Sunday the Breakaway Fuels Boys started with a quarter final match against the Ottawa Valley Silver Seven. This one was all Quinte and the boys would close it out with a 7-3 victory sending them to the semifinals against Victory Honda from Detroit. Victory Honda was coming into the semifinals only allowing 2 goals against so far in their 5 games played at the tournament. The Devils would strike once each period and play a solid 40 mins of defensive hockey to grab a convincing 3-0 win. After a few hours rest it was back on the ice for the Finals against a very strong Huron Perth Lakers team. These teams knew each other well from a double header exhibition day just two weeks prior. The Devils would strike first in this one with Kai Mackie scoring just past the midway mark of the first with assists going to Ethan Dowling and Jackson Simpson. A late goal by the Lakers with just seven seconds remaining in the frame would tie it. The Lakers would score three more before Jackson Simpson would find the back of the net with just one minute remaining in the second from Dowling and Mackie. Mackie would get his second just 40 seconds later from Dowling and Simpson to draw the Devils within one heading into the third. Jayden Stehlik would finish off a tic tac toe play on the power play from Reid Haley and Charlie Dwyer to tie the game with 12:35 left to play. It was edge of your seat action down the stretch but the Lakers would score with 6 minutes remaining and finish with an empty netter to take the game and the title 6-4.
The coaching staff is very proud of the teams effort after dropping a game in the round robin and trailing 4-1 in the finals, the boys battled their hearts out all weekend and should hold their heads high as they head back to league play next weekend.
