Devils placed fifth out of twelve teams, narrowly missing the semi finals.
On Friday the Devils would take on the Kitchener Rangers in their first game of the tournament.

Tucker McKichan was in net for the Devils.
The Devils were much better in their second game of the day when they faced the Elgin Middlesex Chiefs, and although they fired 30 shots at the Chiefs goalie, it wasn’t until 44 seconds left in the game when the Devils scored to get the 3-3 tie. Lighting the lamp for the Devils was Tyson Carr, Cal Uens and Jack Dever. Adding the helpers on the goals was Ethan Quick (2), Nick Oke, Uens and Dever. Jacob Brown was in net for the Devils.
On Saturday, the Devils knew that they would need two big wins to advance to the semi finals.

Scoring for the Red Devils was Uens (2), Dever, Christopher Brydges, Vince Bellavance and Ethan Osborne. Chipping in with assists on the goals was Oke (2), Uens, Brydges, Carr, Quick, Josh Cunningham and Ben Lynch. Jacob Brown was sharp between the pipes in the win.
In their fourth game of the tournament, the Devils would face the London Jr. Knights, and the boys were looking to even the score with the Knights after losing to them in their home tournament earlier in the season. In a very fast game, where both teams exchanged chances, each team only managed to find the back of the net once. Scoring the lone goal for the Red Devils was Spencer Cranley, assisted by Nick Oke. The Devils Defensive core of Ben Danford, Duncan Schneider, Christopher Brydges, Clayton Rose, Josh Cunningham, and Tyson Carr played a very solid game, limiting the Knights scoring chances.
