On Monday March 14, the Minor Peewees went to Richmond Hill for the final game of the series to determine the winner. The first two periods were scoreless as play was fast and end to end with several scoring chances by both teams. Andrew Munro got the call for the final game in the Devil’s net and put on a goaltending clinic in the first two periods to keep the Devils in the game. It wasn’t until midway through the 3rd period, when the Devils finally broke the ice with Trevor Hoskin scoring on a nice feed from Kendrick Webster. Just two minutes later, Corbin Roach scored with another outstanding deke following a pass from Connor Hunt. The Devils would finally add a third “empty net goal” form Connor hunt with just over a minute remaining. Final score for the Devils was 3 to 0 with Andrew Munro collecting his 2nd consecutive shutout.
