The
CrossFit Belleville Bantams had a busy week with three games on the schedule.
On Wednesday night the Red Devils faced the arch rival Kingston Frontenac's and
came away with a win. Brennan Bush was stellar in goal as he stopped all but
two of the Kingston shots.
The first Quinte goal was scored by Michael Andrews on a sweet passing play by Emmett Pierce and Cameron Supryka. The CrossFit Belleville Bantams found themselves trailing at the start of the third period 2-1 but Derrick Vos answered with two goals in 1:25 sending the Red Devils home with a win. Michael Andrews, Dalton Bancroft (2), Cameron Supryka and Daniel Panetta assisted on the goals.
Next up for the CrossFit Belleville Bantams on Saturday were the North Central Predators who came to play and kept the Red Devils off of the scoreboard until 5 minutes remaining in the second period as Michael Andrews scored on the power play from a beauty pass by Emmett Pierce and Zach Uens. North Central would answer back early in the third but that would be all they could muster as Ethan Taylor stopped every shot he faced in the game leading up to this goal and all subsequent shots after. Jake Campbell and Ryan Loiselle would dangle a doozy passing play as they set up Bailey Matthews to give the Red Devils the lead that they would never relinquish. The Red Devils would be kept away from the Predators net until late in the third when Michael Andrews would score his second of the night on a devilish passing play with Jake Campbell. Shortly after that Logan White would snipe a late goal on a pass from Nolan Seto and the set-up man Emmett Pierce with his second sweet assist of the game.
On Sunday, the CrossFit Belleville Red Devils travelled to play the Ajax-Pickering Raiders who spoiled the home opener weekend back in September when they beat the Devils 6-3 to hand them the first loss of the season. Fast forward 18 games and the rematch was set in place but the Red Devils couldn't catch a break and loss 5-1. Brennan Bush was in net for the loss and had very little defensive zone effort help from his teammates. The lone Quinte goal was scored by Logan White with assists going to Emmet Pierce and Cameron Supryka. The Red Devils will need a better effort in the Border Battle Showcase in Mississauga next weekend where they will face-off with some of the best teams in Ontario and the USA.
The CrossFit Belleville Bantams will face St. Louis Blues (Ranked #14 in USA @ 2:15pm Friday), Mississauga Reps (Ranked #3 in Ontario @ 8:00pm Friday), Minuteman Flames (Ranked #16 in USA @2:00pm Saturday), Mid-Field Jr. Rangers (Ranked #5 in USA @ 8:50pm Saturday) and to close out the Showcase they will play the Detroit Compuware (Ranked #12 in USA @ 11:30am Sunday).
