ETA SHOWCASE WEEKEND
Free Flow Minor Midgets
The Free Flow Minor Midgets travelled to Aurora this past weekend to compete in the ETA Showcase in front of OHL, USPORTS and NCAA scouts. The two day event featured all 13 teams in the ETA playing in one venue.
Up Saturday was a key East division matchup against the Peterboro Petes. Peterboro came out flying early and scored the first goal of the game in the first minute. While both teams were not sharp, Red Devils tied it up 8 mins later on a snipe from Isaac Langdon with Gavyn Stevenson and Brayden Robinson assisting. That's the way things stayed until midway through the 2nd period when Petes struck for 2 quick goals on some fortuitous bounces to go up 3-1. However, the Devils did not fold and struck back just over a minute later with 2 tallies of their own 16 seconds apart by Jacob Vreugdenhil and Isaac Langdon. Helpers were supplied by Karsten Leonard, Curtis Dicks and Stevenson. Things stayed tied until early in the 3rd when Petes struck again in the first minute with the go ahead goal. They added another midway through the period before notching an empty net goal to skate away with the win. Ethan McDonnell was solid in net.
Sunday the boys faced their west division rivals, the Ajax Pickering Raiders. Devils came out flying and dominated the first period with several good scoring opportunities but couldn't put anything past the Raiders goalie. It was the same for the second period until Jacob Gilbert finally banged home a goal for the Devils with assists from Langdon and Stevenson. Although they generated most of the scoring chances , the Devils couldn't find the mesh again but the single tally was enough to put the Raiders away. Matt Tovell picked up the shutout in a very solid performance.
