The Foley Bus Lines Minor
Midgets extended their lead atop the standings in the ETA heading into the
holiday season with another four point weekend. Thursday, the Devils hosted
Peterborough to the Mackay and it was not the Petes night as the home town team
put fourteen up on the board to take the one sided contest with a 14-0 shutout
win.
The 04’s saw themselves at home again Saturday to welcome in the Markham Waxers for an afternoon contest. Unfortunately for the home town team, they ran into some very hot goaltending as the video had the shots at 67-19 in favour of the Devils but the scoreboard at the buzzer had it at 3-2 in favour of the Waxers. Fortuitously, the Devils were right back at it Sunday looking to bounce back from Saturday’s setback in Oshawa versus the always tough Generals. The hard hitting affair stayed tied through the first period before the Devils took over in the second by scoring four and then adding two more in the third to get back in the win column with the 6-0 shutout. Next action……The Foley Bus Line Minor Midgets look to have a good showing at the annual Toronto Marlboros AAA Holiday Classic Hockey Tournament Dec 27-30th. In round robin play the 04’s face the Rochester Selects, Halton Hurricanes, Don Mills Flyers and the Markham Majors.
