On
Thursday March 24th the Stampkrete QRD U12’s hosted the Whitby
Wildcats at the Baltimore Recreation Centre.
It was a tightly fought affair, with both teams trading scoring
opportunities. Whitby took the lead in
the second period, before Lauchlan Whelan tied the game, taking a nice pass
from Brechyn Aird. Regulation solved
nothing, but Whitby would score the overtime winner taking the game 2-1. Ryerson Swan took the loss in net for QRD.
On Saturday March 26th the Stampkrete QRD U12’s travelled to Kingston to take on the Jr. Gaels. After somewhat of a sluggish start, QRD found their stride getting goals from 5 different skaters. Dawson Chalk, Joey Seguin, Ewan Dahle, Hudson Brown and Lauchlan Whelan would score for Quinte, with Drew Wright, Whelan, Brechyn Aird, Trent Clow, and Ryder Hooey drawing assists. Nathan Ferriss would make several key saves securing the 5-1 QRD victory!
The stage was set for an epic battle on Sunday vs. the Whitby Wildcats. Quinte needed a win to punch their ticket to the OMHA’s in Oakville. The Stampkrete QRD U12’s saved would could be argued as “their best team game of the year” as they totally controlled the game from the opening faceoff to the final buzzer. Joey Seguin would open the scoring for QRD, converting a nice pass off of a cycle down low from Ewan Dahle and Easton Thompson. Trent Clow would then add to the QRD lead with an unassisted marker to put Quinte ahead 2-0. Easton Thompson would further add to the lead with a nice pass from Seguin, before sealing the deal with his second of the game to give QRD the 4-0 win. Ryerson Swan got the win in net for QRD, stopping a penalty shot late in the 3rd to suffocate any chance of a Whitby comeback!
