The Bonn Law QRD U12 Team Had a Strong Showing In Boston
The Bonn Law QRD U12 Team travelled to Boston this past weekend, to play in The Exposure Cup Tournament. The team had a strong showing at the tournament, competing against some of the top talent in The United States.

After going 2-1 in the RR, the Devils finished first in their pool and would face The Islanders Hockey Club in the ¼ final game. The Islanders got on the score sheet first in the game, but Quinte would come right back with a goal from Brody Grant (assisted by Shea Teather). The Islanders would take the lead again and eventually we found ourselves down 4-2, before storming back to tie the game When Mason Whalen scored with 30 seconds left in regulation, after pulling our goalie. The Devils were set for 3on3 OT and were flying on the first couple of shifts, before being handed a tripping penalty. Unfortunately, The Islanders would capitalize on their PP, sending the Devils to The Consolation Final. Shea Teather had a pair of goals in the game. Additional assists; Teather, Hughes, Goulah, Grant. Dax Sage Was sharp in net for the Devils.
