The Breakaway Fuels boys faced a busy week before their
Christmas Break having 4 games in 5 days.
The week started with a Wednesday night tilt against the
Kingston Junior Gaels. The first period
was a tight checking 10 minutes and the Gaels had the edge 1-0 heading to the
second. The next 15mins was all Quinte
with the kids putting up 3 goals by Greyson Rennie, Ethan Dowling and Tripp
Plumley. Assists went to Kai Mackie and
Reid Haley. The Gaels wouldn’t go away
and scored early in the third to make it 3-2.
Dowling put the Devils back up by 2 at the half way mark of the third
with assist to McKinley Gunning. Avery
Thickson would stretch the lead to three before the Gaels scored a late
one. Final score was 5-3. Deacon Vos picked up the win in net.
Saturday saw the young Devils face the Whitby Wildcats in
Coleborne. This one turned out to be a
goaltending battle with both goalies making some highlight reel saves and the
teams battled hard for 40mins and ended with a 1-1 tie. Scoring for the Devils was Reid Haley from
Tripp Plumley. Jordan Andrews was solid
throughout between the pipes.
Sunday saw the Breakaway Fuels kids hit the road for two
games. First up was a stop in Ajax to
face the Raiders. This one was dominated
by Quinte and ended in a 6-1 final score.
Kai Mackie led the way with a hat trick.
Other goal scorers were Thickson, Rennie and Dowling. Assists went to Gunning and Haley. Vos grabbed his second win of the week in
net.
The second game of the day was an evening game in Lindsay
against the Central Ontario Wolves. This
was a fast, well played game by both teams.
After the first two periods the score was deadlocked at 2. Scoring for
the Devils was Dowling from Renning and Jackson Simpson from Evan VanEgmond and
Ryder Bradford. The third period saw the
Devils take control and put two more on the board by Kolton Solmes and Mackie
to take the game 4-2. Andrews picked up
the win to finish a busy but successful week.
The boys get a much deserved Christmas break and do not see
game action again until January 2nd in Peterborough.
