Sunday, November 5th, vs. Oshawa Generals
Sunday afternoon, once again in Madoc, the Madison Excavating U12 Quinte Red Devils came to play, this time in a tilt against the Oshawa Generals. QRD dominated much of the game, and found the back of the net for the first time, while on a powerplay in the second period. Heading into the third period with a 1-0 lead, QRD continued to pressure their opponents. With just two minutes and six seconds remaining on the clock, the Red Devils added an insurance marker, putting themselves in a prime position to take the victory. The Generals pulled their goalie in a last-ditch effort to mount a comeback, and QRD secured the 3-0 win by scoring on the empty cage.
