The Quinte U11 Red Devils wrapped up their regular season with three wins in four days.
On Thursday the York Simcoe Express travelled to Trenton to play a make-up game for a cancellation last Sunday due to the snowstorm. The home team would jump on them early when Ethan Dowling found the back of the net less than two minutes in. Assists went to Jackson Simpson and Jared Russell. Despite relentless pressure the first period would end 1-0. The second again was all Quinte but this time they would bulge the twine four times. Scorers were Tripp Plumley, Dowling, Simpson and Reid Haley. Assists went to Kolton Solmes, Evan VanEgmond, Russell, Kai Mackie x 2, Dowling and Jayden Stehlik. Jordan Andrews stood tall in the third to preserve the shutout and give the boys a 5-0 win. Jared Russell took home player of the game honours.
Saturday was fan and sponsor appreciation day at the MacKay for the U11 crew and they would not disappoint the large crowd in their contest versus the North Shore Whitecaps. This time they would score two in the first and two in the second on their way to a 4-1 win. Scoring for the Devils was Ryder Bradford, Greyson Rennie and Simpson (2). Assists went to Simpson (2), Dowling (2), Mackie, Silas Templar, Avery Thickson. Deacon Vos not only picked up the win but chipped in with an assist as well. Tripp Plumley would take home the player of the game fork.
Sunday the young devils headed to Peterborough to wrap up their regular season. As always the Pete's came to play and gave the Devils all they could handle. Mackie would score in the first from Simpson and Dowling. Dowling would finish off a beautiful pass from Greyson Rennie in the second before Reid Haley would score two goals in twenty seconds in the third. Assists on Haley's goals went to Thickson (2) and Stehlik. A late powerplay goal by the Pete's would break the shutout bid by Jordan Andrews but the kids walked away with a solid 4-1 win and a regular season record of 27-1-2.
