The Breakaway Fuels U11 Red Devils started their playoffs with a home and home against the York Simcoe Express
Saturday had the young devils at home on the Mackay Pad for a 3:45 start. The Devils jumped on the Express early scoring three in the first. Greyson Rennie and Charlie Dwyer would score unassisted goals before Ethan Dowling would score with an assist going to Jared Russell. The Express would get one back in the second but Jayden Stehlik would add another unassisted marker in the third to give the boys a 4-1 win. Deacon Vos was dialed in from start to finish in net and along with the entire defence group took home player of the game honours.
Sunday the Breakaway boys were in their cars heading to St Andrews College for a rematch. This one was a fast tight checking affair scoreless through the first frame. Dowling would put the Devils up finishing a great pass from Kai Mackie. Kolton Solmes from Tripp Plumley and Rennie would increase the lead just 18 seconds later. The 2-0 lead held up until early in the third when York Simcoe cut the lead in half. The Devils would then explode for four straight to close with a 6-1 win. Scoring in the third was Ryder Bradford, Dwyer, Wade Robinson and Mackie. Assists went to Plumley, VanEgmond, Avery Thickson, Stehlik, Mackie, Jackson Simpson, and Bradford. Jordan Andrews was stellar in the pipes and Tripp Plumley took home player of the game.
