U12 – Red Devils Fall Short in Late-Game Thriller Against Whitby
The Rob Jones CIBC Wood Gundy U12 Quinte Red Devils put on a fierce display Saturday afternoon at IPSC, battling through a relentless, back-and-forth contest against a tough Whitby Wildcats squad.
From the opening puck drop, both teams traded high-intensity chances in a matchup that remained a 3-3 deadlock deep into the final period. Emerson Courtney stood tall between the pipes for Quinte, making several key saves to keep the Red Devils within striking distance. Quinte’s offence found the back of the net with goals from McCormick, White and Dawson, while Withers and Baily chipped in with assists. Despite Quinte’s resilient effort, Whitby broke the tie with just three and a half minutes remaining, and the score was 5-3 at the final buzzer.

U15 – Cozy Home Heating U15s Open Season Against Markham
The Cozy Home Heating & Air Conditioning U15 Quinte Red Devils kicked off their season on home ice against the Markham Waxers this past Saturday. Markham struck twice in the latter half of the opening frame, including a power-play marker, to take a 2-0 lead into the second period. Both teams tightened up defensively in the middle frame, with neither side able to find the back of the net.
Quinte came out looking to respond in the third, capitalizing on the power play to get on the board. However, the Waxers answered with a power-play goal of their own to restore their two-goal cushion before adding an empty-netter late in the frame to seal the 4-1 result. Between the pipes, Ben Larmer battled hard throughout the contest, facing consistent pressure from the Waxers. Griffin Van Gemeren scored Quinte’s lone goal, with Keaton Clute and Everett Brown picking up the assists.
