Free Flow Petroleum – Minor Bantam
The Free Flow Petroleum Minor Bantams stepped into sole possession of second place in the ETA Eastern Division this week – taking 2 out of 3 games.

On Friday, Jan. 22, the team travelled to Bowmanville to take on the division-leading Clarington Toros, but came out on the losing end of a hard-fought 2-1 match. Isaac Langdon had Quinte’s only marker, unassisted.
On Saturday, Jan. 23, Quinte turned things around with a 4-1 win over the Oshawa Generals. Langdon (2), Adam Thistlethwaite and Vreugdenhil contributed to the goal tally, while McFarland, Langdon, Stevenson, Curtis Dicks, Karsten Leonard, Jacob Gilbert and Cole McGuire all helped out with assists.
With that, the team remains the stingiest in the entire ETA…with the least goals against (only 48, after 29 games played). Great patience and guidance from coaches Brent Heusinkveld and Terry Gaebel is paying off.
Bonn Law – Atom
The Bonn Law Quinte Red Devils Major Atom team collected 3 out of 4 points this weekend. On Friday night the Devils were in Kingston to take on the Frontenacs. The Devils were looking to even the score with the Fronts, after losing to them at home the last time the two teams met. The Devils came out flying and controlled the play for most of the game. Tucker Mckichan made a huge save on a penalty shot near the end of the first period when the game was still scoreless, to give his team all the momentum. The Devils scored two goals in the second period and two more in the third to win the game 4-0. Cal Uens had a four point night, including a goal and three assists. Also scoring for the Devils was Spencer Cranley and Ethan Quick. Collecting the other assists on the goals was Vince Bellavance (2), Christopher Brydges, Tyson Carr and Duncan Schneider. Tucker Mckichan was outstanding in net to earn the shutout.
On Sunday, the Devils travelled to Oshawa and looked like a completely different team in the 3-3 tie. Ethan Quick, Jack Dever and Ben Lynch did the scoring for the Devils. Assisting on the goals were Ethan Osborne, Carr, Quick and Cranley. Jacob Brown handled the goal tending duties for the team.
Madison Excavating – Minor Atom
The Madison Excavating Minor Atom Quinte Red Devils had a busy week in league play – winning all 3 games, taking 6 points and securing the number one spot in the East.
A mid-week match up against Peterbourgh in Marmora on Wednesday saw the Devils still flying high on their recent successes and quick on the puck against the Petes.
Ben Vreugdenhil opened up the scoring on a pass from Landon Wright and Ty McCambridge. Nolan Donnelly added another before the end of the first, assisted by Brody
Partridge to make it 2-0 Devils. The second period saw a lot of scoring opportunities for the Red Devils and it was Thomas Kuipers who capitalized on the set up from McCambridge to make it
3-0. Another goal from Kuipers, assisted by Partridge and McCambridge secured the 4-0 win for the Devils and the shut out for goaltender Dean Spry.
On Saturday, the Devils hosted the number one Oshawa Generals. The Generals came out strong and had the Devils on the defense. A late goal in the first gave the Generals the first goal of the game. The Devils regrouped and poured on the offense in the second with a tying goal from Partridge, assisted by Kuipers. Donnelly added the go ahead goal before the end of the second on the set up from Partridge and Kuipers. The Generals battled hard trying to recapture the lead but Dean Spry stood on his head in the net to keep them from gaining another goal. An empty netter scored by Jared Langdon, assisted by Gage Butcher secured the 3-1 win over Oshawa.
The Minor Atoms were back in action Sunday at RCAF to host the York-Simcoe Express. The Express wasted no time and scored 15 seconds into the game but the Devils were a determined group and went to work to turn on the offense. An unassisted goal by Langdon late in the first evened the score 1-1. The second period saw the two teams exchanging scoring opportunities but it was Liam Philip on a pass from Carson Campbell that gave the Devils the lead for the first time in the game. Less than 2 minutes later the Devils added some security with a third goal making it 3-1 with a second goal from Langdon assisted by Kuipers and Braedyn Rogers. Glen McInnes helped the Devils to hold on to the lead with some big saves in net in the third. This win secured the first place spot for the Devils.
The Madison Excavating Minor Atoms are back in action on Saturday as they head to Peterborough to face the Petes. Sunday the Devils will be back home at RCAF at 3pm to host the Clarington Toros.
