The Ice Devils would score once in the third period. The midgets won their earlier game, beating Haliburton 7-4.
Midgets: The midgets have been struggling to catch up with other centres that have already played several league and tournament games and have a month’s jump on our season.

Unable to compete at that level of hockey, and so far behind the pack, the Devils could muster only two goals in game one against Port Carling as Greg Arnold put one away unassisted and Zach Attwell netted a goal with help from Eric Langford.

Game two vs. Huntsville ended in a 7-0 loss.

Friday night’s game vs. Port proved a challenge, with three players absent and a couple more players ejected from the game. The team scrambled and tried to get the puck moving, but spent most of their time in the opposition zone.
