Power-play goal, decider in Peewee B Demon loss

 

The North Dundas Peewee B Demons split a pair of back-to-back games last week, kicking it off with a big 6-1 win over the Braves in Brockville, on Tuesday night, December 15, but then giving up a tough 6-5 loss to the visiting Kemptville Panthers in Winchester, on Wednesday night.

The results of the action leaves the Demons in first place in the UCMHL East division with 24 points on 12 wins and three losses.

Alexandria is in second place with 19 points, and NGS is third with 18.

The Demons next regular scheduled game is not until the new year.

Adam Barkley and Joshua Broad set the pace in Brockville, last Tuesday night, as the Demons blew past the Braves, 6-1. 

Barkley contributed four assists and was on the ice for all six of the Demons goals while Broad opened the scoring with a shot from an impossible angle off a Mason Carr pass. Broad also picked up two assists along the way.

Ben Lapier collected a short-handed goal when he out-skated the Braves to the puck to get a good shot away.

The Demons led 4-0 after the first period on the Broad (from Barkley), Mason Carr (from Broad), Lapier (from Barkley) and Maxime Paquette (from Barkley) goals.

It was in the second that Brockville’s Jones collected the lone Braves goal from Brendan Shaver, while Braves goaltender Belisle prevented the Demons from adding anything more to the count.

Then in period three, Lapier counted his second goal (assisted by Kieran McQueen-Ladoucer and Paquette), and Jaymen Heuff finished it off with help from Broad and Barkley.

On home ice Wednesday night, the Demons were slow out of the starting gate, and the Panthers took advantage to go up 3-0.

The Demons comeback got rolling in the second period with goals from Broad (Heuff, Carr), Heuff (Barkley), Carr (Lapier, Broad) and Emytt Fetterly (from Broad and Barr) who put the Demons up 4-3 heading into the third frame.

The Panthers came out strong in the third, with two goals to go up 5-4, but they couldn’t hold on.

Jaymen Heuff, with help from Carr and Paquette, counted for the Demons with 2:35 left in the game to tie it 5-5.

It was with just 17 seconds left and the Panthers on their power play, that the game decision was made with a Foley goal for the 6-5 Panthers win.
