Stan Darling Bantam AE Bears hosted Almaguin Ice Devils at home on Saturday Nov 5th. The Ice Devils were looking for a win after losing to the Bears 10-2 at home to no avail...

The 1st period found the Bears on their heels as the Ice Devils pulled ahead with 2 goals shutting out the Bears to end the period with the Bears down 2-0. The Bears turned things around early in the 2nd with 2 quick goals to tie up the game. Goals scored by C. Woolhouse, unassisted, and E. Goodfellow, assisted by C. Thomas & C. Woolhouse. The Ice Devils pulled ahead with 6 minutes left in the 2nd period but the Bears answered with 3 minutes to go to tie it up, 3-3 at the end of the 2nd. Goal scored by a rush from defensemen Q. Greenfield, assisted by T. Danko.
Once again, the 3rd period was all Bears. With a flurry of offensive pressure and some top shelf bullet shots by C. Woolhouse, the Bears scored 3 goals in 1 shift, a hat trick in a shift for C. Woolhouse, with assists to K. Johnson, Z. Stephen, J. Cousineau, and Q. Greenfield. The Ice Devils scrambled to come back, but the Bears monopolized the puck with solid passes and heads up play. Bears net minder I. Fantuz made some sprawling saves and held the puck well to minimize the rebound chances. The Bears found the net one more time to make it a 7-3 lead, goal scored by C. Woolhouse, assisted by J. Cousineau and B. Gardiner. With 30 sec left the Ice Devils made one last effort and put one in, final score 7-4 for the Bears.
