Friday was a tough day as the team took on the NJ Titans premiere team, ranked 31st in the country. Louis DeManche found the back of the net in the last minute of the game, to get the Av’s on the board, and was he lone scorer for the team. The boys lost 7-1. On Saturday the team came back wanting to prove themselves against the 67th ranked Pittsburgh Predators. We had 4 different players scoring:, Fontaine, Bouchard, DesRuisseaux and Brenner; with 5 different players helping with assists, DesRuisseaux, Calandra, Hale, McCuaig, and Plaza.  Brenner had the GWG for the team in the morning.
