DEVILS NORTH SCORE ANOTHER LATE WIN IN BODEAN'S CUP

Bodean's Cup Match 23-01-2012 Lee Valley: Devils North 3 - Devils South 2

The Devils North came back from a 2-0 Devils South lead to win their third straight game in the Bodean's Cup.

The South came out strong, lead by their top guns of Richard Veinot and Paul House. An early goal from House gave them the boost they needed and in goal, their rookie keeper Piotr Satola was keeping the North at bay. The first period would finish 1-0 to the South.

In the second period the North threw everything but the kitchen sink at the South but could not break through. The defensive core of Bowman / Ochiai / Blais / Maloney were blocking everything they could, and Satola was there for the save when anything got through. A long knuckle-ball of a shot from Veinot increased their lead to 2-0 at the end of two periods.

In the third it was more of the same. The North kept pressing and, when Bowman was called for tripping, they went on the power-play. Some deft passing, coupled with a fortunate bounce, lead to the first North goal. With 15 minutes left to play, the North had a life-line. On the next shift, Carlos Sutter drove to the net to convert a Phil Holbrook pass to equal the score, and it was clear that the momentum had shifted. The North kept pressing, and with about ten minutes left to play, Scott McDermid shovelled home a goal-mouth scramble to give North the lead. The South pulled their keeper and mounted a valiant late effort, but it was not to be. The game would finish North 3 - South 2.

DEVILS BACK ON TRACK IN LONDON CUP

London Cup Match 16-01-2012 Lee Valley: London Devils 9 - Streatham Nightwolves 0

The Devils scored a convincing victory over London Cup newcomers the Streatham Nightwolves at Lee Valley to move into sole possession of second place in the London Cup table.

Both teams started well, with the Nightwolves proving hard to break down. When called upon, their keeper was also up to the task and the score remained 0-0 for much of the first period. Devils newcomer Marty Dams finally broke the deadlock finishing nicely off a short-handed rush up the right-hand side. From then, the pressure was on and the Devils steamed forward. The Nightwolves' keeper kept up his heroics, but the shot tally mounted and eventually the Devils pulled away. The Devils' next match in the London Cup is February 13th vs London Legion.
