The North Dundas Atom B Rep Demons travelled to Montreal for the Can/Am Challenge Cup over the weekend of Jan. 11-13. The Demons’ first game was Friday morning against the Adirondack Thunder and won easily by a score of 7-1. In their second game later in the day, they took to the ice against the St. Albans Skating Association (SASA) green team from Vermont and shut them out 8-0. In their third game, the Demons took on the Toronto Shamrocks and put it to them as well winning 7-1, thus winning their division. In the final game, the Demons had a rematch with the Shamrocks.
