The Point Edward Jr. B Pacers were down 5 - 1 after the first period but fought back in the final two to come within one at games end against the London Blue Devils.

"We are a veteran team, let's hold it together."  Bell said to the team after the first period "We can dig ourselves out of this and they came out on fire in the second period."
