Pee Wees: On Saturday, January 7, the Gateway Gladiators Pee Wees faced Duxbury.

In the second period, Joe Urnek found the back of the net assisted by Rebeiro. Thomas Leger also scored with an assist from Nathan Ribeiro. In the third period, Rebeiro scored unassisted as did Ribeiro, and Urnek added his second goal of the night assisted by Rebeiro, securing the 5-0 Gateway win.
