Records and goals after the opening weekend, from the two results above.
The U 13 AA season opened with a short weekend: two games, three teams, 19 goals. When it was over, one team had a perfect record. Shediac / Cap-Pelé played on both days and won both times, beating Kent Sud 3–2 on the road Saturday and Kent Centre 9–5 at home Sunday. It heads into Week 2 as the only team in the division with a win.
Riverview, Moncton, Dieppe / Memramcook and Lewisville have not played a league game yet, so the table is still mostly empty.
Saturday: Shediac / Cap-Pelé 3, Kent Sud 2
Shediac / Cap-Pelé opened the league season at the J.K. Irving Centre on Saturday afternoon and beat Kent Sud 3–2, the weekend's only one-goal game.
Sunday: Shediac / Cap-Pelé 9, Kent Centre 5
The next morning in Shediac was the opposite: 14 goals, the most of the weekend. Shediac / Cap-Pelé scored nine at home to beat Kent Centre 9–5 and finish the weekend 2–0.
Kent Centre, the division's newest team, lost its league debut, but it found the net five times against the only team to win twice. Those five goals were the most Shediac / Cap-Pelé gave up all weekend.

Where things stand
After one weekend the table tells you more about the schedule than about the teams. Shediac / Cap-Pelé is on top after playing the most games and winning them all. Kent Sud (0–1, −1) and Kent Centre (0–1, −4) both lost to it. Every other team is 0–0. The full standings after Week 1 are above.
The Blues
Riverview is still waiting for its first league game. The Blues come into the regular season on a two-game winning streak from the pre-season: a 3–2 win over Shediac / Cap-Pelé in Cap-Pelé on October 10, and a 5–2 win over the Moncton Hawks on October 15. Those were exhibitions and do not count in the standings, but the Blues have already seen the team that leads the division, and they beat it.
