Huskies Earn Two In Last Minute Effort

The Huskies outworked their recent tournament nemesis tonight in Cambridge, as they lead the Hawks by two goals after the opening act.  Although a tied game after two penalty-ridden periods, Hamilton definitely set the tone of the game, battling in their corners and chasing the puck while providing support around their crease.  It was only in the last minute of play that the game winning goal came from a sharp angle to complete the Huskies’ mission of the evening by stealing the victory that leaves them still undefeated.

Huskies Leave Lambton Feeling the Sting

As the Huskies travelled in style by coach to Sarnia, they journeyed along a beautiful sun-kissed stretch of landscape, heading West to face Lambton for the first time this season. It took only seconds from puck drop for Hamilton to deliver in the OHL-sized RBC centre as they executed a flawless opening attack.  With puck possession in their favour for most of the game, a sometimes scattered Hamilton team nonetheless persevered today.  While falling victim to several penalties, the Huskies combined a strong power play performance with better utilization of their blue-liners, proving that a positive contrast in collaboration from the day prior would result in increased puck movement and capitalization of chances, as sharp-angle rebounds and a bulleting slap shot from the point were but a few of several highlights in the game. Even fighting off a two-man disadvantage, one by one Hamilton tallied their goals in their highest scoring game in league play yet, as they rode home with smiles on their faces not only from the victory but as equally from the experience that left them feeling like pros.

Huskies a Little Too Chivalrous Against Knights

During their usual Saturday afternoon contest on home turf, the Huskies hit the ice to the beat of their adopted mantra to face London for the first time this season. Scoreless throughout the opening period, a rush from the red line born from a defensive initiative gave the Huskies the opening goal as the opposition was skillfully deked. Although a tying dribbler later defeated the home team's net minder, Hamilton certainly had their chances to advance, leaving their faithful fans craving of perhaps more collaborative teamwork and more ownership of the puck.  Hamilton added only a single point to their total, but remain undefeated in regular league play.

Huskies Remain Undefeated

After conceding a two goal lead to Huron-Perth, a power play effort from the Huskies’ offense on a sharp angle that beat the Laker keeper’s blocker side gave Hamilton the ice-breaker they needed to stir up what otherwise felt like a quiet and slow-paced game at Allman Memorial Arena in Stratford.  The Huskies went on to pursue their well-known efforts, clinging on to their lossless streak as they added two more goals in the final period to remain undefeated so far this season.

Huskies' Late Effort Prevails

Hamilton played host to Windsor today on a cold October afternoon.  It was not until two scoreless periods and twenty-five minutes had elapsed that a Husky power play effort saw a lucky bounce that rewarded them with the first goal of the game.  With a solid performance between the pipes on both ends of the ice, the chances were there to be had but difficult to exploit.  Unfortunately taking advantage of a blue-liner’s unintended fumble, the Western Division Spitfires twice riposted to tie the game up in the third period.  Nevertheless, a tardy but opportune emergence of the offensive unit in the closing minutes of the game reclaimed the lead while sealing the deal on an empty-netter, maintaining the Huskies’ successful streak on home ice.

Huskies Thankfull for a Great Weekend

It was not for lack of effort today that the Huskies surrendered yet another game to their tournament nemesis from Cambridge, but the puck was simply not in their corner this long weekend as even a decent attempt this morning did not suffice to prolong their hopes to advance.  Nonetheless, being one of only two teams advancing to the semi-finals in this host tournament, the Huskies thrilled the home crowd with their efforts, while silent rumblings in the stands and public recognition by many in attendance indicate that Hamilton’s 9AAAs are a talented group full of promise as the season continues to unfold.

Huskies Prey for Hawks

On the heels of yesterday’s loss, Sunday’s matchup against Cambridge was expected to be a competitive one between Hamilton and one of it’s regular league opponents, but the Huskies were unable to regroup against the Hawks who capitalized on key opportunities that gave them the advantage during mostof the game.  Although a late goal boosted the team with a higher energy level, the effort came too late as the Huskies fell prey to their opposition in their final round robin game.

Huskies' Bark Bigger than Bulldogs' Bite

Opening night at the Tim Hortons AAA International Tournament, both long-time Hamilton hockey rivals went head to head at Chedoke Arena tonight to the beat of the hometown pulse as they met for the first of several  games with lineup that promises to be exciting.  With numerous fans and countless cheers as the Huskies hit the ice, the host team did not disappoint, delivering what most believed to be a valiant effort after a full day of school, earning themselves an A for effort while keeping the Bulldogs within armlength of any attack.  Although only a single goal made the difference as the final buzzer sounded, the victory was a well-earned one that is hoped to boost the team’s energy level heading into a busy Thanksgiving weekend.
