The Truro Major Bantam Bearcats lost 6-4 to the Halifax Hawks. The Hawks jumped out to a 5-0 lead just 20 minutes into the game, but the Bearcats didn't quit as they outscored Halifax in the final 30 mins 4-1.

The Bearcats led by Josh Pugsley's two goals, along with Richard MacNevin and Stephen Belyea with singles. Truro goalie Blake Otterson started the game, but was relieved by Luke Melanson after Halifax's 5th goal. They combined to stop 26 shots.

The coaching staff was pleased with the effort in the second half of the game and felt when the players didn't try to do too much -made the simple plays, they were successful-made things happen.

The Bearcats play their home opener on Sunday September 26th at 11am vs Cole Harbour/Eastern Shore Storm at the Colchester Legion Stadium.
