After a long break the Hurricane returned to game action and found themselves taking on the Bedford Barons in game one of the Legion Tournament from Cape Breton. Some good practice with some strong work ethic would hopefully strip off at least a layer of any layoff rust build up. 

While the first period provided chances for the Hurricane a little better result on the score sheet was expected but so be it the pace was good, board play was evident and it would be just a matter of time. Sure enough early in the second the Hurricanes struck as Josh Shatford (unassisted) tickled the twine off a scramble down low to open the scoring. The Hurricane would add their second on the power play and it only took a few seconds as Morgan Messenger (Shatford, Benight) received a nice pass for a one timer from Shatford and placed the puck over high over the blocker. Jake Wile made a great pad save on a cross ice pass from the corner to the left hand slot by attacking the shooter and firing out his right leg to shut down Bedford’s best scoring chance.

In the third the Hurricane scored again when the Bedford defense got caught a little flat footed as Bronsen one touched the puck to a streaking Morgan Messenger who saw the defense part like the Red Sea to send him in all alone. A quick shot low beat the Baron netminder to put the Hurricanes up three.

The Hurricane team outshot the Barons 17-7 according to the official scorer and a good effort was seen from all three lines that admittedly all had chances.

The road will get a little rougher on Friday as the Hurricane will need to solid efforts against the Fredericton Canadians and the Halifax Hawks if a bid to get to the finals is in the cards. Make the final Hurricane 3- Barons 0 live from the County Arena in Sydney.
