Hurricanes Prepare to Defend Esso Atlantic Cup Championship

   
Your Hurricanes hit the road Saturday for a tilt with the Pictou County Crushers looking to increase their first place lead in the NSMBHL standings.  A strong effort from start to finish and contributions from every Hurricane resulted in a decisive 6 - 0 victory for your Hurricanes. 

With a quick turnaround of only 14 hours before their next game, your Hurricanes began their trek up the highway for a Sunday morning contest against the Harbour Storm at Cole Harbour Place.  With as good a preperation as you can with such a quick turnaround, Hurricanes players were obviously committed to each other as they battled their way to a 10 - 1 win.  An incredible effort by each member of the squad showcased the teams depth all weekend.

Statistical details of the weekend games are available under the game results tab of the team and league websites.

The team now turns their attention to defending their 2010 Esso Atlantic Challenge Cup Major Bantam Championship title this week.  The Esso Atlantic Cup is a 24 team tournament hosted in Halifax with teams from NS, NB and PEI.  The tournament begins Wednesday evening with a game vs. Truro Bearcats, Thursday vs. Saint John Seadogs, Friday vs. Bay Gulls and Saturday vs. Miramichi.  Tournament playoff action is set for Saturday and Sunday.
