Western Hurricanes

Hurricanes Calm the Storm

   
It was a physical home and home series against the Harbour Storm this weekend and your Hurricanes came out with two big victories to take a commanding lead of first place in the NSMBHL.

Facing adversity with Captain Morgan Lunn out long term and Assistant Captain Mitch Baker out of the line up all weekend, all Hurricane defensemen took over their minutes and played extremely solid.  Both our goaltenders made timley saves, looked confident and our forwards contributed both defensively and offensively. 

On Saturday evening at home in Liverpool, Hurricane shooters fired 43 shots on the opponents goaltender while only allowing 13 against.  Solid efforts by all players in all zones created a 5 - 1 victory for your Hurricanes.

On Sunday, the physical contact was escalated by both squads but it was your Hurricanes who won the battle on route to a  4 - 2 win on the road.

Next weekend brings a road trip to Truro to face the Bearcats in the lone game of the weekend for your Hurricanes.
