Your Hurricanes battled all weekend to capture three out of four points against a very solid Bay Gulls team, but more importantly, our fans showed extreme support for the local food bank.  A large crowd on Saturday night collectively brought over 100 bags of non pershibale groceries, gave money donations and along with corporate donations from Sobeys and Superstore, it made for a very good night at Queens Place Emera Centre. On behalf of Hurricanes Hockey and the local food bank, we sincerely thank you for all your help.  Thanks hockey fans !

At puck drop on Saturday night, Hurricanes and Bay Gulls were tied for first place in the NSMBHL standings.  When the buzzer ended the game, the story was the same as they battled to a 3 - 3 tie.  Exciting back and forth action gave the large crowd a good game to enjoy.

Sunday morning, another good crowd watched both teams go back to battle with each other.  Again both teams exchanged a few goals early with the Hurricanes holding a 4 - 3 lead after two periods.  In the third period, Hurricanes came out swirling and produced two quick goals to go up 6 - 3.  With time still left,  as expected the tenacious Bay Gulls team made it close with two goals of their own to narrow the gap.  A timeout and a committment to systems by your Hurricanes did the trick in earning a 6 - 5 victory.

With the win and tie this weekend, Hurricanes stand alone in first place in the Nova Scotia Major Bantam Hockey League with a regular season record of 18 wins, 3 loses and 6 ties.

GO HURRICANES !!!!!!
