Following the holiday break, Hurricane players hit the ice for two NSMBHL home games.  On Jaunuary 4th, a great effort by the entire line up resulted in a 4 - 1 win over the Cole Harbour Eastern Shore Storm.  The following day, a real battle was on display as the always tough Dartmouth Major Bantam Whalers squad were in town.  When the dust settled, a hard fought 4 - 3 win was in the books for the Hurricanes.

Last weekend brought the first annual Major Bantam East Coast Ice Jam tournament in Halifax.  Twenty two teams began the quest for the title.  In the preliminary round, game #1 brought a 1 - 1 tie against the Bedford Barons.  In game #2 despite outshooting the speedy Moncton Hawks, the team fell 3 -1.  In game # 3, a highly skilled Riviere du Loup, Quebec team came at the Hurricanes, but the Hurricanes were not to be denied as they earned a 3 - 1 victory.  With the preliminary round success, the team was onto the round of 16.  In that round, a 6 - 2 win over the Truro Bearcats pushed the team to Saturday evenings quarterfinals.  Unfortunately that was the end of the road in this tournament as the Nova Jr. Xmen defeated the Hurricanes 4 - 0.  The guys battled hard in every game and outshot their opponents in all games and showed a lot of team unity.

This weekend, it's back on the road for some NSMBHL regular season action as they head to Berwick on Saturday to play the Valley Wildcats and then go to Bedford on Sunday to face the Bedford Barons.
