Hurricanes Wrap Up Regular Season in Style

   
With two home games to wrap up the Nova Scotia Major Bantam Hockey League regular season, a solid effort leading into the annual Pictou County Memorial Tournament next weekend and playoffs later in the month was on the agenda.

On Saturday evening, a defensive game and solid goaltending was on full display as both teams worked to the final buzzer without a single goal being scored.  Parker Rowter earned the shutout in a rare 0 - 0 tie against the Halifax Hawks.

On Sunday morning, Hurricane shooters decided that the hunger around the net was not adequate and they showed some fire as they potted 8 goals on route to an 8 - 3 victory over the visiting Nova Jr. Xmen squad.

With the regular season now in the record books, the attention turns to the playoffs and earning a berth into the NSMBHL Provincial Championships.  The intensity and detail is sure to rise in all activities as the playoffs approach.

The hockey operations management and executive of the Hurricanes would like to congratulate the players and coaching staff on a great regular season highlighted by 21 wins, 5 loses and 7 ties in the 33 game NSMBHL schedule and a silver medal in the Esso Atlantic Challenge Cup.  One fantastic stat to note is that your Hurricanes great defensive efforts by the entire line up and excellent goaltending resulted in the lowest goals allowed in the NSMBHL.  Only 57 goals allowed in 33 games.  Great job guys !
