Warriors go 1-1 in first two December matchups.
The
Hamilton Huskies pulled into the Allman on December 5 and the Warriors were
ready for a battle.
Grady Murphy opened the scoring off a rocket from the slot in the first period. A costly penalty found the Huskies in the doghouse and the Warriors capitalized with a goal from McGee (Murphy, Hodgson). Ryan Gansevles (Ben Medhurst, Griffin McGregor) made it 3-0 on a late goal in the period. The second and third periods found the Warriors pushing the Huskies back to their own end time and time again. Murphy put the game away with a shorthanded goal off a breakout pass from Hodgson, Stratford 4, Hamilton 0.
Saturday December 11 the Warriors travelled to the Gretzky Center in Brantford to take on the 99ers. An early goal off a shot from the point fooled Kara and put the home team up 1-0. Stratford put together a few solid chances on the PP but couldn’t get the equalizer. Brantford led 1-0 after 1. A frenzy in front of the Stratford net early in the period resulted in a questionable second goal for the 99ers, putting them up 2-0. Brantford found themselves shorthanded for most of the second and third periods, but the Warriors just couldn’t find the stroke and fell to Brantford 2-0.
