The Burlington Eagles Under 16 AAA team beat the Grey-Bruce Highlanders 9-1 on Saturday, Nov. 14, ending a six-game losing streak.
AAA is the top level of minor hockey, and the win came on the road, at Durham CC.
Two days earlier, on Thursday, Nov. 12, the Eagles were shut out 8-0 by the Halton Hurricanes at home at Appleby (1), the worst result of the streak.
The slide began with a 4-0 loss to the same Halton team on Oct. 26. Over the six losses, Burlington was held to two goals or fewer in all but one game and was shut out twice. Its best offensive night was a 6-4 loss to Hamilton Steel on Nov. 3, a team that also beat the Eagles 6-2 the week before.
