Milton's under-16 AA Winterhawks beat the Glancaster Bombers 4-1 at Milton Memorial Arena on Saturday, Nov. 14, their sixth straight win in the results Lokul has collected.
The team is one of the Milton Winterhawks' rep squads, the competitive travel teams that play other towns, as opposed to house league. AA is one of minor hockey's competitive tiers, and U16 means players under 16. The streak started on Saturday, Oct. 31, with a 7-1 rout of Hamilton Steel.
Defence has carried the run. Milton hasn't given up more than one goal in any of the six games, and four of them were on the road. The closest call was a 2-1 win over the Niagara Falls Canucks on Monday, Nov. 9; two days later the team blanked the West Niagara Flying Aces 4-0. Saturday's win was only the second at home during the streak, after a 3-1 win over their Halton neighbours, the Halton Hills Thunder, on Nov. 7.
