The Milton Winterhawks' U16 AA team stretched its winning streak to five games on Wednesday, Nov. 11, blanking the West Niagara Flying Aces 4-0 on the road at the Peach King rink, according to results posted by the club.
The Winterhawks are Milton's minor hockey club. U16 is the under-16 age group, and AA is one of the competitive rep tiers, where players try out to make the team and travel to face other towns.
The run started with a 7-1 rout of Hamilton Steel on Oct. 31. Since then, Milton has packed four games into less than a week, three of them away from home, and has not given up more than a single goal in any of them.
| Date | Opponent | Score | Where |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oct. 31 | Hamilton Steel | 7-1 | — |
| Nov. 6 | Burlington Eagles | 4-1 | Away, Appleby |
| Nov. 7 | Halton Hills Thunder | 3-1 | Home, Milton Memorial Arena |
| Nov. 9 | Niagara Falls Canucks | 2-1 | Away, Gale |
| Nov. 11 | West Niagara Flying Aces | 4-0 | Away, Peach King |
The closest call was Monday, Nov. 9, a one-goal win over the Niagara Falls Canucks. The only home game of the last four, a 3-1 win over neighbouring Halton Hills at Milton Memorial Arena on Nov. 7, came the day after a 4-1 road win over the Burlington Eagles.
West Niagara gave the club's older players more trouble. The Winterhawks' U18 AA team played to a 3-3 tie against the same organization in an away game on Nov. 8.
A day before the AA win, the club's U16 A team, which plays a tier below, beat the Hespeler Shamrocks by the same 4-0 score at Milton Memorial Arena.
