Milton's Winterhawks U16 AA hockey team won its fourth straight game Monday, Nov. 9, beating the Niagara Falls Canucks 2-1 on the road.
The Winterhawks are Milton's minor hockey club. U16 is the under-16 age group, and AA is one of the competitive levels in Ontario minor hockey, above BB and below AAA. Through the streak, the team has allowed just one goal a game, outscoring its opponents 16-4.
The run began with a 7-1 rout of the Hamilton Steel on Saturday, Oct. 31, followed by three wins in four days, the only home game among them at Milton Memorial Arena.
| Date | Opponent | Score | Where |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oct. 31 | Hamilton Steel | 7-1 | — |
| Nov. 6 | Burlington Eagles | 4-1 | Away, Appleby arena |
| Nov. 7 | Halton Hills Thunder | 3-1 | Home, Milton Memorial Arena |
| Nov. 9 | Niagara Falls Canucks | 2-1 | Away, Gale arena |
The club's U16 A team, one level down, is rolling too. It shut out the Oakville Rangers 5-0 at Trafalgar Park on Thursday, Nov. 5, then won 3-1 on the road against the Woolwich Wildcats the next day.
Monday was tougher for other Winterhawks teams. The U13 AA side lost 2-1 at home to the same Niagara Falls Canucks club at Milton Sports Centre's Rink D, the mirror image of the U16 AA score, and the U16 BB Blue team fell 9-2 to the Oakville Rangers at Trafalgar Park.
The U15 BB Blue team is going the other way from the U16 AA squad: it has lost its last four games.
