After a slow start that saw the Guelph Hurricanes staring at an 0-3-0 record, the junior hockey team has won 4 of their last 5 games.
Guelph beat the Kitchener Dutchmen, LaSalle Vipers, Weatfield Blades and the Lambton Shores Preditors and how have they been doing it.
1. Hard Work: This team just doesn’t quit!!! Even in the games they have lost, they usually outplay thier opponants in the 3rd period. This characteristic will help them win more games as the season progresses.
2. Smothering Penalty Kill: Guelph is ranked in the top 3 of the 25 team league and recently allowed the #2 Powerplay unit from LaSalle to only one powerplay goal.
3. Improved offence: Led by speedy forward Dan Mohle who is 7th in the league scoring, Guelph’s offence has scored 15 goals in their first 2 games as opposed to 3 in their first 2 games of the season.
Overall this team is enjoyable to watch and in my opinion, the best kept secret in Guelph.
The Hurricanes play 2 home games this weekend:
Thursday night at 7:45pm they take on the Brantford Golden Eagles
and Saturday night they host the Listowel Cyclones. That game is at 7:30 pm. Both games are at the Sleeman Centre.
