Christmas Break Outing to Milton
 Wednesday night and the Grey Bruce Highlander Major Atom team is on their way to play against the mighty Halton Hill Hurricanes.  Game time :

  Halton took their first penalty right off the start with only 50 seconds into the first period. the Highlander didn’t come through on this advantage. We held Halton off  with nice shorts shifts & with very few whistles, until there was only 2:27 left in the first and Halton finally got one past Matt-Man Donnelly (Walkerton). We took our first penalty with 5 seconds left in the first.

 Going into the 2nd a man short, we manage to kill off the penalty. It seems that the Halton boys were frustrated that they were not able to cash in on their advantage & took their second & final penalty for cross checking one of our defensemen. With a 5 on 4 advantage we came up short & Halton scored. The Highlanders pulled it together for a few minutes until the 3rd goal went in, they seemed to lose faith and coverage and Halton popped a few more in, ended the 2nd period with the score  4-0.

 We started out in the 3rd strong, until Halton scored. We couldn’t seem to recover as Halton came back stronger to score a few more. Then the boys came back with the Never say Never attitude for the last 7 minutes of the period as neither team could muster up any offence. The game ended 8-0 for Halton.
