Down to the regular season wire for Hornets, playoffs next FridayPosted January 27 - Anything less than a win tonight by Alliston will hand the Stayner Siskins the regular season title and home ice advantage throughout the league playoffs that begin next week. Stayner, which won last night has 64 points, with one game remaining tomorrow night in Erin. A win or tie, and they clinch. Should they lose, and Alliston can win its final two games at home - Caledon tonight, Midland Sunday - the Hornets would make it five in a row by virtue of the tie breaker. Regardless of the finish, quarter-final playoff action would begin next Friday for the Hornets at home, against Caledon, if Stayner holds on, or Fergus, should they finish first.Plowing match leaving Innisfil for EssaPosted January 26 - The organizers of the 2014 International Plowing Match (IPM) scheduled to be held in Innisfil are intending to move to Essa Township with details expected to be revealed as early as next week.Lottery win in AllistonPosted January 26 - A local woman has reportedly scratched her way to a $500,000 prize from a ticket purchased late last week at Mac's on Young Street in Alliston.
