The Alliston Hornets fell victim to looking ahead last night, losing
5-4 to Stayner to end the travel portion of their regular season.
Alliston took a 3-2 lead into the third period on a pair of goals by
Mike Campeau, and single marker to David Leblanc whose powerplay
opened the game's scoring at 4:11 of the first. Stayner scored three
unaswered goals in the third, for a 5-3 lead before Dakota Brooks
closed the gap, unassisted with 20 seconds to play in a game that saw
the Hornets Cole Parker, and Stayner's Jason Seeley ejected for
fighting majors at 10:39 of the second.
Tyler Brindle took the loss in goal, his second in regulation time.
Last night's game also featured a familiar piece of the past, with
former head coach Darrin Shannon stepping into help as an assistant
coach behind the bench with the absence of Kyle McDowell and Rich
Gobatto.
The Hornets close out their regular season tonight against Schomberg
for a 7:30 puck drop at the NTRC in Alliston.
