Hurricanes warm-up goalie Drew Pegrum at Victorial Road Arena

GUELPH — The Guelph Hurricanes will try to ride the high of last weekend’s surprise victory over the Waterloo Siskins as they return to the Victoria Road arena for three consecutive Saturday games.

This past Sunday, the seventh place Hurricanes defeated the second-place Siskins 4-1 in a game that saw Guelph goaltender Drew Pegrum score an empty-net goal.

“It was unexpected, but it was a good feeling,” Hurricanes head coach Jim MacEachern said. “I’m sure Waterloo will say they had a bad game and we had a great game. Everything we did just worked the way we wanted it. Most importantly, we capitalized and that’s been our problem.”

The Hurricanes have had upbeat practices since the win.

“The kids have been real positive here all week,” MacEachern said.

Hurricanes dominate play, but still lose to Cyclones

From http://www.guelphhurricanes.com

OUR BOYS DESERVED TO WIN

That was the quote General Manager Matt Mullin used after watching his Canes go down 3-2 to the never say quit Listowel Cyclones.

The fast paced game was a thriller with many excellent hits but few penalties. Guelph controlled the game and had many excellent chances to score but bad bounces, goal posts and the fantastic play of Cyclones goalie Drew Pegrum held the Canes off the scoresheet for most of the game.

The Canes went into the 3rd up 2-1 on goals by Cam Jude(3rd) and Ken Rolph(9th) Both goals were set up by Dan Mohle. Other assists went to Connor Ste. Marie and Tyson Theaker. When a team goes into Listowel they know that the Cyclones don’t quit and they seem to be most dangerous in the 3rd. For the second game in a row the Canes watched a couple of bounces go against them in the third and the Cycs as they usually do capitalized and stole a 3-2 win.

Coach MacEachern was obviously upset that his club lost another 3rd period lead but he was able to take away some positives as well. He noted he all 4 lines were solid throughout the game. The line of Mohle, Theaker and Rolph dominated every time they were on the ice.

Due to illness of defensmen Zach Dion and Peter Soligo, Conner Ste Marie played a regular shift on defense and had a stellar performance. Chris MacDougall had another solid goal and could not be faulted for any of the goals.

He was also pleased with the play of newly signed forward Taylor Lakasik. Lakasik is a draft pick of the Owen Sound Attack and recently was playing with the Orangeville Crushers of the OPJHL.

Next game for the Canes is next Thursday when they travel to Barntford to face the formidable Golden Eagles and scoring wizard Josh McQuade.

Next home game is Saturday, November 7th when the Waterloo Siskins are the visitors. Game time at the Sleeman Center is 7:30 p.m.

Mohle emerges as leader for Hurricanes by Tony Saxon

Interesting article about Dan Mohle by Tony Saxon who also writes about the Guelph Storm.

ELMIRA — The Guelph Hurricane’s Dan Mohle wanted his final year of junior hockey to be a big one. So far he’s living up to his own expectations.

The 20-year-old Guelph native currently sits fifth in the Greater Ontario Junior Hockey League scoring and third in the Midwestern Conference, with 12 goals and 12 assists in 13 games this season.

He is already two thirds of the way to equalling his total of 36 points in 50 games last season.
