CANES & CYCLONES MAKE TRADE

Hurricanes General Manager Matt Mullin has pulled off a trade with the Listowel Cyclones that appears to help both teams.

Ken Rolph and Dan Mohle traded to Listowel

Offensive threats Dan Mohle and Ken Rolph will be travelling to Listowel to complete their junior careers with the tough Cyclones.

With the addition of the two 20 year olds the Cyclones are now in the hunt for the Sutherland Cup.

Coming to the Huricanes are two 1992’s Blair Goss from Fergus and Jake Weidner from Grand Valley. Weidner also plays lacrosse for the Elora Mohawks. Included in the deal for Guelph are future considerations.

Mullin thanked Mohle and Rolph for their service with Guelph junior B’s and wished them continued success in Listowel.

The irony of this deal is that the Canes and Cyclones play a home and home series this weekend starting Friday night in Listowel.

The Cyclones with Mohle and Rolph in the lineup visit the Sleeman Center on Saturday. Game time is 7:30 p.m.

Hurricanes KO’s Cullitons to extend Stratford’s losing streak to 10 games

Cohen Adair lays on the ice after a hard Hurricanes check. He would return to the game later.

A night after a 8-0 loss in Waterloo, the Guelph Hurricanes bounced back and posted a character win by beating  the slumping Stratford Cullitons 6-3.

“They showed a lot of character to come back after a tough loss last night. This club has a lot of heart and I am proud of them.” says Hurricanes Head Coach Jim MacEachern

The win moves Guelph’s record to 8-15-2 for 18pts., while the loss which was the 10th in a row for the Cullitons, moves Stratford’s record to 12-12-0 24pts..

Six Hurricanes players each collected 2 pts. (Luca Penzo, Dan Mohle, Martin Kudla, Mike McFarlane, Ken Rolph and Mike Iacocca) and Chris McDougall returned between the pipes to 28 of 31 shots.

• Although Chris McDougall’s rights were traded earlier this week from the Kitchener Rangers to the Peterborough Petes, he will remain playing with the Hurricanes for the time being.
• Also, I received word from the Hurricanes trainers that injured Kitchener Dutchmen defenceman Brant Nicolson was released from the hospital and is expected to make a full recovery. Last week he crashed into the boards and was carried off on a stretcher.

The Hurricanes next game is this coming Thursday as they seek revenge from the Waterloo Siskins at The Sleeman Centre. Please note the game time is 7:45pm.
