Waterloo’s relentless forecheck kept the Hurricanes on their heals most of the night and this created many scoring chances for the Siskins in their 4-2 win over the Guelph Thursday night at The Sleeman Centre.

Except for 10 minutes in the 2nd period, the Siskins were aggressive in taking the play to the Hurricanes.
If it wasn’t for the stellar goaltending by Chris McDougall who turned away 40 of 44 shots, the score of this game could have easily mirrored the score in their last outing when Waterloo beat Guelph 8-0.
In the opening period, Waterloo fired 24 shots at McDougall and jumped out to a 3-0 lead on goals by Scott Nagy, Ryan Dilks and Andrew Csumrik.
Tyson Theaker pulled the Hurricanes within 2 with a goal 17 seconds into the second period.
Waterloo’s Tony Blyde restored the Siskin’s 3 goal lead 2 and a half minutes later.
The score stayed 4-1 until Peter Soligo scored on shot from the point after Siskins goalie Will Sibley stopped Nic MacEachern and Mike McFarlane on a 2 on 0.
The Hurricanes pulled their goalie late in the game but couldn’t get another one past Sibley.
Final Score: Waterloo (now 18-5-0) 4, Guelph (now 8-16-2) 2
The Hurricanes take to the road for their next 2 games, Saturday in Cambridge and Sunday in Elmira.
Guelph’s next home game will be next Thursday December 3rd against the league leading Brantford Golden Eagles. Game time is 7:45 pm.
