GMHL Wrap Up - October 7th, 2014

 

Week in Review - Week 3

This past week saw all 22 GMHL teams hit the ice with some outstanding team and individual performances.

In the North,  the South Muskoka Shield extended their perfect season to six games (6-0-0) with victories over the Rama Aces and Bracebridge Blues. In the North vs South rivalry, the Northern teams took a few upsets over Southern teams with the Bracebridge Blues upsetting the Alliston Coyotes and the Grey Highlands Bravehearts taking a game off the Toronto Predators.

The week was highlighted by the Sturgeon Falls Lumberjacks handing the Temiscaming Titans their first regulation loss of the year 9-6 on Saturday evening. This was the Lumberjacks second win on the year.

The Southern Division has four teams starting to pull away from the pack. The Toronto Attack, Toronto Blue Ice Jets, Tottenham Steam and Niagara Whalers have begun to separate themselves from the rest of the 12 team division. However, the remaining 8 teams in the South have proven then can win on any given night.
