GMHL Wrap Up - Week 7
Week in Review - Week 7:
The Temiscaming Titans continue to rule the North with an impressive 15-1-0 record. Seguin's offensive surge has continued -- scoring 55 goals in their last four games. The Rama Aces had their win streak snapped by the Toronto Blue Ice Jets this weekend while the Almaguin Spartans continue to struggle after back-to-back losses to the Titans. The struggling Meaford Knights club might have turned things around after picking up their first two victories on the season over Grey Highlands and the Toronto Attack.
The Southern Division continues to be lead by the expansion Tottenham Steam who have only lost one game this season. The Toronto Blue Ice Jets have bounced back after some mid season troubles -- winning their last four. The Toronto Attack are struggling latley, losing their last two to the Meaford Knights and surging Halton Ravens. After picking up former Kingston Frontenac OHL goaltender Colin Furlong along with the Milton Icehawks' OJHL leading scorer Shane Bennet, the Halton Ravens have won two straight and look to be a contending team for this year's Russell Cup.
The game of the week goes to the Meaford Knights who defeated the Toronto Attack 5-3. Meaford has been the last place team the entire GMHL season losing 9 in a row. The heavily favored Attack had only lost one game in regulation previously before playing the Knights
