Orangeville Drops Two Close Games

The Americans dropped two close games this week, ending their six game win streak. A 6-5 loss to the Mattawa Voyageurs and a 4-3 loss to Seguin has the Americans sitting tied for sixth place overall at 7-5-0.

Orangeville opened the game against Mattawa up 4-0 in the second period. However, Mattawa stormed back to take the match 6-5 final. Christian Tyson had four points in the losing effort and Mike Kurek had two goals. Nathan King and Brandon Martin had singles in the game. Alex Wooley was handed the loss in goal.

The Americans returned to Alder Arena yesterday evening to play the Seguin Huskies. It was a 3-3 game up until the four minute mark in the third period, when a Husky player was able to sneak one past Alex Zion to take the match. That said, Zion played outstanding between the pipes turning away 56 shots and being named first star of the game. Goal scorers for Orangeville included Hussey, Kurek and Kurt Schmidt who scored his first ever junior hockey goal.
