The Shelburne Senior AA Muskies managed to start the scoring in Saturday’s (Jan. 1) game against the Saugeen Shores Winterhawks, but for the rest of the night they were shut out by the visitors.
The opening goal came from Muskies forward Trevor Van Alstine.
The Muskies knew they were in for a tough battle. The Winterhawks arrived at the Centre Dufferin Recreation Complex as the first place team in the League with a 15–4 record and 29 points after 19 games. They average almost six goals per game.
The Muskies played a good game defensively stopping any Winterhawks goals in the first period and keeping the visitors to a single in the second frame.
It was the third period that got away from them when the Winterhawks notched four to end the game and take the win.
You’ve got to hand it to Shelburne goalie Ed Davey, who according to the WOAA website, too 74 shots on net for the game and made 69 saves.
Behind the Winterhawks in the North Division, the Mapleton-Minto 81’s are the number two spot followed by the Elora Rocks in third place.
The Muskies are in seventh place in the League with eight points.
In the South Division the Clinton Radars are leading with 30 points and a 14–5 record, followed by the Tillsonburg Thunder 28 points and the Tavisstocok Royals who also have 28 points.

On Saturday, January 24, they will host the Elora Rocks at the CDRC.
The puck drop is scheduled for 8:00 p.m.
