The Alliston Hornets continue to maintain first place in the North Carruthers Division of the Provincial Junior Hockey League after 16 games.

They picked up another two points over the weekend with a win over the Penetang Kings.

The Stayner Siskins are in second place in the division with 30 points and a 15-3 record.

They are followed by the Orillia Terriers with 29 points and the Penetang Kings who have recorded 18 points so far this season.

Rounding out the standings are the Innisfil Spartans, Huntsville Otters, Midland Flyers, and the Muskoka Bears.
