BY SHAWN LOUGHLIN

Huron Heat Day - now a two-day extravaganza of girls’ hockey at the Seaforth and District Community Centre - saw a number of Heat teams hit the ice last Friday and Saturday, with many finding victory along the way.

 

Friday night began with a pair of draws, as the U13 A Heat finished square with the London Devilettes at two goals each and then the U13 HL Heat tied the Bluewater Hawks at one. After those games, the U15 A team lost an exhibition game to the Stratford Aces by a score of 3-2, followed by a 3-1 defeat for the U18 BB Heat at the hands of the Walkerton Capitals.

 

The next day, Seaforth played host to exhibition games between the U7, U9 C and U9 HL Heat teams and their Twin Centre Hericanes friends, while the U11 A team played an exhibition game with the South Huron Sabres.
