U13 Reps fall to Capitals 4-1
Tuesday night saw the always difficult Walkerton Capitals come to town to play the U13 Cyclone Reps. 

They boys did not get off to a great start in this one as they struggled to gain possession of the puck in their own end and were unable to exit the defensive zone cleanly.  Hunter Donegan was on his game early which allowed the team to stay tied at zero through most of the first period as the Cycs were badly outshot.  Nearing the end of the first the Cycs did get some offensive zone time and saw Patrick Magee find Tyse Hayter loose in the slot where he buried a wrist shot with 2 seconds left giving the boys a 1-0 lead.

The 2nd period saw more of the same as the Caps controlled the play and continued with pressure toward the Listowel net.  After sustained pressure they managed to tie the score and the teams headed for the flood tied 1-1.

So far this year the 3rd period has been the teams best but it was not to be tonight as Walkerton put an early goal past Donegan on a goal mouth collision that appeared to possibly bounce in off a players skate.  The Cycs did generate some changes in the third but were unable to get the equalizer.  The Caps added two more near the end of the game to eventually skate to a 4-1 road win.

It doesn't get any easier next week for the Cylcones as they welcome the Kincardine Kinucks to town on Tuesday.
