The game was an intense back-and-forth affair, with both teams refusing to back down. In the end, the Hawks capitalized in overtime, earning two crucial points and solidifying their position at the top of the standings. This win extends their record to 18 wins, seven losses, two overtime losses, and one shootout loss over 28 games.
The Hawks have accumulated 39 points and hold a strong goal differential of +40, with 122 goals scored and 82 conceded. Their winning percentage of 0.696 reflects their consistent performance this season.
Trailing just behind the Hawks are the Petrolia Flyers, who have also had an impressive season with 17 wins and 37 points but couldn’t close the gap in their last matchup. Meanwhile, the Port Stanley Sailors sit in third place, followed by the Mt. Brydges Bulldogs and Thamesford Trojans.
The Hawks’ next challenge will come after the holiday break, on January 4th, where they’ll look to keep their winning streak alive and continue their quest for the division title against North Middlesex on the road. For now, the Exeter community can celebrate a well-earned first-place standing as the team soars into the New Year.
