Milton Menace fans cheer the team on during 2019-2020 season
The Milton Menace are continuing to finish games strong as the team remains undefeated on the season.
They started off the year with a big 7-1 win over the Georgetown Raiders. Read more here.
Would they carry that momentum into the weekend as they took part in their first back-to-back of the young season?
It started off on Friday, September 11th with a home match-up against the Pickering Panthers at the Milton Memorial Arena.
Cameron Lang kicked the scoring off late in the first period with his first of the season. It was assisted by Dallys Hibbert and Brady Wassink. Milton would take the 1-0 into the first intermission.
In the second period, Pickering would tie the game on the man advantage, but the Menace found an answer soon after. Evan Berrigan buried his first of the year, with Hibbert and Jacob Norman providing the helpers. It was 2-1 Milton after 40 minutes of action.
An insurance marker from the team’s current scoring leader, Nathan Catalano, helped the Menace win the game 3-1.
Austin McKillop was back in net for the Menace. He had a busier night this time around, but he proved to be efficient as he stopped 30 of 31 shots for the .967% save percentage and the win.
There was no time for rest as the Menace hit the road on Saturday, September 12th to compete against the Aurora Tigers at the Aurora Community Centre.
The first period was scoreless, with Milton dominating the shots 19-8.
Aurora was the first to score in the second period, but it was eventually answered by Don William Bristol just before intermission. His 2nd of the year was assisted by Nathan Catalano and Quinlan Clair. That made 1-1 heading into the final frame.
Bristol would find twine in the third period, this time unassisted on the man advantage, to give the Menace the late game lead. That proved to be the game winner as Milton beat Aurora 2-1.
Austin McKillop was called upon again for the second game of the back-to-back. He kept things level, stopping 28 of 29 shots for the .965% save percentage and his third win in as many games.
Next up will be a return home for the Menace. They host the Wellington Dukes on Tuesday, September 15th at the Milton Memorial Arena. Game time is set for 7:00 p.m. Follow the game here.
