Leaside Wildcats win one, lose one in post-holiday play

The Leaside Junior Wildcats have come back from the holidays to win one and lose one. The Cats sit fifth in the 20-team Provincial Women’s Hockey League. By the curious whimsy of hockey they defeated number two-ranked Oakville Hornets 1-0 on January 6 but fell Thursday night to the 15th placed Brampton Canadettes 2-1. Saturday the Wildcats meet Stoney Creek in Hamilton and January 20 they host the Barrie Sharks at Leaside Arena. It will be the first match with Barrie since that team suffered the tragic loss of Captain Avery Andrew in a car accident New Year’s Day.
