The Leaside Jr. Wildcats return home Sunday from a three-game road trip to Southwestern Ontario on which they netted two wins and a tie. This performance bumped the Cats into fourth place in the 20-team Provincial Women’s Hockey League (PWHL) at midday. It is rarefied country as Leaside follows only the Toronto Aeros, Stoney Creek Sabres and Oakville Hornets at the top of the league. Friday the Leaside squad defeated the Rivulettes 3-2 in London. On Saturday it was 5-2 against the cellar-dwelling Southwestern Wildcats in Windsor and Sunday morning they tied a plucky Bluewater Hawks team 2-2 in the farm town of Strathroy. That game was a festival of hockey misdeeds with eight penalties divided four-four between the teams. Two goals were scored on power plays and the Hawks pulled goaler Kirby Way in a successful bid to get the tie. Remarkably, Leaside then had to fight off a tripping penalty incurred at 19.09
