On Sunday, the U13 A Huron Heat welcomed the Mooretown Lady Flags to Clinton’s Central Huron Community Complex and sent them home on the wrong end of a 3-0 score.
The regular season is now in full swing for a number of Huron Heat teams after the excitement of the Harvest Classic tournament in Oakville late last month.
Also on Sunday, the U15 A Heat hosted the Woodstock Wildcats in Clinton, but the locals fell by a score of 5-1. On the road, the U15 B Heat beat the Lady Rangers B team in Kitchener and then the Wilmot Wolverines B team by a score of 3-1 later that night on their way back to Huron County.
On Saturday, the U9 B team hosted the London Devilettes at the Seaforth arena, but that game ended in a scoreless draw. The U11 C Heat were also in Seaforth, though to play the South Huron Sabres C team and that game also ended in a draw with both teams finding the back of the net five times.
Also that day, the U13 HL team played the St. Thomas Panthers on the road and won by a score of 2-0. The U18 BB Heat played the Waterloo Ravens in Clinton, but a score for that game was unavailable at press time.
