Heartbreaker fo Red Aeros 21 (Dec. 2)
One thing is for sure. The Oakridge Red Aeros are a gritty bunch who never say die and never quit. For the third time this season the boys fought back from a 2-0 deficit as they tied their game against the West London Hawks up late in the third period. The Hawks however scored with a mere 10 seconds left in the game to take the win.

Playing with a couple of regulars out of the line up and a couple more battling flu like symptoms the Red Aeros gave it their all and were particularly solid in their own end as they withstood the barrage and cleared the puck out of their zone time after time. The Hawks, who came into the game riding a six game win streak and who are tied for first in the division knew they were in tough against the gritty Red Aeros. Especially after the "Roadrunner" Hunter Craig caught fire and potted a couple of spectacular goals late in the third. "Mad Max" McGill and Lucas "Wheels" Caruso each had great opportunities to net the go ahead marker but it just wasn't to be on this day and the Hawks slipped one by Noah "Freight Train" DeCandido, who played a stellar game in goal, with just a few ticks left on the clock. 
All in all it was a great game that had the fans on their feet throughout. The Red Aeros go up against another West London squad next Saturday morning at 11:00 at Medway Arena.
