  • Winless Streak Hits Double Digits for Aurora Tigers
    This page was exported from - The Auroran Export date: Wed Oct 6 12:43:26 2021 / +0000 GMT Winless streak hits double digits for Aurora Tigers By Jake Courtepatte Having run out of player cards long before the Ontario Junior Hockey League trade deadline, the Aurora Tigers are now just running out the clock. While last Tuesday's deadline came and went with other York Region teams bolstering their rosters for the postseason, Aurora has resigned to miss the playoffs for the first time in six seasons by acquiring cash and some potential for the future. The resulting team of call-ups and younger players fell to both the North York Rangers and Oakville Blades over the weekend, with the Tigers still searching for their first win of the New Year. With both the Rangers and Blades destined for the playoffs with seeding implications on the line, the Rangers first shutout the Tigers at the Aurora Community Centre by a score of 4 ? 0. Forcing goaltender Brayden Lachance to face 54 shots in the game, North York's Ture Linden continued his torrid scoring pace by beating Lachance three times, finishing a natural hat trick just under a minute into the third period. Noah Robinson rounded out the scoring just two minutes later, while Aurora managed just sixteen shots in total on the North York net. The Blades, tops in the OJHL's South division and the second highest scoring team in the conference, disposed of the Tigers the following day 5 ? 2 at the ACC. Oakville scored twice on the powerplay, with the Tigers combining for 31 penalty minutes in the game.
