Otters take first 2 games of OMHA Quarter Finals !
The Armstrong Dodge Midget AE Huntsville Otters made the trip to Listowel to commence the quarter finals of their OMHA playoffs against the Cyclones.

The boys played game one Saturday, and they came to play with a sense of urgency. After scoring 2 goals in the first 10 minutes of the tilt, the Otters would head into the 2nd period with a favorable 2-0 lead.

Cyclones had a strong 2nd period, scoring 3 goals, only to be matched by 2 goals from the Otters to give Huntsville a 4-3 lead heading to the 3rd. An early 3rd period goal was all it took as that would be the final goal of the game that finished in a 5-3 game 1 victory. 

The next day, the Otters were back on the ice for game 2  looking to take a commanding lead in the series. With the nerves gone from game 1, Huntsville showed what they were made of. Just as the quiet first period was coming to a close, Huntsville would bury a late goal to end the first period on a high note. From there the Otters went on to score 4 more unanswered goals - 3 goals in the 2nd and an early goal in the 3rd, giving the team a 5-0 lead with just under a period of play remaining. The Cyclones were able to strike once in the middle of the final period but to no avail as Huntsville walked away with a crushing 6-1 win.

The Otters headed home with 2 wins, bringing game 3 back to Huntsville for the best of 5 series. Come out and support the team at 6:10pm on the Don Lough this Saturday, February 13th.
