If Peterborough wins their remaining four games (likely), and Brooklin loses all five of their remaining games (unlikely), Peterborough would take over top spot in the MSL. While Peterborough is on a hot streak, Brooklin has just been too good this season to expect them to give up the top spot. The two teams meet on Wednesday at Iroquois Park in Whitby, their last meeting of the regular season. Peterborough…
The MSL playoff race heated up this weekend with the resurgence of the Brampton Excelsiors, who picked up wins over both the Brooklin Redmen and Six Nations Chiefs.
