If the Brampton Excelsiors wanted to jump up a spot in the overall MSL standings, they would need to win the final game of the season by fifteen goals or more.

Northmen Go Up Two Games to None on Warriors

The Six Nations Arrows made good use of their home floor on Tuesday night, defeating the Peterborough Lakers 11-8 in game one of their OLA Junior A semi-final matchup.
