Brooklin @ Oakville – July 8th at 8 PM
The 2-9-1 Oakville Rock host the Redmen tomorrow night at the Activa Sportsplex in what should be a tight game as they have split the season series to date with one win a piece.
The Rock are coming a hard fought loss to the Lakers on Thursday night and will be looking to put a W in the win column and separate themselves from the last place Brampton Excelsiors (2-10) who sit just one point behind them.
The Rock will be relying on superstar Stephen Leblanc who leads the team in scoring with 36 points (18G, 18A) and secondary offense of Nic Grasby (8G, 19A) and MSL rookie A.J Masson (12G, 13A) 25 points.
