Considering the sport is played on an ice surface, it’s somewhat ironic that the Alliston Hornets’ home game against the Penetang Kings, scheduled for Friday, Jan. 31, was postponed due to ice conditions.

Cold weather, ice, and snow squalls in Penetang forced the game to be rescheduled.

It would have been a good game, as the Penetang team has been putting out a strong effort recently in a bid to move up in the standings, while the Hornets are trying to stay on top.

The Hornets still lead the North Carruthers Division of the Provincial Junior Hockey League with a 2-9 record and 52 points.

The Hornets have stayed on top for the entire season except for one brief period when they went into a slump, and the Stayner Siskins moved into first place – but only for a few days.

The Siskins are currently in second place in the division with 49 points and a 28-9 record, including one overtime loss. The Siskins are currently on a four-game winning streak and are a top contender for the Division championship this season.

In third place, the Orillia Terriers have been having a good season and are two points behind Stayner, with 49 points so far.

The Terriers have won 23 games after playing 32 games this season. They are another possible contender to go the distance and make the division final this year.  

In the number four spot in the standings, the Penetang Kings have a 20-13 record. That includes three overtime losses and one shoot-out loss.

The Kings are just three points behind Orillia with 44.

The Midland Flyers and Muskoka Bears are in the middle of the standings in fifth and sixth place.

Midland has 25 points. Muskoka has 20 points.

The Innisfil Spartans are in seventh place with 19 points and a 9-23 record.  They are fighting to stay ahead of the Huntsville Otters and secure a playoff berth. 

The Otters are one point behind with 18.

Huntsville is in the basement with an 8-24 record and no real chance of advancing very far this season.

The Hornets will be back on home ice on Friday, Jan. 30, when they will host the Huntsville Otters at the New Tecumseth Recreation Centre.

Game time is 7:30 p.m.
