The Stratford Hunter Steel Warriors travelled to the Vollmer Recreation Complex to take on the Vipers in the second head-to-head matchup in under two weeks.

Warriors' defenceman Matthew Blake recently played his 100th career game in the Greater Ontario Hockey League. Veteran of three years with St. Thomas and Stratford, Blake says he is glad to be part of the league.

Leading up to games against the Strathroy Jets and the Alvinston Killer Bees, two of the Stratford Irish’s rivals, owner and head coach Marco Alexander shared his thoughts with the Times for the two games ahead.
