The Provincial Junior Hockey League continues to provide a lot of excitement and a few surprises this season.

In the Carruthers Division, of the League, local teams battled it out over the weekend with a few surprise results.

The Stayner Siskins have been at the top of the standings for most of the season, but they took a surprise loss to the fourth place Alliston Hornets on Sunday (Dec. 5) night when they travelling to Alliston home ice.

It was a 3-2 game going into the final period when both teams started hitting the back of the net.

The game was tied twice with each team then taking the lead. With five minutes left on the clock the game was tied at six.

Alliston took the win when they scored with six seconds remaining in regulation time.

It was only the third loss for the Siskins this season.

The other weekend upset happened when the fifth place Penetang Kings travelled to Orillia to go up against the second place Terriers.

The Terriers have lost only three games this season.

The Kings got the jump on the Terriers with a 3-1 lead in the second frame. Orillia closed the gap to make it a 3-2 game with one period left to go.

Both teams scored singles in the final period to give Penetang the 4-3 win.

The next three teams are separated from the top by only three points.

Orillia is in second place with 27 points. The Schomberg Cougars are in third place in the standings with 27 points.
