The Alliston Junior C Hornets turned it up a notch, maybe a couple of notches, in the third period of Friday (Jan. 27) night’s game against the Orillia Terriers to come back from a 5-3 deficit and win the game 7-5.

At the end of the first the game was tied at one after the Terriers scored on a short-handed goal that was matched by Alliston’s Devon Gillham just over a minute later on a powerplay opportunity.

The Terriers went ahead at 18 seconds in the second period.

Gillham got his second of the game 15 seconds later when he scored after taking the feed from John Gage – his second assist of the night.

The period ended with the Terriers leading 5-3 after they scored two mid-frame goals and another with under a minute left in the period.

Alliston’s Mackenzie Flewelling scored on a power play at the 17:45 mark in the period.
