The boys are back in town

By Roger Varley

In a rare case of hosting two games on successive nights, the Uxbridge Bruins Junior C team will be back in action this week.

The Bruins will host the Amherstview Jets of the Tod Division on Friday night at 7:45 p.m. and then face the Shmaltz Cup winning Napanee Raiders, also of the Tod Division, the following night at the same time. In fact, the Bruins’ first five games of the new season will be against Tod teams.

Fans will see a lot of new faces on the Bruins roster, with almost half the team being newcomers. That includes two new faces between the pipes as Cam Smith and Jordan Yaremchuk take over goaltending duties from last season’s Ryan McConkey and Jacob Gordon. Leading the team into the 2019-20 season will likely fall on the shoulders of goal-getter Justin Bennett, two-way man Matthew Hunter, Stefan Palatsidis and Daniel Wu. In the pre-season schedule, Hunter scored three goals and two assists, Palatsidis had two and two and Wu counted four assists as the Bruins won two games and suffered an overtime loss.

Last season, the Bruins won the league championship and the Cougar Cup after winning the Orr Division playoffs. They were beaten by Napanee in the first round of the Shmaltz Cup playoffs.
