Ripley Wolves on winning streak at home and on the road

The Ripley Wolves are on a winning streak, trouncing the opposition at home and on the road over the past month, in the Ontario Elite Hockey League.

Saturday night, the Wolves travelled to Creemore and gave the Coyotes their second drubbing in a week, by an 11-3 score.

It was a four-goal night for Ripley’s Cody Britton which set the tone for the game. Joining Britton in the goal-scoring parade, were Ethan Skinner (2), Garrett Meurs, Gerrit Satosek, Christian Monachino, Carter Servais, and Kaden Hoggarth.

Assists went to Meurs (5), Britton (2), Servais (2), Tyson Soers, Mike Howes, Jordan Moulton, Hoggarth, and Monachino.

The first defeat against Creemore was a week ago, when the Wolves took a bite out of the Coyotes, 9-1, Sunday afternoon, Nov. 16, at the Ripley Arena.

The Wolves potted three in the first period and five in the second to cruise to their second consecutive 9-1 victory in OEHL action.
