Thorold dumps Falcons again

02-Nov-2007 · 9:50pm

The last time the Thorold Blackhawks were inside the Jack Gatecliff Arena this season they dropped the Falcons 4-2. St. Catharines was hungry for some revenge when Thorold stopped in Friday night for a rematch.

Thorold struck first, however, grabbing a 1-0 lead in the first. The period looked all but over when, with 2.2 seconds left, former Falcons forward Jason Aucoin scored a quick shot past Falcons goaltender Steele De Fazio. Assisting were Johnson Andrews and Blackhawks captain Kevin Ward.
