Happy Hallowe'en! The Stoney Creek Warriors were trick o' treating inside Jack Gatecliff Arena Friday night, facing the Mountainview Homes Falcons with their second visit this season.

The Warriors were spooked in the first period as the Falcons scored two early markers, while Stoney Creek remained shutout during the first 20 minutes of play.
