Pet of the Week SHILOH
OMG Hey!! My name is Shiloh, I am a 5 year old handsome guy as you can see. I am also very loving and outgoing with kind humans. I love meeting new people and basking in all of their undivided attention. I enjoy exploring new places and am curious about every new thing I find. I’m a mellow fellow who just wants to be loved, though I do ask to go home with no young kids because I’m not super keen on youngsters. Older respectful teens would be best. I am also good with respectful dogs too! I am interested in cat toys but I’m more than happy to chill out with you on the couch and enjoy the day in comfort. I’m ready to be your best friend whenever you are! Don’t forget to submit your adoption application online at windsorhumane.org

Flyers double Nationals, lose heartbreaker to Maroons By C. Scott Holland Whenever the Leamington Flyers play the London Nationals, fans know they are watching two teams that will show quality hockey. Such was the case in a very different type of contest between the two rivals here last Thursday. Instead of a low scoring affair, both sides came out with guns ablazing and when the smoke had cleared the Flyers had won 8-4. The Nats struck first early in the first period, but Leamington’s Wyatt O’Neil responded to tie the game less than two minutes later. The
Nationals took another lead on the powerplay at 11:09 before the Connor MacPherson scored his first of three to knot the score again. The Flyers pulled away in the second on goals by Luka Milesovic, Seth Martineau and MacPherson, who completed his hattrick with two. After two, the Flyers led by a 7-2 score. Jason Daraiche’s empty net goal sealed the victory for Leamington late in the third after the Nationals scored twice. Flyers’ head coach Dale Mitchell realizes how every game presents a challenge and how his young
club learns from both winning and losing. “They took it to us for about 7-8 minutes in the second period and I was proud of the guys for weathering that storm,” he said. “Especially Polidori for holding down the house for that stretch to maintain our lead.” On Saturday, October 9, the Flyers played in Chatham where they lost a heartbreaker after rallying to tie the game in the third period. The Maroons won 5-4 in regulation. Chazz Nixon made his Flyers debut in goal. Outside of a Maroons’ threegoal surge in the second,

was a little sloppy, the Ravens eventually found their feet and continually got better as the game progressed, skating to a 12-2 victory. Nash Fuerth led the way, potting an opening night hat trick, while Derek Dunn, Brayden Foster, Nathan Mariuz and AJ Youssef scored two each to help the cause. Ben Liebrock, who opened the scoring, netted one goal to add in the attack. An upcoming tournament should help the team bond and continue to improve as they strive to meet all of the goals they have set for themselves.
