GRAHAM PAINE / CANADIAN CHAMPION Hurricanes downed by Dogs An early surge and solid penalty killing weren't quite enough for the midget Hurricanes Saturday afternoon, as they were toppled 5-3 by the formidable Hamilton Jr. Bulldogs ai Milton Sports Centre. Sporfing nîne Milton-area players this season (thse most in recent memory) but without the services of suspended play- maker Brandon Denham, the Hurricanes simply couldn't build on the momentum of scoring three imes inside a mnute-and-a- haîf midway througb tIhe opening framte. Andrew Bergman scored on two transi- ion breaks just 44 seconds apari Lu erase a 2-0 Hamilton lead, while fellow Miltonian Spencer Abraham - a mobile defenceman and part of a gifted hockey famnily - put the hosis ahead on a nifty rush. From there, however, the Hurricanes stuiggled Lu, put enough pressure on the Bulldogs' goalie and - without Denham - faltered on a handful of powerplays. Drew Dutton assisted on the second goal, while he, Abraham and fellow local George Kopas delivered some sound penal- ty killing to keep bopes of victory alive. Rounding out the midgets' Milton con- tingent are Colin Christie, MatL Dupont, Oran Ferguson and Dan Plater. Now 2-4 in SCIA play, the Hurricanes will look Lu get back in the win column tonight, when they begin a Lhree-game road trip in Brampton.
