The Ice went into the Christmas Break with a 7-1 win. Ice head into Christmas break with 7-1 win over Quebec By Jon Kuiperij OAKVILLE BEAVER STAFF Peter McCusker · Oakville Beaver The Oakville Trafalgar Red Devils (black jerseys) went into the Christmas Break on a winning note, handing the Loyola Hawks a 57-50 defeat in senior high school basketball action. That's it until January The Halton high school spoits season is now in its twoweek Christmas break, and will resume the first week of January. On page D3, you'll find the standings for the Halton high school league's Volpe Division, which houses all the Oakville schools. If you log on to www.hssaa.org, you'll find the standings for the Burlingtonbased Richardson Division as well as a recap of scores and upcoming schedules. If the Oakville Ice asked Santa for improved offensive production, the wish came true a few days early. The senior women's hockey squad exploded for a 7-1 victo ry over the Quebec Avalanche Sunday afternoon at Ice Sports, two days after being blanked 20 by the basement-dwelling Telus Lightning. Oakville dominated territo rially from start to finish, breaking a 1-1 deadlock with five unanswered goals in the middle frame and adding another in the final stanza. "We had something like 20 shots in the first period and we only had (one) goal," said Ice captain Kathy McCormack who potted a goal. "We knew it was going to come so we just kept going and going." The big gun was Tammy Lee Shewchuck with two tal lies. Goaltender Allison Houston notched her fifth win of the season. McCormack was pleased with the way her team contin ued to attack the inferior Quebec club and maintained its intensity. "I think we play down sometimes to the levels of weaker opponents, (but today) we played our good game and that was nice to see," she said. `T o win convincingly was excellent for us." Oakville enters the Christmas break with a 9-11-2 record, good for third in the National Women's Hockey League (NWHL) central division.
