Annie MacDonald's late goal salvages a point for Hornets Annie MacDonald connected with seven seconds remaining in the third period to put the Oakville Hornets even with the Aurora Panthers in Provincial Women's Hockey League junior play Tuesday night at Joshua's Creek Arenas. The two teams couldn't break the tie in overtime and it ended 2-2. Aurora twice took the lead but the Hornets' Maddie Sisokin's second-period goal tied the score at 1-1 and MacDonald's late heroics, with assists from Sisokin and Devon Facchinato, tied it a period later. Nikki Cece stopped 16 of 18 shots in the Hornets' goal. Sunday, the London Devilettes scored twice in the final 90 seconds to hand the Hornets a 3-1. The teams exchanged goals in the first period, with Jessica Smith scoring for Oakville. It remained 1-1 until London took the lead with 1:30 to play in the third. The Devilettes added an empty-net goal. Daniela Paniccia made 20 saves for the Hornets. Oakville is playing without Julia Edgar, Emma Maltais and Jaime Bourbonnais, who are representing Canada at the World Women's Under-18 Hockey Championships in St. Catharines. The Hornets, tied for sixth place with Leaside with a 16-7-3-1 record for 36 points, are on the road for games in Waterloo (Saturday) and Barrie (Sunday) this weekend. Annie MacDonald's goal with seven seconds remaining in the game helped her Oakville Hornets gain a point with a 2-2 tie against Aurora on Tuesday. | photo by Herb Garbutt ­ Oakville Beaver Highest-ranking taekwondo grand master visiting Oakville for series of seminars The world's highest ranking taekwondo grand master is visiting Oakville later this month.

Pascal Michaud of the Annandale Golf and Curling Club edged Molnar 4-3 with a steal of one in the final end on the opening day. That would prove to be critical; Michaud finished tied for second with a 5-2 record while Molnar was fourth at 4-3. The Oakville Curling Club rink, consisting of Molnar, Tyler Marshall, Jacob Delisle and Brandon Holowczak, rebounded to win its next three matches. It posted convincing wins over Graham Singer (9-1), Russell Cuddie (10-3) and Kieran Scott (6-3). In the morning draw of the final day of round-robin play, the Molnar rink lost a close 5-3 decision to Doug Kee. The Navan Curling Club rink went undefeated on its way to claiming the Ontario title. The Oakville rink closed the round-robin with a 9-6 victory over James Harris. Molnar qualified for provincials by winning the Region 2 title in November, going 4-1. The Oakville foursome fell behind 3-0 in the first end of the semifinal. It scored one in the 10th end to tie the match and then won it with a steal of one in the first extra end. That set up a rematch in the final against Troy Stoner of Whitby, which handed Molnar its lone loss. The Oakville rink scored two in the first end, added three in the sixth and stole two in the seventh on its way to a 10-3 victory.
