When EF Hutton talks, people listen.

When Steve Hardy scores, he makes people listen.

Dustin Silk and Todd Nichol traded first period goals a minute apart for a 1-1 tie.

In the 2nd, Nichol and Hardy scored, and then a late arriving JA would pot two for the Bear Claws. Ryan Collins slid one by Fortini to cut the red lead to 5-2, but the damage was done.

Another Silk goal cut the lead to 5-3, but JA put it out of reach with his hat trick goal with 5 minutes left.

Mike Cormican tacked on a Kotex point late in the game for a 6-4 final.

"We spent alot of time in the box today," said Lloyd Johnston. "Well, I did anyway."

The red Bear Claws remain undefeated, while yellow Cream Puffs were handed their first loss.

"These kinds of losses build character," said Bob Powell. "And we have alot of characters on this team."
