A capacity crowd of 777 watched the Bears put up a valiant effort, but ultimately succumbed to the Hornets 11-0.
Sunday, the Bears traveled to Innisfil to take on the Spartans in their 1st road game of the year. Jumping out to a 2-0 lead on goals by Mason Taylor-Wood, and Tyson Jennings, a back and forth battle ensued where the Bears got further tallies from Captain Aiden McDonald, and Tyson Jennings 2nd goal of the game, resend the game to a shootout after overtime solved nothing.
Innisfil prevailed and won 5-4 in a shootout.
The Bears next home game is the Battle for Muskoka, as they will host Huntsville Otters Saturday at 7pm at Muskoka Lumber Arena.
