Ajax, on a slide down the Ruddock table, take on North York who are in the thick of the race for top spot in the Phillips. I'll give the edge to the Attack because of home-ice advantage.
Collingwood, moving along at a fairly respectable clip in the Phillips journey to Bramalea who to put it mildly are struggling in the MacKinnon..again though I'll go with the home team to record win number five.
The MacKinnon Division leading Raiders take on the Vaughan Vipers in Georgetown. Vaughan's 15 games played ranks as the lowest in the division so their relatively lowly position is a little misleading. The Raiders want to keep that top spot and should do so with a slim win tonight.
Ruddock cellar-dwellers the Panthers fresh off a win last night go to the MacKinnon's Oakville Blades who with a win and a Georgetown loss can become numero uno. Pickering is in for a tough night here.
Upper Canada and Dixie renew hostilities from last night where the College shutout the BeeHives. Don't expect the same result in Dixie but an upset looms.
Minnows Villanova go to Orangeville where the Crush desperately want to keep in the race for top spot so the home team should have it fairly easy tonight.
Fellow strugglers Seguin are in the same predicament as they go to Orillia to face the Couchiching Terriers who with a victory will stand second.
The Red Wings will be looking to put together three solid periods on the road as they did last week against St. Mike's when they play the co-leaders of the Central- the Junior Canadiens. If they can do this a tie for third will be the reward.
Milton, who won on the road in Bramalea last night, look to do the same tonight as they face the sad-sack Chargers in Port Credit. Another upset looms?

The Attack edged the Rangers 5-4 this afternoon as Bobby Gertsakis got them on the board and finished up the scoring with the game winning goal as well in the middle of the final frame. Ian Watters also got a pair for the winners. Watters leads all Ajax players with fifteen for the season. Luke Hannon assisted on four of their five goals while David Jenkins stopped 37 of 41 for the W, his eighth against just a single loss. Connor Tresham assisted on all the North York scores and now has 29 points in toto.

A solid performance by the Red Wings in Toronto as they beat the Junior Canadiens 4-1. joey Diamond got numer 23 on the season while Nathan Pageau and Josh McQuade both had their eighteenth. Rob Behling stopped 29 of 30 shots for the win being beaten only early in the second on a powerplay marker from Skylar Quinn. Hamilton fired 53 shots on Patrick Stafford, 18 of them in the first, while the home team managed only four. Now in the ever-tightening Central the Wings find themselves in third place.
Holy old hippo..Blades 11 Panthers nothing. Six points for Brendan Taylor, four for Luke Moodie and two goals for Kellan Lain.
The Chargers enjoyed a rare win overcoming the Icehawks 5-4 in overtime in Port Credit. Mike Santini had two goals and four points for Mississauga. Kris Schmidt and Mike Moher each had a goal and two assists. Kevin Caister was in on all the Milton goals scoring two himself while Ari Lifschutz had three helpers. Down 4-1 the Icehawks scored three times with the goalie out in the last three minutes of regulation and in the overtime Brent McGrail was the hero.
The Blues of Bramalea edged Collingwood 4-2 to record their first regulation time home ice win this season.
Darren McGrath shutout the Bruins as Couchiching won 4-0. He had to repel 29 shots. The Terriers are now number two in the Phillips.
The Raiders are still the tops. They edged the Vipers 3-2 in Georgetown. Actually it was Mark McGowan 3 Vaughan 2 as the veteran forward doubled his season's scoring output in this contest.
The Crush won going away against the Knights in Orangeville. The final there 6-1 and they were led by Justin Cormack's double.

..and in a late-breaking result the Beehives extract revenge on Upper Canada with a 5-3 win in the comfy confines of their own arena. a brace of shorthanded goals in the second period by Kurt Zdrilich and Andrew Oreskovic, his first goal this season, turned the tide for the Bees. Jason Demetrius' powerplay goal made it four to one and they were in the catbird seat for the rest of the way.
