The Ice-Cats appeared much improved since their last game with the Lightning in October and the game was more of a back-and-forth affair. The only goal of the game was a Kailyn Soers point shot that eluded the Brantford goaltender and went past and in. The shot came off a face- off win by Kelly Gribbons that was fed back to the point by Tori Terpstra. Shea Tiley stopped all Ice-Cat scoring attempts to earn the shutout in net. Next weekend the Lightning travel to Whitby to participate in the Tournament of Heroes, a tribute to fallen Canadian Armed Forces members.
