The Hamilton Hurricanes hosted the Windsor AKO Fratmen in
their 2014 home opener Saturday night. The Hurricanes and Fratmen have quite
the history and quite the rivalry that would lead to a penalty filled contest.
AKO was the first to put up points after Kicker Steven
Schott kicked a 42-yard field goal in the first quarter. That would be the only
successful field goal attempt for the Fratmen, as Schott would only pick up
singles for the duration of the game. Hamilton’s Danny Cerino on the other hand
was successful on both attempts.
Ending the first quarter tied at three, the game was still
up for grabs. Hamilton’s Adam Christopher put the first touchdown of the game
on the board and gave the Hurricanes the lead. Hamilton held the lead for the
rest of the game, and managed to put in a second touchdown with under a minute
to go in the game. The Hurricane’s second touchdown would come from Shawn Ward
to make the final score 22-6.
This is just the first time that these two teams will meet
in the regular season as Hamilton will head to Windsor in the middle of
September. Coach Hayes says that this was AKO’s first game of the season and
the Canes still have some things to work on early in the season, but he’s
pleased to be 2-0 and proud of the guys for how they played Saturday afternoon.
Hamilton will look to keep their winning streak alive as
they head to Twin Cities this weekend to
take on the Predators.
