HEAD-TO-HEAD

Tonight marks the first meeting between the two cross conference opponents. The teams last faced off on February 21st during the 2024-25 season, when the Blueshirts secured a 4-1 victory over Barrie. Cameron Arquette was brilliant during the game, adding two tallies in the first period while Cameron Reid also stood out and managed to add a goal between Arquette's markers. The Colts' lone goal came from Bode Stewart, who found the back of the net in the third period.

Last season, the teams met twice, with the Kitchener Rangers winning both contests. Over the past five years, Kitchener has dominated the series winning all six meetings and maintaining an impressive 6-0-0-0 record.

The Kitchener Rangers have started a winning streak, earning their second straight victory. The Rangers put together a strong effort on Friday night, scoring three unanswered goals to defeat Flint 4-1. Tanner Lam opened the scoring with assists from Ellis Haeden and Jacob Xu. Sitting second on the team behind Christian Humphreys, Lam has been impressive so far this season, registering at least a point in nearly every game. Avry Anstis added his second goal of the season, bringing his total to two points, while Christian Humphreys turned in another solid performance, notching a goal and an assist on Cameron Arquette's tally.
