W 7-3 at PCS, W 3-2 at WEL, W 7-2 vs PCS, W 5-3 at PEL

L 1-4 at SAR, W 2-0 vs SFD, W 5-3 at ELM, W 6-3 at LON, W 5-2 vs KOM, W 6-2 at WEL
The Stars — who ranked 12th in league scoring at the time — got an offensive boost with the return of their 2025-16 scoring leader Myles Dunn from the Sarnia Sting.  It did not pay immediate dividends.  In his first game, the Stars were upset by the previously winless Legionnaires.  The Stars responded with 5 straight wins.  Against the Warriors, Dylan Durno (Owen Sound Attack, 2024) had his second straight 50+ save effort for his second shutout of the season.   After going without a point in his first two games, Dunn has scored 6 goals — including his second career hat trick in the win over the Canadians — and three assists in his last four games.  The Stars have earned points in all 8 home games (7-0-0-1).

In the loss to London, the Falcons surrendered 8 goals in a home game for the first time since an 8-1 loss to Caledonia in November of 2014.  They bounced back with a gritty win over the Generals with Jameson Fabbro (Erie Otters, 2024) recording his first career GOHL hat trick.  The Falcons rallied from a 2-0 third period deficit in the OT loss in Cambridge, earning their
league-best 9th point when trailing after two periods.  The Falcons have surrendered just 6 goals in the third period — fewest in the league.

Against the Titans, Rylan Da Costa (Sudbury Wolves, 2026) stopped all 30 shots faced for his first career GOHL shutout and Michael Ball (Brantford Bulldogs, 2026) scored twice, with his 7 goals tied for most among GOHL defencemen.  In that game, the Warriors scored 3 power play goals and have a league-best 37.8% success rate with the man advantage in road games, while their home power player ranks 23rd (13.5%).  In the win over the Centennials, Drake Neal scored the tying goal with 3 seconds left in the third period and then scored the only goal in the shootout, extending the Siskins’ point streak to five games (4-0-1-0).
