The Bees retook first place scoring eight unanswered goals in the first period in bouncing Halton Hills, 11-2 in Action Saturday.
Alvinston now leads Strathroy by a point in the standings with each team having three games remaining in the regular season including another first place showdown this Saturday in Alvinston. Puck drop is 6:45.
In Acton, Captain James McEwan got the party started early scoring less than two minutes into the contest, his first of three goals on the night. He also added an assist.
Jacob Chantler had a pair of goals and three assists with Ethan Lamoureux and Caden Faulkner both adding a goal and three assists.
Cameron Krupa, Jamie Fraser, Cameron Rombouts and Matthew Cunningham also scored for Alvinston who had period leads of 8-0 and 10-1 on its way to the two points.
Brandon Coutu and Spencer Hutchinson both had two assists.
Thirteen of 14 Killer Bees’ skaters registered at least one point on the evening.
