The Mooretoown Flags will be the latest team to try to hand the Lakeshore their first loss of the season when they face the Canadiens on Friday night.

Lakeshore comes into the matchup with a 4-0 record.

The Flags returns home to entertain Wheatley on Saturday at the Moore Sports Complex. Puck drop is 7:30.

Mooretown is hoping to rebound after a pair of losses last weekend.

The Flags rallied from a 3-0 second period deficit but ran out of runway in a 3-2 loss to the Admirals in Amherstburg.

Wes Robertson had a goal and an assist for the Flags Sunday. Lucas Ross had the other for Mooretown.

Despite only allowing 11 goals over its first four games of the PJHL season, the Flags are 1-3.

Saturday at home, former Lambton Jr. Sting Owen Kalp scored twice to lead Blenheim to a 4-2 win.

Jace Dupuis and George Bracewell, with his first career junior goal, scored for Mooretown.

Mitchell Stack and Nolan Bourdage assisted on both goals by the Flags.

Before the Saturday contest, the team recognized Owen MacDonald, Landon Marcy, Dylan Dupuis, John Chartrand, and Masen Flett who aged out after last season.
