On the take in Elliot Lake
Elliot Lake Red Wings of the Northern Ontario Jr. Hockey League are getting oh so very close to a potential takeover.
As in a possible move up from the basement of the NOJHL’s West Division to the fifth and final playoff spot.
Elliot Lake has gained five points from a record of 2-0-1 over its last three outings. The modest streak has improved Elliot Lake’s overall record to 7-20-1 on the season and moved the Red Wings to within a single point of the fifth place Espanola Express.
Espanola has 16 points from a record of 7-14-2 and does have five games in hand on Elliot Lake. The Express, though, has been on a rough train ride of late and has a record of 0-7-1 over its past eight games.
