The Dundas Real McCoys turned their fortunes around last Friday night at the Harry Howell arena in Waterdown with a 5 - 2 victory over who are becoming their arch rivals, the Hamilton Steelhawks. It is nice to see what the McCoys can do with a strong bench and having most of their top players on the game sheet. Charlie Stevens, Phil Brewer and Brad Bonello led the way for Dundas with a goal and an assist each, while Dustin Alcock and Darren Haydar added single goals. Guy Polillo and Jason Williams set up two scoring plays each.

The team's fortunes did not last that long when they were defeated by the Stoney Creek Generals the next night at the Gateway Ice Centre by the usual strong showing by the Generals who outscored the McCoys 8 - 5. Dundas got goals from Guy Polillo who chipped in with a pair and singles from Dustin Alcock, Charlie Stephens and Phil Brewer. Polillo continues to be a pleasant surprise for the Dundas coaching staff, a rookie at this level of hockey who hasn't missed a game and leads the McCoys in scoring with 5 goals and 14 assists. He sits in fifth place in league scoring.

Next up for the McCoys is a home game this coming Friday against the Stoney Creek Generals at the "Howell" in Waterdown followed by a bus trip to Whitby the next day for a 6:30pm game. 

Cam Watson scored twice as the Dundas Real McCoys edged the Hamilton Steelhawks 5-4 in Allan Cup Hockey action Friday night in the Harry Howell Arena. The victory was the third of the season for Dundas. Next action is Friday, December 14th at 7:30 pm in the Howell arena.

It was a good effort by both teams that have a natural rivalry, a back and forth affair with both goalkeepers coming up big, Hamilton outshot Dundas 45-36 but as usual, Mike Mole came up big in the McCoys net.

Dustin Alcock, Phil Brewer and Darren Haydar completed the Dundas scoring.

It was a high scoring affair on Friday night at the Harry Howell Arena against the Whitby Dunlops. Unfortunately for the home side, Whitby scored twice in the final 4:15 of regulations to escape with a 9 - 8 win. Eight different McCoys had a multi point game on Friday night with Simon Mangos notching 2 goals and 2 assists. Charlie Stephens also has 2 goals and added an assist while Guy Polillo added 2 goals.

 Dundas Real McCoys President and General Manager Don Robertson is tired of losing one goal games and is set to unleash some high octane fire power on his opponents when former Bratford Blast Jason Williams takes to the ice at home on Friday, November 30th.  

Williams, a native of London won a Stanley Cup with the Detroit Red Wings in 2001-2002 and a Spengler Cup with Team Canada in 2012-2013. The 38 year old right wing and centreman played 455 games in the National Hockey League scoring 94 goals and assisting on 133 others for 227 points.  

He was acquired by Dundas in the Brantford player dispersal draft on September 19th along with the rights to Charlie Stephens, Derek Foam, Jeffery Caister, Shane Terry and Braden Roberts.

The next action for the McCoys is Friday, November 23rd in Hamilton where they play the Steelhawks at 7:30 p, at the Dave Andreychuk Arena. Saturday night they travel to the Gateway Ice Centre for a re-match with the Generals at 7:00 pm.

Last Friday, Stoney Creek Generals, Rob Hisey bounced a shot off Real McCoys goalkeeper Mike Mole to earn a 5-4 victory for his club. It marked the third consecutive time that the McCoys lost by the same score.
