The team travelled to Tiverton on December 13th to play the Kincardine Kinucks and came away with a frustrating 2-0 loss. The team played very well dominating the play for most of the game and had numerous scoring opportunities and 2 disallowed goals. Credit must be given to the Kincardine goalie who made numerous saves and earned the win for her team.
The Mount Forest Rams visited on December 14th and the girls earned a hard fought 7-3 win on home ice. Chloe Zettler had a huge game with 4 goals as did Maggie Bujold with 2 goals of her own. Chloe started the scoring early in the first to put Walkerton up 1-0 only to have Mount Forest come back with 2 quick goals to take a 2-1 lead.

Mount Forest scored again late in the period and Walkerton took a 4-3 lead into the third period. The rest of the game belonged to Walkerton. Chloe quickly netted her fourth goal followed soon after by Emily Mason to put Walkerton up 6-3. Maggie would net a late goal to seal the 7-3 victory which was a well rounded team effort for Walkerton. Alyssa Turnbull made several saves including 2 or 3 breakaways to give her team a chance to win. McKenna Hickling, Sonya Spitzig, Nicole Schmidt, and Megan Bell did a fantastic job on defense making the Mount Forest forwards work hard for their opportunities.
