Hornets' PWHL unbeaten streak ends at 22 Nearly three months after the Provincial Women's Hockey League season began, the Oakville Hornets finally got their first taste of defeat. Oakville lost 6-2 to the second-place Whitby Wolves Saturday at Joshua's Creek Arenas, snapping the Hornets' 22-game unbeaten streak (20-0-2) to start the PWHL campaign. Christina Putigna and Loren Gabel scored in a losing cause for the Hornets. Daniela Paniccia and Nikki Cece split time in net for Oakville. The Hornets were without PWHL-leading scorer Madison Field and top-scoring defenceman Jaime Bourbonnais, who played for Hockey Canada's women's under-18 selection camp team in exhibition games against an Ontario University Athletics all-star squad Oakville Gymnastics Club tumbler Michael Chaves, pictured practising last year, was 11th in the senior men's division at the world trampoline and tumbling championships recently in Daytona Beach, Fla. | Oakville Beaver file photo 33 | Thursday, December 18, 2014 | OAKVILLE BEAVER | www.insideHALTON.com last weekend in Waterdown.

Oakville resident Kristin O'Neill saw action as well for the national U18 camp team, which won Friday's game 2-0 but fell 5-4 in a shootout Sunday. The Hornets rebounded from Saturday's loss in a big way, blanking the Aurora Panthers Tuesday at Joshua's Creek. Gabel (three goals,one assist) and Olivia Atkinson (one goal, three assists) each enjoyed four-point outings. Emma Maltais, Putigna and Field added goals for the Hornets, with Paniccia recording the shutout.
