Jr. C Hockey Tonight

A pair of Jr. C hockey games are taking place across the region.

The last-place Wallaceburg Lakers have a tough test as they head to Essex to take on the top-ranked 73's.

Lakers head coach and GM Marc Swayze says his team's current 12-game losing streak is taking a toll on the players.

"The blowouts are hard to handle," says Swayze. "You just want to be competitive and have a chance to win the game in the third period and we've done that a bunch lately."

Puck drop is set for 7pm at Essex Memorial Arena.

Elsewhere tonight, the Dresden Kings are on the road in Alvinston facing the Flyers at 7:30pm.
