On Saturday afternoon, the Bandits dominated the Hurricanes, who seemingly could only muster any real offensive threats when Bedford had players in the penalty box.

Early on the shots on goal were close to 20-3 for Bedford.

Phenwick MacLean turned the red light on four times and assisted on another for the Bandits in the win.

Calvin Craver scored twice, chipping in with three helpers, while Hunter MacLean added a single tally.
