Friday night's contest against North York was played at home before a recorded crowd of over 230 fans at the Alder Street arena. With the teams playing scoreless through the first period, it wasn't until midway through the second that Trent Hawke put one past Rangers goalie Ryan Shibuya with assists from Kevin Van Dyke and Tyson Fawcett.

Van Dyke would also get in on the action four minutes later. This time doing the honours himself with Hawke and Ryan Marcuz collecting the assists.

In the third, Cody Britton put it away for Orangeville with his second goal of the season on assists from Mike Arnold and Scott Collins at 1:32.

Nick Gigone did all that was asked of him in net for Orangeville, turning away all 32 shots fired his way for his second shut-out of the season in the 3-0 win.

Saturday, it was off to Stouffville for a date with the Spirit. Things started well for Orangeville in the first period with Van Dyk teaming up with Jarrod Connolly and Philip Teri to open the scoring at 6:58.

Playing his first game in net for the Crushers, Talon Dorazio stood his ground until midway through the second when Stouffville's Andrew Doyle manage to slip one past him. The Spirit would follow that up with another in the second and two in the third while shutting down Orangeville's offence to take a 4-1 decision from the Crushers.

The weekend wrapped up for Orangeville in Etobicoke where they hooked up with the Streetsville Derby's on the ice of the Westwood Arena.

A first period power-play goal by Arnold at 7:52 assisted by Fawcett and Van Dyke gave them an early lead they would never relinquish.

In the second, Connolly was the set up man for Arnold's second goal of the night before the pair laid the ground work for Teri at 12:46 to give the Crushers a 3-0 lead heading into the final 20 minutes of play.

Connolly and Teri would work together for Orangeville's fourth goal just 37 seconds into the third, with Connolly doing the honours before Arnold popped his third for the hat trick, unassisted at 6:21.

Calvin Higley made it 6- 0 at 9:22 with an assist going to Krystian Yorke.

Gigone looked to be on his way to his second shut out in as many games until Streetsville's Mike Radisa spoiled that with just 1:15 left to play but it was way little, way too late as the Crushers went on to win 6-1.
