On home ice on December 18, they blew out the St. Catharines Falcons 6-1.
Another high-scoring win worked in the Meteors’ favour on December 15 when they beat the Pelham Panthers 7-4 in their home barn in Fonthill.
After a two-week hiatus, the Meteors will return to action when they pay another visit to the Pelham Panthers for a Sunday afternoon puck drop at 2:45 p.m.
They will visit Ayr on January 9 and then welcome the Hamilton Kilty B’s to the Leisureplex on January 11 with a 7 p.m. game start.
Through 30 games, the Meteors have won 20 and lost eight in regulation, but have gained one point in both overtime losses on the season.
The Ayr Centennials and St. Catharines Falcons, two teams the Meteors have recently won against, are tied for first place in the Greater Ontario Junior Hockey League eastern conference.
They each have 49 points and the Meteors are behind with a total of 42 points.
The Port Colborne Sailors and Cambridge Redhawks are next in the standings, both with 37 points.
