Ghouls, ghosts, pumpkins and cold chilly October winds mean one thing in Windsor.
No, it is not Halloween or that fall weather is leaving us and winter is on its way.
It is Hocktoberfest, an international women’s hockey festival that Windsor proudly plays host to every October.
With games, clinics, and other unique festivities, over a 100 teams from all over North America and Europe converge in Windsor for a four-day period.
The Windsor Lancers Women’s hockey team got the chance to participate in the events of Hocktoberfest this past Saturday, when they hosted the York Lions at the WFCU Centre.
It was a battle of the goalies in the first two periods, as neither team wanted to give up the go-ahead goal. >>

Travelling stateside this past weekend, the Windsor Lancers Men’s hockey team looked to get back on the winning road in exhibition games versus Ivy League Colleges.
After a devastating 7-0 blow-out at the hands of the Cornell Big Red, the Lancers came back to defeat the Princeton Tigers 5-3 on Sunday.
The Lancers’ offensive woes continued to rear their ugly head when the Lancer took on the Cornell Big Red in New York on Friday.
After holding off the Big Red for a majority of the first period, Tyler Roeszler picked up a loose puck at the blue line and fired it behind Lancer goalie Jim Watt with less than a minute left to play in the first period.
Roeszler added another tally halfway through the second, bringing the score to 2-0.
The Lancers could not gain an edge, and heading into the third, they were down 4-0. >>
