On February 20, the Barrie Colts continued their impressive streak, securing their ninth consecutive win by defeating the London Knights 5-1. The match took place at Canada Life Place during the London Knights Hall of Fame night, where notable players Rocky Farr, Jim Sandlak, and Brandon Prust were inducted. The evening began with a ceremony that honored these former players before the puck dropped.

The early moments of the game saw the Knights take the lead when Brody Cook scored just over three minutes into the first period. However, the Colts swiftly equalized through Nick Desiderio, and then took control of the game with a series of goals, including a short-handed breakaway by Brad Gardiner. This offensive flurry overcame the initial momentum built by London and set the tone for the rest of the match.

In the third period, the Colts solidified their lead with two goals from Joe Salandra, showcasing their offensive depth and resilience. The victory not only highlights Barrie's strong season performance but also poses challenges for their future opponents in the league, as they aim to maintain their winning streak and build momentum toward the playoffs.
