Home could be sweeter for Blues
 
By Eamonn Maher, Enterprise-Bulletin

Not so long ago, the Eddie Bush Memorial Arena was an intimidating place for visiting teams to play in, and while the fortunes of the Collingwood Blues have improved drastically over the past month, home hasn't been the safest of havens for the club.

The 15-14-3-1 Blues, who are on a six-game unbeaten streak heading into this weekend's OHA Provincial Jr. ?A' Hockey League action, have already lost five times on home ice and have two ties thrown in as well.

On Friday, Collingwood will host the North Conference basement-resident Huntsville Wildcats at 8:30 p.m., followed by rival Couchiching on Saturday evening, with a puck drop at 8 p.m. The Terriers own a 4-0 mark against the Blues this season.

"What we're concerned about is that our guys might look past the Huntsville game and be thinking about (Couchiching)," said Blues' coach Tim Dickey. "We're not good enough yet to be even thinking about taking teams lightly."

The Terriers learned last week that Huntsville can be dangerous as the Wildcats posted an 8-3 victory on home ice.
