Vermont Division 2 Top 5

The #1 Hartford Hurricanes were probably not expecting a tough game when they traveled to sleepy Missisquoi Valley Union in Northern Vermont to face the (3-10) Thunderbirds, but a heroic 49-save performance from goalie Ethan Stefaniak shut down the normally unstoppable Hartford goal machine. A power play goal with 4 minutes remaining finally finished off MVU. Unbeaten Hartford has just three games remaining and will face U-32 on February 19.
With solid wins over Burlington and Brattleboro, Milton holds on to the #2 spot.
#3 U-32 has won eight in a row and knocked Burr & Burton off the table with a 5-4 win.
Harwood and Woodstock sneak into the rankings as Lyndon, Burr & Burton and Mount Mansfield Union sputter.
