Barrie Colts losing skid continues
Sorry, Colts fans. After a winless weekend, the team’s losing streak has extended to five games.

The Colts return to action Friday, Feb. 11, against the Hamilton Bulldogs.
Moreover, Barrie signed 2020 draft pick Zach Wigle to term! Wigle was a ninth-round selection, hailing from Oakville, Ontario. Additionally, Wigle plays for the Oakville Rangers of the Ontario Junior Hockey League. To date, Wigle has 16 points in 30 games.
