It was a night to regret for the Listowel Cyclones following a 9-1 thumping from the Stratford Cullitons.
The Perth County battle at the Allman didn't have the expected flavour. It has been rare any team has broke down Listowel's defensive style.
Stratford scored 3 in the first, 2 in the second and 4 more in the third on 38 shots for the victory.
Listowel's lone goal came late in the third from Derek Elliot.
The Cyclones will look for a better result on Sunday when they head on the road to Brampton.
