Dirty Danglers Snap The Outsiders’ Six-Game Win Streak In 5-3 Barnburner
It was a wild one in Division 4 action as the Dirty Danglers put on a stickhandling clinic to knock off The Outsiders 5-3, officially putting an end to The Outsiders' sparkling six-game winning streak.
The Danglers wasted no time setting the tone in the opening frame. Cameron Richardson broke the ice midway through the first period, and before The Outsiders could even catch their breath on the bench, Kalea Maxwell tucked in another unassisted marker just 65 seconds later.
The second period featured pure beer league theatrics. Jonathan McCormick showed off the penalty-killing prowess with a clutch shorthanded tally to push his point streak to four games. Ethan Hilton then decided to steal the spotlight: after serving a roughing penalty, Hilton capitalized on the man advantage with a crisp apple from Dylan Calhoun, then potted an even-strength goal just two minutes later for a two-goal performance.
The Outsiders refused to go quietly into the Tulsa night. Alan Dyke answered back in the second off a feed from Cody Dinsmore, and beer league folklore was made when jersey #96—listed officially on the roster as 'Not Signed In'—buried a third-period goal. Dyke added his second of the night with just 20.8 seconds remaining, but the late push wasn't enough to dig out of the hole.
Stars of the Game
🥇 Ethan Hilton (Dirty Danglers) – Two goals and a roughing minor; that's prime power-forward energy.

🥉 Jonathan McCormick (Dirty Danglers) – Scored the shorty to keep his four-game heater rolling.
Penalty Box Report
The sin bin saw steady foot traffic. Cody Dinsmore caught two minutes for high-sticking, Daniel Maxwell sat for hooking, and Ethan Hilton was sent away for a little extra rough stuff. Meanwhile, the elusive #96 'Not Signed In' made sure the scoresheet knew they existed by taking a tripping minor in the second before later lighting the lamp.
At the end of the day, streaks are made to be broken, but locker room camaraderie is forever. Grab your cold beverages, tap your sticks, and remember: you've gotta hate to lose more than you love to win. We go again next week!
