The Central Plains Junior Capitals weren't able to do much with a two-game homestand last week, dropping both matches to powerhouse Winnipeg teams.

The Winnipeg Hawks got the best of the Caps on Nov. 18 as the clubs traveled to MacGregor, where the Capitals fell 5-2 in a hard-fought game.

Curran Smith had both the goals for the home team that evening. Mitch Wiebe had another solid outing between the pipes, stopping many shots to keep his team in it.

Despite the loss, one of the club's co-coaches Brett Calder was pleased with the team's efforts.

"They're starting to play with a little more intesnsity," he explained of his club's play against the Hawks.

"The D are moving the puck well and the fowards are getting low and helping them out."
