Regular Season[]
Please note: Some scores are undoubtedly missing from the following list. The Durham Chronicle, although a great source of info for both the Huskies and 72's, seemed to post Huskie updates rather sparsely mid-season. This was no doubt due to the lack of interest in 15-0 blowouts against Dundalk and Honeywood. There is also potential, however, that due to the lack of interest in these games that they might have never been played. We can thank the OHA and their boneheaded decision to put two sharks like Shelburne and Durham into the goldfish bowl that was the OHA Intermediate C Loop for 1985-86.
