Atom Red Finishes Season with a BANG!
Atom Red played in the Golden Puck Tournament in Port Colborne this past weekend, to wrap up a great season of hockey.  



Game 1 was Friday afternoon, and we would face Kitchener to start off the tournament.  We came away with a 4-0 victory and we were feeling great going into Saturday where we would play Grimsby in the morning and Port Colborne Green in the afternoon.  With still being on a hockey high from Friday nights win we set our sights on winning another two games and that is exactly what we did!  Over night the Atom Red Juggernaut was born and we would not be stopped once we started rolling.  We rolled over Grimbsy with a 5-0 win and PC Green with a 12-0 win.  During our game against PC Green 3 players from the Atom Red each posted a hat trick and we came away with a bag full of hats.  These 3 wins would find us in the Semi Finals Sunday morning, but not before we would take over the hotel and have a team party celebrating our team and our season.  We played Mariposa in the semi final game.  We battled hard through 3 periods with lots of pressure but not being able to find the net.  Regulation time would expire with a 0-0 game and we were into 4 on 4 for one minute of overtime.  Still scoreless after the first minute we would now have a 1 minute overtime of 3 on 3.  Our defenseman shrugged off a 3 on 1 early in the minute of play before it turned over against Mariposa on a 2 on 1.  With players from Atom Red charging hard to the net to try to seal the deal the Mariposa defenseman commits to the winger going wide to the net.  The centreman with the puck fakes to pass and the goalie shifts and the centreman shoots the puck over the goalie's shoulder for the win!  This sets the stage for a Championship Game Sunday afternoon.  We would be playing Beeton for the Championship Game.  Within the first shift of the game a point is posted for Atom Red...the Juggernaut continues to roll on.  By halfway through the second period Atom Red is up by 4 goals.  Beeton steps up the physical game and begins to battle and bruise the Atom Reds.  Beeton gets on the board with a goal and the game is 4 to 1.  Within minutes Atom keeps their composure and answers back with another goal and continues to pull ahead.  Beeton struggles to find a way to slow down the Juggernaut and inevitably is not able to.  Atom Red and Beeton will exchange another goal each before the game is out and Atom Red will reign victorious with a convincing 6 to 2 win!  

WE ARE CHAMPIONS!  This Tournament Championship was a total team effort by all members of the team as we boasted 4 shut out games in the tournament with only 2 goals against.

Thanks for a great season and an awesome weekend Atom Red, you had the best possible finish to a season a Bench Staff and your Parents could have asked for you to have.
