Atom Gold, U11 (Atom), 2012-2013 (Mt Brydges Minor Hockey)

After 3 hard fought games against a strong St. Marys team the atom gold team is advancing on to the LMLL A series finals.  We played the three games and won them 2-1, 2-1 and 7-0.  The boys continue to play as hard as they can and they continue getting the results.  In the finals we will be facing Aylmer 1, who beat us in the Aylmer tournament over the Christmas holidays.

After a great regular season came to a close on Saturday we now begin the next part of the season with the playoffs.  With a regular season record of 19-0-1 we will be heading into the playoffs as the number 1 team.  This is due to the hardwork and consistent effort given by the entire team everytime they hit the ice.  As a coach I could not ask for more from a team.  The boys always gave 100% and always tried to have fun.  I am looking forward to the playoffs.

The weekend of January 18-20, 2013 proved to be another successful weekend for the Atom Gold Cougars.  After 5 great games and a lot of swimming and team bonding the boys walked away with some more hardware to add to their collection.  We were able to finish the tournament with all the players still on the ice and all of the coaches still on the bench...  In the final game the boys beat the Chicago Hawks by a score of 3-1. 

With the holiday season upon us I want to wish the Atom Gold players and parents a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.  It has been such a great start to the season and I am looking forward to the new year and what this team of amazing players can accomplish during the rest of our season.

This past weekend the Atom Gold team participated in their first tournament of the year in Glencoe.  By the end of the weekend we finished the championship game down four players and 2 coaches but our kids played strong and with a lot of heart to win the championship game in shoot outs.
