Congratulations to Atom Team White on winning their Pool C Championship in The Hockey for Hospice Tournament!
An early 8:00am Semi Final game vs the Tecumseh Yellow Stingers resulted in a win for Team White with yet another shut out for the team's goalie!
This guaranteed our team’s spot in the Pool C finals to compete for the championship vs. the LaSalle Atom Yellow team. It was a well fought game by one and all. White opened up the scoring early and Yellow fought back with a quick goal of their own. The second period was a back and forth battle. Going into the 3rd period it was a nail biting 5-4 for the Yellow team. With only seconds to go, White tied it up 5-5 sending the game into a sudden death 3v3 overtime!
Just minutes into the overtime, a great rush and pass in front of the net by White resulting in the goal which won the game.
Each and every player for Team White and Yellow played hard and with heart. There were great attitudes and smiles before and after every game that weekend. The parents and families of these kids are so proud of them and happy that all their hard work paid off! What an extraordinary group of kids this team is made up of!!
A huge thank you goes out to the coaching staff.
