On Friday night the Major Atoms travelled to Essex Arena to face off against the Sun County Panthers. The team, supported by Ethan Langford in net, held the Panthers to only 2 goals in the first period and a half of play but could not keep up the momentum. The Panthers went on to a 9-2 victory with Sting goals by Ethan Kerby assisted by Blake Butler and Blake Butler from Ethan Kerby.

The Major Atoms notched their first victory of the season on Saturday in a re-match against the Kitchener Jr. Rangers.  The Sting came out strong in the first period of play dominating the Rangers.  Ethan Kerby opened the scoring with a power play goal, assisted by Blake Butler and Bailey Moffat.  Tyler Steeves added the Sting’s second goal of the period with a pass from Kaleb Edlington.  In the second period, Blake Butler notched his 2^nd goal for the weekend by pouncing on a rebound from a “blue line clapper” launched by Evan Wammes (also assisted by Wil O’Leary Dilosa).  The Sting held off the Rangers to a scoreless third period and skated to a 3-0 victory with Adam Mino recording his first shut-out of the year.

The team travel to London this weekend for the London Jr. Knights Early Bird Tournament.
