This past
Saturday the Atom House league
took to the ice once again. The
Grey McAtom team v. McAtom
Black, Orange McAtom v. McAtom
Tan, the Green McAtom team
playing the Gold Wolverines, the
Red McAtom team playing the
Blue. The battles were all hard
fought by the players, although
only half the teams went home
with a victory.
The first game
was played by the Grey Sharks
and the Black Falcons. This game
wasn’t so fortunate for The Grey
Sharks and the game got a little
aggressive. The game started off
smooth as both teams held their
game for the entire period,
neither goalies letting a single
puck fly by them.
Period two picked up the pace
when two goals were scored by
the Black Falcons. Player Noah
Colameco scored the first goal
with an unexpected slap shot
towards the net, the goalie lost
his focus and it flew right
under his legs. The second shot
was a fair assist by Giordano
Troiani and scored by William
Downes. You could see the Grey
Sharks trying to gain some faith
in their game but took a
tripping at a race to the puck.
In period three things only
continued to go downhill for the
Grey Sharks, as power-hungry
Adam Hurst scored a hatrick for
his team landing the score at
5-0. The Grey Sharks skated
heavy and fast to score their
first goal on the Falcons and
finally got their wish. The
first goal for the Sharks was
scored by Connor White, putting
the score at 5 - 1. It was the
Falcons game from then on as
they got two more goals by Liam
Murray and William Downes and
the score concluded to 7 - 1 for
the Falcons. A great effort for
both teams was definitely put
in!
The second game was played by
the Orange Vipers who faced the
Tan Tigers. In the first period
the Tan Tigers took the
spotlight and player Liam
Kershaw scored two goals in a
matter of four minutes to start
off the game! Their only mistake
was in this period of the game
when two players Lily-Rose
Murray was chasing Sasha Taylor
down the ice and to prevent her
goal decided to trip her, giving
herself a penalty. The second
period was introduced with the
Vipers assisted goal scored by
Logan Rogers, putting the score
at 2-1 and leaving the rest of
the period quiet. The third
period started off slow but both
teams got into the game and
fought for victory. However, the
last goal of the game was scored
by the Vipers’ player Tayte
Jennings who actually tied the
game 2-2, and that’s when the
game ended as time ran out! Good
work teams!

The third game at 10am was a
nail biter as the Green team
took on the Gold Wolverines.
Every break away from the
opposing teams was stopped by
both stellar defence lines. Five
minutes into the first period
Noah Griffith got the Green team
up on the scoreboard. The puck
crossed the ice from side to
side and shortly after Titus
Hayes got another one on the
board for the Green team. Going
into the third period 2-0, the
green confidently took the ice
and immediately Noah Griffith
got his second goal. The
Wolverines started to pick up
their pace noticing the clock
running out. Two beautiful back
to back goals by Ayden Sharpe-Gruntz
and Warren Hunt got the Gold
back in the game. Both goals
assisted by Gavin MacKinnon.
With minutes left Noah Griffith
got his third breakaway and
zooming through the defence, he
scored his third for a hat
trick! Winning the game for the
Green team 4-2.
The last game on this Saturday
morning schedule was a more one
sided fight. The Blue team's
offence coming at the Red full
force. In the first period the
Blue team's Simon Frais started
off the game with a unreal
slapshot, getting one up on the
board. Cameron Jackson of the
same team easily winded through
the Red offence shortly after,
scoring the second goal. Simon
Frais got the puck right off the
bat in the second period,
bringing it up the ice and
shooting it into the back
corner. And minutes later he
scored in the hat trick. Trying
to get in the game the Red team
pushes their defence forward, J.
Phillips scoring the last goal
of the game. The final score
4-1.
