This past Saturday the atom house
league took the ice, playing eight great games of true Canadian
hockey. Typically it is 4 games – but on this weekend each of the 8
teams played 2 games – 1 in the morning and 1 in the afternoon.
In the morning contests it was McDonald’s Blue facing off against
McAtom Tan, McAtom Grey battling the Gold, McAtom Red playing the
Black, and finally the McAtom Orange taking on the McAtom Green.
The first game was hard fought, and both goalies worked hard to keep
the pucks shot at them from going in. Two goals were scored by the
red team in the first ten minutes of the game, quickly setting the
pace of the game. William Levi and Simon Frais both found the back
of the net. Frais found it quickly again before the end of the
second period. Where his teammate Nik Ptushkin also shot in a
beautiful goal with the help of Cameron Jackson and Charlie Kerwin
at his side. In the third period the Tan started to make a comeback
scoring 2 goals in the first 3 minutes. Gavin Griffith and Liam
Kershaw celebrated as the crowd went wild, happy they finally got on
the board. The celebration was short lived as red shot in their
final goal making it a hatrick for Simon Frais. Sean Patson scored
the final goal of the game for the tan team. Very exciting game,
played well by both teams. The final score was 5-3 for the blue
team.
The second game was a hard loss for the Gold team this week. It was
a shutout, 6-0 for their opponents on the Grey team. Although Owen
Labrash played a great first period with beautiful saves, he seemed
to let them all by him in the second and third. Voisey and Stasso
both brought in a point for the Grey early in the second period,
followed by four other goals in the third. Scored by: White,
Boere,Gray and Morningstar. Unfortunately the Gold ran out of time
before they made it on the board.
Next up was the Red team facing the Black. Opening up the game with
an unreal goal was Jacob Philips of the Red, followed seconds later
by another from Hudson Murray of the opposing team. Jacob quickly
turned the puck back around and with the help of his linesmen Chase
Rogers, he got the puck back in the net. The Black team wasted very
little time in the second period. Oliver Krawetz scoring in the
first couple of minutes. But not soon after the Red team got their
second wind. Jacob Phillips flew across the ice with the puck and
passed it to Carson Whitlock who then shot it in. The puck flew back
and forth, until the black team's Noah Calameco took a shot and got
it in, tying the game. The third period had two early goals from
each of the opposing teams. First, one by Carson Melville of the
black team and minutes later a goal from Matthew Parsons of the red
team. The game ended up a tie 4-4 as the final score.
The last game of the day was a fiery match between the Orange and
Green teams. Right off the bat the Orange team took the lead, Tayte
Jennings took a brilliant shot as he glided across the ice. Then the
second period got taken over by the Green team, the goalie not
letting anything in for the Orange. The Green offence including,
Zachary Little, Jacob Murphy and Jiri Watson managed to get three
goals in on the Orange team's goalie. The same followed for the
third period, the Green offence stayed on top for majority of the
time. Jake White scored both considerably impressive goals in a
matter of minutes. In the last few minutes of the game Chris Caron
took the puck away from the Green team and went on a break away,
igniting a fire in the stands. He shoots and scores, but seconds
later the clock ran out, giving the Green team the win. The final
score was 5-2
Atom House League Week 6
November 21st

Sunday afternoon of November 15th saw four intense Atom House League
hockey games played in the second half of Saturday’s doubleheader
schedule of games.
The first game started off fierce as the Red Devils faced the Orange
Vipers and within the first five minutes of the game, the Red Devils
Braeden MacLean practically burglarized the puck from from Orange
Vipers player Dwayne Hendries and had a smooth breakaway down the
ice where the puck met the back of the Vipers’ net in one quick
shot, bringing his team score one ahead of the opponents. The Orange
Vipers revenge took place shortly after when players Justin Grey and
Jakob Thomas got a hold of the puck and passed it to each other down
the ice, making a firm assisted shot evening out the scores. In the
second period the teams both went skate to skate eagerly chasing
that puck around when finally the Red Devils player Tayte Jennings
dekes out not one, but three of the Orange Vipers players and took a
risky shot from the slot; a prime scoring area located between the
faceoff circles and in front of the goal, putting his team one more
point ahead! The final frame was action-packed as the Red Devils
showed the Orange Vipers who brought their game. Four more goals
were made by the Red devils from players Braeden MacLean, two by
Jacob Guildolin and the last by Caiden Davison. The Orange Vipers,
unable to keep up, scored their last goal by Chelsea Wheeler,
officialising the score to end at 6-2.
Next up was The Green Gladiators versus The Black Falcons in a nerve
racking match. The Black Falcons spread their wings and opened up
the game in first period, putting their fans in the stands hands in
the air with a killer assist. The puck looked glued to Rawana Ajah’s
stick until it was passed quick and steadily to Noah Colameco who
slap shot it into the net. Soon afterwards the puck found its way
into The Green Gladiators net again when Zach Mcewan drove it right
into the back, putting the score at 0-2. No more goals were made
until the third period when things started getting heavy. The Black
Falcons clawed their way to victory with some very coordinated stick
handling and smooth passing, and they managed to score two more
goals quick and easy, the first by player Oliver Krawetz and the
last being another great assist by Caleb Mcarthur and scored by Zach
Mcewan. The Green Gladiators fought hard to keep up but just
couldn't quite make a win for they scored their first and only goal
in the final frame. A stellar assist made by Jordan Watson and
scored by Nick Griffill gave the Gladiators a true sense of spirit.
The game ended on these terms and the score concluded to be 1-4 for
The Black Falcons.
The ice was then taken by The Grey Sharks and The Blue All Stars.
The game started off slow with both teams going back and forth and
keeping the puck out of both nets. The first goal was made in the
second period when Brad Boere took a fine pass from Nash Stasso and
took a hard shot that went right between the All Stars goalies legs,
putting the score at 1-0 for the rest of the period. The third
period started to get personal when The Blue All Stars got a hold of
the puck from the beginning and a goal is scored by Simon Frais
tying the game, but not for long. The Grey Sharks players Justin
Verslype and Adam Voisey worked together down the ice passing back
and forth when out of nowhere an All Stars player Bren Holt comes
charging through and trips Verslype, landing himself a penalty.
Luckily the puck made it to Voisey who got up close to the net, and
deked out the goalie to set the score to 2-1. The last goal was a
third assist by Nash Stasso and Cameron White for The Grey Sharks,
winning the game with a score of 3-0.
The last game was very intense played by The Gold Eagles and The Tan
Tigers. The first period was owned by the Tan Tigers who scored two
goals within the first three minutes, which were both assists. The
first goal was a pass by Bryce Morgan and scored by Sean Patson, the
second was a pass by Gavin Griffin and scored by Liam Kershaw,
putting the score at 0-2. The Gold Eagles came back easily in the
second period scoring another assist passed by Gage Klyne, and
scored by Kaydence Labrash. Unfortunately, when The Tan Tigers
player Liam Kershaw then got a hold of the puck, Gage Klyne tripped
him and landed himself a penalty. However, this did not stop Kershaw
as he quickly recovered from his fall, regaining possession of the
puck and scoring another goal putting the score at 3 - 1.
This did not last long however, there was a great team effort by The
Golden Eagles when Troy Benner passed to Gavin MacKinnon who passed
to Ayden Sharpe-Gruntz who got the goal, setting the score to 3 - 2!
The Tan Tigers were not having it though, Mark Pack steals the puck
and mid break away, Gage Klyne who's back in the game soars in and
hooks his skate, giving himself yet another penalty. Gage Klynes
ferociousness doesn’t phase these Tigers though. Mark Pack slides
the puck to James Moffat who slings the puck right to the back of
The Gold Eagles’ nest, in other words, he scores The Tan Tigers
another goal. In the final period with the score reading 2-4, The
Gold Eagles skate hard to avenge their points. A goal is scored by
the Eagles players Damien Auben who passed it to scorer Gage Klyne.
Even though they were winning, The Tan Tigers couldn’t slow down.
With the help of his teammates James Moffat scores his second goal,
and Gavin Griffin scores his own. At 6 - 3 with only minutes left on
the clock the final goal was scored by Sharpe-Gruntz again, ending
the game with a score of 6 - 4. Good work teams!
