Atom House League
Report – Saturday Oct. 4/14
Three hard fought
games were played in another
great week of Atom House League
hockey action. This week saw
McDonald’s Black take on Orange,
while McDonald’s Red faced off
against Teal, and McDonald’s
White played Gold.
In the early morning 9:00 game,
we saw both McDonald’s Black and
McDonald’s Orange play a very
fast-paced, exciting hockey
game. Nash Little plotted
Orange’s first tally only twenty
seconds into the first period,
but not to be outdone by Black’s
own Noah Griffith who responded
with an unassisted goal to tie
the game at one apiece. After
Black had taken the early lead
2-1, each team scored one more
goal within the last two minutes
of the first period making the
score 3-2 after the first ten
minutes of play. Black carried
their momentum into the second
period and added to their goal
column to make the score 4-2
with a nice goal from Owen
Pereira. Heading into the third
period both teams displayed
tremendous hustle as Black added
another goal that was set up
with a nice assist from Charlie
Kerwin. In the final minute of
play, Orange was pushing to
bridge the gap as they scored
one final goal to close the game
scored by Sasha Taylor. The
final score of the game was 5-3
in favour of the Black team.
In the middle game was a
high-scoring, high-energy game
played by McDonald’s Red versus
Teal. Jack Hogan opened the
scoring midway through the
opening frame with an unassisted
goal. Red would score another
goal before Owen Kahoe of the
Teal team would respond with a
goal of his own. Heading into
the second period, Red carried
their momentum with four goals
scored by four different players
respectively. Teal would also
tally on one more goal in the
period to make it a 6-2 game
heading into the final stanza.
The third period seemed to be a
very tight, evenly matched
battle as Red managed to kill of
their minor penalty without
allowing Teal to score on the
power play. Each team fought to
score two more goals each to
finish the final frame. Red took
the victory in a 8-4 victory
over Teal.
In the final game of the morning
was McDonald’s White against
Gold. Liam Fogel opened the
scoring the first period for
White with a nice unassisted
goal just over a minute into the
period. White continued to push
hard through the first as Kyle
Moore plotted one more to end
the first period. In the second
period Gold pushed hard to come
back but the hustle from the
White team could not be outdone
as Moore scored two more goals
to attain the natural hat trick.
The third and final period of
the game saw White score two
more goals to make the score
6-0. In the final eight minutes
of the game, Gold was showing
off their defensive skills by
stopping White’s every last
opportunity. White’s goaltending
remained solid throughout the
duration of the match as White
took home the 6-0 shutout to
close out the day.
With three more games in the
books, we end another fun,
competitive week in McDonald’s
Sarnia Atom House League hockey.
