Atom Rep, U11, 2012-2013 (Elmvale Minor Hockey)

The Lions Club Atom team played the Gananoque Islanders in the OMHA Atom B semifinals.  Although the Coyotes had never played them this season the team was familiar with many of their players.  Most of these boys had played against each other in the Novice final two years ago.  Gananoque had played a tight series back then and this one promised to be just as close.  Even though Elmvale lost the coin toss the first game was played in Elmvale on Friday March 1st.

The Lions Club Atom team resumed their season schedule on November 23rd after a second place finish in the Doug Robinson tournament in Lincoln.  Since then, the boys have played ten games over a three week period.  Over that span the team has outscored its opponents by a mind boggling 51-4.  The boys have put out teams from Stayner, Collingwood, Penetang, Midland, Wasaga Beach and Shelburne. The Coyotes continue to lead the league standings and with only three games remaining their magic number to clinch top spot sits at two.

The Lions Club Atom Rep team entered their second tournament this past weekend.  The boys travelled south to Beamsville to the annual Doug Robinson tournament.  The team got a favourable schedule that required them to start the tournament at 6:00 pm Friday evening.  They enjoyed the sunshine on their way down the QEW as they prepared for the game that night.

The Elmvale Lions Club Atom Rep Team has played a third of their season schedule so far.  They have faced some tough competition and most of the games have been nailbiters.  Through it all, the boys have been able to compile a 4-0-2 record.  After a long drive to Shelburne which resulted in a tie and a hard practice on Wednesday, the boys were itching to get back at it.
