Atom AA battles GTHL AAA team in Montreal Tourney Finals
The Atom AA traveled to Montreal on November 13th - 15th to compete in the Can/AM tournament for a second consecutive year.  

This year the team had the opportunity to compete against the Boston Jr. Terriers, Central Mass Outlaws, Bethlehem, NY Eagles and the Markham Majors (GTHL AAA).   The Tigers played well during the round robin compiling a 3-1 record, with their only loss being an incredibly close game 1-0 to the Majors.  

The Sunday morning finals pitted the Tigers against the Majors once again.   The first period ended 1-0 for the Majors.   The Tigers battled back to tie it, then the Majors pulled ahead 2-1 to start the third period.   Our players never stopped working and keep up the pressure, finally tying up the game, then going ahead 3-2 with minutes left.   Markham pulled their goalie and tied up the game in heartbreaking fashion with only 16 seconds left to send it to overtime.   In the second overtime session, playing 3 on 3, the Majors scored to take the Gold Medal.  

Sincere congratulations to the Tigers players for a terrific effort.   The parents and coaches have certainly witnessed the potential of this team and look forward to the second half of our season.   Onward and upward!!!
