Black Bounces Back in Round One
The Atom division's Team Black came out with gritty determination against the Red squad yesterday morning at Tony Rose A rink. This was a pretty special effort, coming back from a tough 2:1 defeat just one week ago, but Black came to play.

"Speed, pressure, compete, and control" was the mission going into the playoffs and Black executed with surgical precision keeping Red in their own zone for much of the game. That same drive that compelled them to work so hard in the offensive zone was further showcased with stellar defensive play and tremendous backchecking. Wagstaff continued to come up big with steady and acrobatic saves that thrilled the crowd and filled his team with great confidence.

Right winger Owen Young again came on strong with another top-notch two goal game and the rest of the forwards peppered the Red goalie with shot after shot after shot. Marks, Frew, Kalnay, and Rideout proved that strong defense is the cornerstone for success and that they are a force to be reckoned with.

The playoffs continue with round two next Sunday at 10am against the always tough Team Green.

Go Black Go!!!
