Hornets end the year with HUGE win!
The Minor Atom Hornets ended the year in fine fashion against the Brampton Snipers with a huge 4-2 win. The hornets out played Brampton in every end of the ice outshooting Brampton 25-6. Our Defense was the best it has been all year making quick dedcisions and outworking our opponent on just about every shift. Our offense was quick to the puck and never missed an opportunity to shoot.

The night started with our team telling jokes in the dressing room, laughing and truly being a team. Zach Braga stood in front of his entire team just before hitting the ice and gave a great speech to his team. "We can do this!". The team hit the ice and even though we were scored on first the Hornet spirit never quit. Every line contributed to our win. Very strong goaltending from Martina & Logan, Our Defence looked organized and commited to game plan with Johnny, Zach, Mason, Jeffery, Nicholas & Ethan having there best performance of the season. Our forward lines out worked our competition and were rewarded when we scored 3 goals in the second period! With 7 different kids on the score sheet it really was a team effort! Eric,Alex,Connor,Janson, Dylan,Ben,Caleb,Luke & Eric M looked unstoppable.

The team wrapped up the night at Boston Pizza with laughs, pizza, and gift exchange. All possible because of our amazing group of volunteers and amazing parents.
