Atom LL#1 Wildcats Bounce Back with 5-2 Win!
After suffering their first lost to New Hamburg #2, the LL#1 Cats defeat their hometown LL#3 rivals 5-2

After our last web post, the LL#1 Wildcats visited the Wilmot Rec complex on Oct 27th and suffered their first loss. It was a tight game with a lot of end to end action but the team had trouble solving the tall Huskies goalie and fell 5-2. Jonah Schmidt had the 2 goals and Zion Shadd and Caleb Antonello picked up assists. Because of his tenacious attitude and success at both ends of the ice, Jonah took home the golden jersey.

Fast forward one week, and the LL#1 Wildcats were hungry to get back in the Win column against LL#3.

After jumping out to a 2-0 lead on goals by Zion and Caleb, we let the LL#3 Wildcats back in the game and they tied it up early in the third. The boys in green dug in their heels though and Jonah snuck one through the 5 hole to put us ahead by one. Minutes later, Cooper Jones would score his first goal by tapping in his own rebound (looking like he had done it a hundred times before!)

Carson Zinger found himself in the box with 4 minutes left in the game after a collision on a gritty hockey play while trying to hold the puck in at our opponents blue line. Austin and Emmet were a brick wall on defence for the duration of the penalty kill, turning back wave after wave as LL#3 tried to even the score.

Jonah would add a late "bar-down" insurance marker and Kelan set the arena on fire with a diving glove save that we will surely see on TSN later tonight. 

Fantastic effort by each kid on the ice today. We are turning some heads in the GRLL - Keep it up boys!!

Golden Jersey:
Cooper Jones took the lessons from Tuesday's practice and fired home a goal on his own rebound. He helped out defensively in our own end, and worked hard in the corners on offence which also earned him an assist on Caleb Antonello's rebound goal as well. Great work Cooper!
