Last game of the season...ready for the play offs!
Put those losses aside and gear up for the playoffs...Our Howick Atoms battled hard against both Listowel Red and Black teams for the last three games of the season, only to come short on all three. 

Although the league stats showed the Listowel Black team tied for third place, this is where the Atoms seemed to play their best games only losing the first one by 2 and the second, today by just 1. Today, completes the season and the kids look to switch gears to move into the playoffs. Hopefully, switching into a gear or two higher!

The Atoms played 18 regular season games on the year averaging a total of 2.7 goals scored per game. In looking at the first half of the season, this average was only at 2 per game. Hard work, positional play, smart plays and always skating hard turned this team around to a build an average of 3.6 goals per game in the second half of the season.

The playoff scheduling meeting takes place Monday Feb 9th at 7:30pm in Wingham where the kids will learn which teams will be in their group for the first round robin play of playoffs, which will then lead them into the Elite group for final round robin championship play.

The atoms will begin to prepare for playoff action by practicing their skills at practice this Tuesday night.
Good Luck kids!! Have fun, play fair, and dig hard!  Let's pot some goals!!
