Atom Rep, 2013-2014 (Strathroy Minor Hockey)

The Rockets travelled to the Sarnia area over the weekend to compete in the International Silver Stick against a total of 16 teams. Only two teams coming from a BB center, the rest being "A" centers.  So they knew some good hockey was ahead of them.  The Rockets won all three round robin games which sent them into the quarter finals vs Sarnia.  After a well played game the Rockets exceeded their original goal, of getting to the quarters and beat Sarnia 4-2 to move into the final four. 

A job well done finishing Shamrock League play undefeated.  A record of 16-0-4, with the best Goals Against, allowing only 19 GA in 20 games.  Sitting right now with the best Goals For of 90.  A total team effort is what accomplished this.  Great Work Boys!  Now we jump right into Play downs and International Silver Stick.

   This one day tournament started out with a team relay fastest skater event.  With four teams taking part in the tournament.  They took the 4 fastest individual times from all teams to compete in a final skate off that would take place before the "B" Finals.      The Strathroy Atom Rep Rockets ended up with the quickest overall average of all 4 teams, which resulted in some hardware for the boys.  Bradley Vanheeswyk finished 2nd and Easton Cowan was 3rd out of the top 4 that would go onto the semi finals.

  The Strathroy Atom Rep team was in Alvinston over the holidays, with a goal to make the 'A' Regional Silver Stick Finals. This would be no easy feat as they would have to go through some very strong 'A' and 'BB' teams to get there.

   The Strathroy Jr. Rockets Atom Rep team brought home some hardware from the Capitals Cup Challenge in Leamington this weekend.  Battling through adversity, the boys stayed positive and continued working hard right to the end, where they would be rewarded for their efforts.
