Our boys suffered there first loss of the season this past weekend. There legs and efforts just didn't have enough spark to get the job done. The first and second period didn't look pretty and we started the 3rd down 4-1.  they came alive last half of 3 rd and got it back to 4-3.  even with a flurry of chances in the last minute it still wasn't good enough to beat Mooretowns goalie. But on the positive side this is a step forward in our team building process and the boys realize what happens when you don't give 100% every shift. 
Quote of the game was brought by Curtis Lalich " after each game, I want to be able to say: I gave it all I could, I gave it my best" 
A very fitting quote for coach bobs post game talk. 

The atom AE boys rolled into Dorchester on Sunday and after a tough battle we came home with the win. Richardson banged home the first Gino after going to the net hard, dorchester made it 1-1 then Thuss got the go ahead goal and game winner on a beauty pass from pascoa. Some good battles from the forwards and our D were pretty solid and came through when we needed them. Play of the game goes to Mackey with a key shot block late in the game while under pressue in our end. Again Goulart comes  through big with few great saves. All around great effort by all. 
Quote of the game from Noah Kostesku : coming together is a beginning, keeping together is progress, working together is success.

The boys are off to a 3-0 start and have played pretty good to start the season. A good game against petrolia last Saturday challenged the boys as a team and gave them a vision of what's  to come. "Do the little things and win the little battles" said coach Bob. 

game quote was brought and  presented by Lucas Goulart : "winning is not a sometime thing, it is an all the time thing. You don't do things right once In awhile... You do them right all the time.
