Atom LL2, 2009-2010 (Kincardine Minor Hockey Association)

On Tuesday March 16, the Meridian squad entered the Tiverton Atom tournament.

After a disappointing loss to Normanby, the LL#2 team came out Sunday to play Kincardine LL#1 in Tiverton. At the first drop of the puck LL#2 let LL#1 remember who they were playing against.  The play was quick and passes were as accurate as any you would see from an Atom team.  But even though they were playing like a young NHL team they just couldn’t seem to scrape up enough to account for a first period goal.

After a disappointing loss on Saturday to Normanby in a game that the kids felt sure would be their first win, the coaches and parents took the Kincardine Atom LL#2 to Owen Sound for dinner and to watch the Owen Sound Attack take on the Kitchener Rangers for a little team bonding. This must have sparked the LL#2 team because in Sundays game, they came out firing on all cylinders (8cyls not the little 4 cyls).

On Saturday Feb 20, Kincardine Atom LL#2 played host to Normanby and WOW what a game. From the very first puck drop it was action, action, action. Coach Dave put out line after line of nothing but talent. The boys and girls gelled as a team to put on a display of possibly one of the best games they played this year.

Picking up from the last game on Friday night a rematch between Kincardine and Tiverton ensued. With a look for equalizing the play off home and home stand series in the eyes of the Kincardine team they took the ice. Once play began it was end to end action with skilled passes by all forwards, unbelievable defensive stops with break out passes and great saves by the Kincardine goalie.
