Atom Rep, 2012-2013 (Kincardine Minor Hockey Association)

The Canadian Tire Atom Kinucks played 4 awesome games over the past week and ended with 2 victories in a home and home play-off series with the AEMHA Ice Dogs. Last Wednesday, the Kinucks played the Ripley Wolves in an exhibition match in Ripley. A hard fought game was played by all and great goaltending was exhibited by both Ryan Wheeler and Trent Courtney in a 1-1 tie. Scoring for the Kinucks was Wilson Shipp from Ethan Petrie and Jordan Beisel

The Kincardine Canadian Tire Atom Kinucks visited Port Elgin for a WOAA Lockridge division playoff game on Saturday against the Saugeen Shores Storm.  Coming off a great home win against the TCDMHA Rebels and a win against the Shallow Lake Lakers in exhibition play, the Kinucks were feeling confident they could even the home and home series with the Storm.

With the possibility of an elimination hovering above their heads, the Canadian Tire Atoms were a very determined team on the afternoon of Saturday January 19th and knew they wanted the opportunity to play game four (of the 6-point series) in Listowel on Sunday afternoon. 

The Kincardine Canadian Tire Atom Kinucks started the OMHA playoffs after wrapping up regular season play last week with back to back wins over the North Bruce Predators and Saugeen Shores Storm.   Jordan Beisel was a force in the 5-1 win over the Predators scoring a hat trick and adding an assist.  The other goal scorers were blue-liner Kaleb Smith and winger Wilson Shipp.  The Saugeen Shores game was a close match but hard work and some timely saves put the Kinucks in the win column 3-1 with goals coming from Beisel, Shipp and Nolan MacKinnon.

The Kincardine Canadian Tire Atom Kinucks were in action Thursday night in an exhibition game against the Ripley Wolves at the Davidson Centre.
