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

Their first opponents would be the TCDMHA Rebels.  After a frustrating game where nothing would go right for Kincardine, the Kinucks found themselves losing to the Rebels for the first time this season by a score of 2-0.  The girls quickly gathered themselves and got ready to face the Grey Highland Shooting Stars. 

It was fresh in their minds the last time they had played this team in December and the loss of that previous game was still stinging.  With determination, the girls made a commitment to themselves to win by a five goal lead.  The result of a win of that magnitude would mean that die-hard Habs fan coach Manny Pagé would wear a Leafs jersey during their next practice.  Motivation was high for the girls to pull off their personal goal.

The air was thick with tension as the Canadian Tire Kincardine Kinucks Atom Girls rep team hit the ice against the West-Grey Girls rep team.  The first four minutes saw no action at all and fans in the stands started getting concerned.  There was a collective sigh of relief when Georgia Tanner knocked the puck free from the opposition at four minutes into the first period, skated it away from the pack following her and lifted it over the goalie to send it flying into the twine.  Score was 1-0 for Kincardine.
