Atom AE, 2019-2020, U10-11 (Oakville Rangers Hockey Club)

The Atom AE team captured Gold in Belle River this past weekend, coming out on top of 12 other teams from across the province.  A commitment to team defense stifled their opposition along the way as they went a perfect 6-0, surrendering just 3 goals all tournament.  They were a little slow out of the gates in their first game, but found their stride soon after as they carved their path to the championship.  The coaches and parents couldn’t be more proud of their effort this weekend!

Not all wins come on the ice or the scoreboard.  Not all lessons come with chalkboards or during practice.  Sometimes the wins come for hockey players from the life lessons learned outside the arena walls.  On Saturday October 5th one of those lessons occurred just outside the arena walls as it turned out.  Glen Abbey Rec Centre was the host venue for the team’s charity Fun Drive.  The goal was to raise funds and awareness for Safety Net, a local charity helping financially disadvantaged families.
