Team sporting a "J" to Honour Jasmine
The Cuneo Atoms took to the ice wearing a "J" on their left arm and with orange tape on their sticks to honour Jasmine Rutledge, a great sister and fan that we lost this past week.
The Hanover Falcons brought their "A" game and our boys answered with our "J" game. Matt and the Hanover goalie were covering the net well, but it remained scoreless in the first period. Dom proved a big help defensively by clearing the puck at crucial times throughout the game.
Jackson and Tyson kept the puck in the offensive zone but we were not able to score till 3 minutes left in the 2nd period. Colton broke away with a sharp pass from Chris and sent a hard shot to make it 1-0 but Hanover got the puck back and scored 2 quick goals to end the period.
Ben started off the third period with a great pass up to Colton who then scored his second of the night to tie the game up at 2. Hanover answered back to take the lead but Owen scored off of a sharp pass from Darren to even the score once again. Hanover kept the pressure on and managed to take the lead again but Bryce got by their defencemen and scored to make it 4 all. Keegan and Curtis took hard shots at the net but weren't able to get it past the goalie then Owen popped it in off of the rebound for us to take the lead. But with 6 attackers out we aren't able to get the puck out of our end and Hanover ties it up once again to end the game at 5-5.
With two games left in regular season the boys are sitting at 6-6-4.
