Week 8 Atom Summary!
Week 8 of the 2019/20 season saw the Saputo Atom Rep Titans of Tavistock conclude their Silver Stick tournament in Wingham Ontario.....
What started with Silver Stick dreams ended abruptly in a Silver Stick nightmare. The young Titans had a total of three tournament games over the course of this past week.
Tuesday November 26th had the boys facing off against the Hanover Falcons in a very hard fought, competitive battle. Tavi doubled up the Falcons 4-2 when it was all said and done playing a complete game in all three zones.
Early Saturday morning was a rematch with those same Falcons, but it was the Titans that came out flying in this one, with four unanswered goals. A few hiccups after that, 5-2 Titans was the score at the final buzzer.
A four hour wait and the boys would lace 'em up against the Kincardine Kinucks. Tavistock had an issue staying out of the sin bin during this game allowing eight opportunities for two minutes of silent reflection each. Kincardine made them pay with five power play goals, going 5 for 8 with the extra man. The Kinucks goalie lead their side to the shutout stopping all five of the Titans shots. With the undisciplined nature of their play and the shot drought, the boys ended up dropping this game 8-0, eliminating them from Silver Stick play.
Luckily, you can't keep this team down for long as it was all smiles Saturday night at a team building function sponsored by Vachon.
They're back to league play Tuesday December 3rd in St. George at 7:15pm, when they go into battle against the Generals.
See ya at the rink!
