Atom Blue, Atom, 2017-2018 (Durham Crusaders Hockey)

What a great weekend. The boys battled hard on Sunday to take home the gold. After shaking off the cob webs in the first game against a feisty Innisfil team we managed a 3-0 win. We then over powered the Aylmer black team by an 8-4 score. The last game of the round robin pitted us in a rematch from last year's Bob Black tournament against a very willing Strathroy team but the blue team prevailed 7-2 in the end. Sunday would see the boys battle hard to a couple 3-1 wins. We have now qualified to compete in the Silver Stick Finals in Pelham Ontario during the weekend of January 11 to 14th. Details to follow. It was a tough battle with the hometown Aylmer Flames in the finals but the boys came back from being down 1-0 to win 3-1. The 1-0 deficit was the only time they trailed all tournament. 5 straight wins against some tough competition is a lot to be proud of and the boys earned it. Great Job Crusaders!
