Minto Atom Reps - OMHA Finalists!
The Mad Dogs took their 21 game unbeaten streak into the OMHA finals against the Lucan Irish.

The Mad Dogs served notice that they came to play earning a 4-2 victory in Game #1.  Lucan played a very physical game and made regular trips to the box throughout the 4 game series.  Minto took advantage of these penalties in the 3rd period scoring on a 5 on 3 power play to take the lead 3-2, then added one more insurance goal late in the period.  Goal scorers were Parker Miller (2), Logan Wanless and Brodie Hoffele.  Assists went to Lucas Oxford (2), Reid Lobsinger, Leah Herrfort and Cody Camm.

Game 2 was in front of an amazing home town crowd.  This was a close game but ended with a 3-2 Minto loss.  Both teams battled hard, but Minto seemed to run out of steam in the 3rd period.  Goal scorers were Brett Zabel and Parker Miller with assists going to Cody Camm and Brodie Hoffele.

Game 3 in Lucan saw Minto lose by a score of 4-1.  Lucan played a very physical game with body contact being the norm along with two very questionable head shots not suited for any league, let alone atom hockey.  One beautiful goal came in the 3rd period on Leah Herrfort’s hard point shot that was tipped in by Brett Zabel.

Game 4 was in Harriston.  Minto brought another hard fought effort and came back to tie the game at two after being down 2-0.  Lucan would score in OT to end Minto's hopes for the championship.  Goals for the game came from Lucas Oxford and Brodie Hoffele with assists going to Reid Lobsinger, Parker Miller, Cody Camm and Brett Zabel.  All players showed their work ethic throughout the year and during this run for the OMHA championship.  Minto's goalies played incredible all year, great job Trevor and Drew!!

The hard working Atoms have demonstrated that they can play with the best and have racked up a list of accomplishments this year including:
Aylmer Flames Tournament Champions
Wingham Silver Stick Finalists
Minto Minor Hockey Tournament Champions
WOAA ‘C’ Champions
OMHA ‘C’ Finalists.
Congratulations to the Mad Dogs for being the first team in Minto history to make it to the finals of the OMHA!!  Your coaches and parents are all very proud of you!!

The Mad Dogs will now compete for the WOAA ‘Cruikshank’ Grand Championship starting this Wednesday, March 23rd in Harriston.  The series will see the OMHA ‘C’ Finalists face off against the OMHA ‘B’ Semi-Finalist Walkerton Capitals in what should be a great 2 out of 3 series.  Games two and three will be played in Walkerton next Tuesday and Friday.

The atom reps will also travel to Baltimore, Ontario this weekend to play in their final tournament of the year, the Cross Border Clash.
