Minor Atom A Blue – Division Champs are off to OMHA Semi Finals
The Whitby Wildcats Minor Atom A Blue team headed into this season with a lot of promise, they always had the hopes of repeating as Division Champions. They understood, however, that it was going to take a lot of hard work, dedication and determination to once again achieve this goal. Well we are all very proud to say that their hopes and dreams came true over this past weekend.


The Minor Atom A Blue Wildcats finished the regular season with a record of 23 – 4 – 1 which earned them a spot at the top of the division in a tie for first place. After taking the first series vs Oshawa in 3 games and then the next round vs a tough Clarington team in 4 games this put us up against a very hard-working team in the Whitby A White team for the division final.

All 5 games went back and forth throughout the whole series with great hockey being played by both sides, the series was very competitive with neither side wanting to give an inch. The series went right down to the wire with both teams taking 2 wins each out of the first 4 games. Game 5 turned out to be a barn-burner and did not start well for A Blue going down early 2 - 0 and then down 4 – 0 going into the 3rd period. But this team never quits with there motto all year being “Never Give Up”. With that in mind the boys came out and scored 4 goals in the final 15 minutes to send the game to OT and it only took Ronan Henry seconds into the OT period (Short Handed) to end the game and give WW A Blue the Division Championship for a second straight season.

We would like to wish the Minor Atom A Blue team continued success as they move onto the OMHA Semi Finals vs Barrie.
