BATTALIONS EARN BIRTH TO NATIONAL SILVER STICK
- Submitted by

The Brampton Battalion Minor Atom A team earned a birth into the National Silver Stick Tournament by shutting down the West Humber Sharks 2 to 0 at the finals of the regional qualifier in Vaughn , Ontario Thursday afternoon.

The Battalions came out strong and played well both offensively and defensively throughout the entire game.  The Shark's managed  only 3 shots on Carter Vandergrient who came up with a big save with less than 4 minutes remaining to play in the 3rd period to preserve the shut-out and victory for the Battalion.

All of the scoring took place in the first period with Ryan Hodder opening up the scoring 5 minutes into the game.  Sam Coleman and Lucas Toth drew assists on the goal.  One minute later, Christian Maraconda extended the lead to 2 on a brilliant individual effort breaking through the Sharks defense to score the insurance goal.

After the first to goals, the Battalions did not sit back. They kept pouring on the shots and scoring oportunities, however the Shark's goaltender was determined to keep his team in the game stopping 24 of the 26 shots he faced from the Battalions.    The Battalions threw everything they had at the Sharks.  There were some good clean body checks, solid team passing and lots of spirited skating by all players.

Congratulations go out to all the players for working hard on every shift and applying what they have learned at practices.  Congratulations also go out to the coaching staff for trusting and believing in each player's ability.  Judging by the reaction after the game, all of the kids had fun, and felt that they each played an important part in the tournament win.
