Atom AE, U11 Boys, 2016-2017 (Mitchell Minor Hockey)

The Thompsons Atom AE Meteors played their final game of the season at home against the St. Marys Rock on Thursday night. The boys were looking to avenge a loss suffered to the same team last week and did not disappoint. The Meteors showed strong forechecking and were rewarded with a goal in the final seconds of the first period as Jack Miller knocked in a rebound shot fired in by Jake Crowley at the blue line. 

The Thompsons Atom AE's travelled to Aylmer Sunday afternoon to play the Kincardine Kinucks in the semi-finals of the 10-team tournament. The Kinucks would take advantage of an early power play by scoring a mere 43 seconds into the contest between the two rivals.

A game full of crisp passes, relentless forechecking, positional defence, and timely saves resulted in the Thompsons Atom AE Meteors second consecutive 4-1 win of the day. The victory over the Caledonia Thunder and their previous two games seeded Mitchell 2nd out of 10 teams in the Aylmer tournament after the preliminary round. The Meteors will now get a bye through the quarter-finals and will await a semi-final opponent Sunday afternoon at 1:30pm.

In their second game of the Aylmer AE Tournament, the Thompson's Atom AE Meteors played a strong game and came away with 4-1 victory over the Ilderton Jets. The Meteors would take an early lead on a goal from the slot by Jack Miller after a pass right to his stick by Ryan Hubbard.  

The Thompson's Atom AE Meteors played their first game of the Alymer AE Tournament on Friday afternoon against the Ingersol Express. The Meteors opened strong with good speed and passing from the drop of the puck. Brayden Glauser would get the Meteors on the board early after he was able to tap in a perfect pass in front of the net by Jaxen Hartwig. Just 25 seconds later, Glauser would knock in his second goal on the same shift to give the Meteors an early 2-0 lead.
