Atom Reps Bounced in OMHA Playoffs
The Your Neighbourhood Credit Union (YNCU) Meteor Atom Reps were eliminated from OMHA playoffs by Listowel at home on January 31st, dropping a 3-2 decision as Listowel would score the game-winning goal with a little over two minutes remaining in the game.
The locals opened the scoring early in the first period, as Jack Miller would bang in a loose puck in the crease assisted by Ryan Hubbard and Carter O'Brien. Listowel would score the only goal of the second period to tie the game, and then take the lead early in the third period. Bryce Otten would notch the tying goal on a shot from the top of the circle with under three minutes remaining, with assists going to Ryan Klumper and O'Brien. Video replay showed a potential deflection off of Charlie Geiger's foot, but this report is unconfirmed. The heartbreaking winning goal would be scored seconds later to eliminate the Meteors.
The Atom Reps remain in WOAA playoff competition, with the next game on the road in Goderich on Tuesday Feb 6th at 7:00pm.
