Atom AE Tigers Win In Orangeville
The weekend of September 12-14, 2014, marked the starting point for the 2014-15 Atom AE Aurora Tigers season. With a roster of 15 hard-skating players and two talented goaltenders, the team entered the Orangeville Early Bird Tournament with a coaching staff focused on player development, player instruction, and importantly, fun.
Game #1 ended in a closely-played 2-2 tie with the host team, the Orangeville Flyers. Game #2 featured a strong effort by the Tigers against the Barrie Colts, as the back and forth affair ended with an exciting third period and a full-effort Tigers win, 2-1. In Game #3, the defence stepped up and delivered a strong performance, helping the Tigers to a 6-1 win over Georgina. Game #4 featured a shutout performance, as the team emerged victorious in the semi-final game against Centre Wellington, 4-0. Game #5, the championship game, featured the Tigers vs. the Orangeville Flyers. In what was another strong team performance, the Tiger offence/defence played hard and was supported by solid goaltending, leading to a championship game victory, 3-1.
In the span of 48 hours, the Tigers played five games, never once lacking in effort, focus, or teamwork. The early bird championship is a nice start for the team, and speaking of team, every active roster player has already scored a point this season.
Congratulations are extended to the Atom AE Tigers, families, and team staff. Sincere appreciation is also extended to the Orangeville Tournament sponsors, volunteers, and directors.
