Weekend Round-Up
The Stratford Warriors Holloway Automotive Minor Atoms split their weekend games in Seeded league play against two teams ahead of them in the standings.
On Saturday, the Warriors played the Kitchener Jr. Rangers and left with a 5-0 loss, although the score was not indicative of the game. Both teams played equally well throughout the game, with Kitchener finishing their chances and the Warriors struggling to get a puck past a solid Kitchener netminder.
On Sunday, the Warriors were able to get their offensive game clicking and won the game with a 6-4 final over the St. Thomas Jr. Stars. Persistent offensive opportunities, solid puck movement, and timely saves by goalie Noah Campbell proved to be the difference in the contest as the Warriors leaped past the Stars in the standings and now hold down the fourth spot in the 13 team league. Solid offensive contributions from Dan Van Straaten and Avery Thurston, along with an overall quality effort from winger Kaden Brame helped lead the Warriors to victory.
