Minor Atom Rep Warriors Take Lead in Championship Series
The Holloway Automotive Minor Atom Rep Warriors are now sitting at 4 points of the 8 points needed to win the Championship series.

In Game #2 a shorthanded Warriors team travelled to London for another battle last Saturday.  The Knights struck first, sliding one in past Brenden Sippel mid-way through the first.  Moments later Colin Schultz tied the game unassisted.  The Knights closed out the first period with a power play goal to go up 2-1.  London grabbed two more goals by the start of the third period but Schultz put the Warriors within 2, assisted by Colin Slattery.  Unfortunately, the Warriors didn’t have enough left in the tank to fight back and dropped the second game of the series 5-2.


Game #3 saw a renewed Warrior team hit the ice looking for revenge.  A slow start in the first period kept both team scrambling and neither able to score.  London Knights struck first nabbing their first goal just as their powerplay was coming to an end.  Stratford fought back with Colin Schultz walking in and tying the game, assisted by Slattery and Nathan Siebert.  The Warriors took a brief lead when Aaron Green rifled one from the point and Schultz tipped it in making it 2-1.  London continued to press and tied the game at the four minute mark in the second period.  In the third period, London grabbed the lead forcing the Warriors to fight hard for the tying goal again.  That goal finally came with 6 mins remaining in the game from Blair Stokes, assisted by Blake Hodgson and Siebert.  With minutes left Slattery delivered the critical go ahead goal, assisted by Green, giving Stratford the 4-3 win.  Goalie Aidan Hill was outstanding in net for the Warriors!
