Atom Tri-County, U11 - "Atom", 2014-2015 (Petrolia Minor Hockey)

The Petrolia Atom TC Oilers bring home the local league championship victory at International Silver Stick with a 1-0 win in double overtime with a goal from Travis Wolfgram. Peyton Cudney blocked a penalty shot to defend his shut-out championship game. An extreme team effort and great parental support throughout the weekend kept the boys focused and strong in their efforts against strong competitors, Strathroy Jr Rocket. The boys were celebrated in a parade through Petrolia on Monday night. In June the International Silver Stick plaque will be placed in the hockey hall of fame declaring the Petrolia Oilers as the inaugural victors!

The coaching staff selected the "Bradford Blue & Gold Classic Tournament", which they knew would be a challenging round robin for the Oilers to surpass. They had not planned to be moved into the major division and face only Ottawa and GTA teams... but the boys would not be discouraged. They played with all they had- heart and soul. They used every ounce of energy on the ice to battle to the finals. It was no small feat for the team to face the Oakville Flyers in the semis and later that day rally to battle the Oakville Storm. Although the boys were clearly disappointed to suffer their first loss after such valiant efforts, the coaches and parents could not have been prouder!  Read More

With the Oiler boys gearing up for the Bradford tournament this weekend, business needed to be taken care of first at home against the visiting Southwest Bullets. It didn't take the Oilers long with 3 goals in the first 1:30 of the game. With all cylinders running the Oilers attack was more than the Bullets could handle. The Oilers exploded with a 17-3 win. Good job boys. The Oilers are now off to the Bradford tournament where they will see 2 opponents from Ottawa and 1 from Oakville. Crowd attendance 115. Wesley Williams earned the hardest working slushie award.
