Oilers downed by Southpoint!
The Atom Rep Oilers versed the Southpoint Capitals Major Atoms on Saturday in exhibition play at the Petrolia barn.
The boys came out confident after a big win against Sarnia earlier in the week. The confidence quickly disappeared after the Caps pounded out 3 goals in the first.
The boys quickly regrouped after the period when the coaching staff instructed the boys not to quit. The boys took the advice and came back with 3 unanswered goals in the second.
With the game tied heading into the final frame the Oilers ran out of gas and gave up 4. It was a period we would all like to forget. Despite the Oilers out shooting the Capitals, they came across 2 solid net minders.
The game final was Caps 7, Oilers 4.
