Game 12 - 15
Article written by Heather Dobransky

Windsor's Atom Minor AA team has been really busy over the last two weeks between regular season games and  tournament play. Game 12 saw the Junior Spitfires battle it out against the Essex Ravens.  The Ravens took the game with a win of 6-1.  Then the team was off to Pittsburgh. The kids did not win the tournament but they impressed us all with how hard they played and their ability to hold their own against kids that were a year older then them.  The boys showed tremendous teamwork and improvement in the way they played the game. 

The Atom Minor AA team returned to Windsor and played against the Lasalle Sabres as part of the Huron Cup. This game was amazing! The game was back to back goals and just when Windsor thought they had the win,  Lasalle scored a goal with only 21 seconds left on the clock.  The final score was 4-4. Again, it wasn't a win but when you consider the fact that Windsor was defeated by Lasalle 8-2 the last time they faced off, Windsor was victorious that night!  
On Saturday afternoon the kids battled the Amherstburg Stars.  This was definitely one of Windsor's best games to date.  Windsor played hard and kept the fans entertained. Amherstburg just wouldn't let the Spits have the win and ended up defeating Windsor by a score of 5-4.  Windsor returned to Chatham on Sunday to play against the Kent Cobras on their gigantic, college sized ice rink!  Unfortunately Windsor did not fair as well against the Cobras and lost the game 6-0. 

As a parent it is so nice to see that all of the kids hard work is paying off. Clearly not every game is as successful as we would like but the kids are having a great time and that's all that matters! 

Thanks again to the coaching staff for your hard work, commitment, and patience with this inspiring group of young athletes!!!
