Pats and Congrats: CHBA Wings Atom A Win Amherst Bluenose Tournament
It seems like I can't keep up with the accomplishments of our teams, as I get tournament highlights into my inbox every week.
Here is a great little story of two 'tenders that delivered the goods for their team at the Amherst Bluenose Tournament. Jack Howie, second-year Atom vet, and his goalie partner Rylan Schneiderman, a first-year up-and-coming rookie.
The kids had a tough time securing a spot to the elimination round, but an outstanding effort by Jack Howie to tie, 2-2 gave the Atom A's the needed pointed to secure a spot in the finals.
Rylan came out calm and collected to beat Sackville, NB's team 7-0 to win the gold.
Both boys are continuing to perform well throughout the regular season. Jack is a solid goalie with amazing fundamentals. Smaller in stature than most, he understands the game and knows what he has to do to play "big". Rylan is a dynamic and aggressive goalie. With gymnastic-like flexibility and "in-your-face" goaltending style, he knows how to mix it up to keep the opposition shooters guessing.
Way go, coaches and crew!!
