West London Tournament Champions!!
The Major Atom Mustangs had an exciting weekend!



We started off Friday with a big 8-1 win on the big ice at the fairgrounds. Friday night they were in tough against a good team out of the States. It was a back and fourth affair for the first half of the game, but our cycle game managed to wear down their defence and they prevailed with a big 4-2 victory. Saturday afternoon was the final game of the round robin. The Mustangs were down early in each of the first two periods against a good Leaside team. They managed to battle back each time and go ahead for good in the third, winning 3-2 securing first place heading into the semi finals.

The semi finals featured a rematch of our first game, except this time Burlington was not going to go down easy. They battled hard holding a 3-2 lead with less than 3 minutes left in the game. However, our Mustangs would not go down without a fight. We never gave up and managed to put 2 goals by a fantastic Burlington net minder in the final minutes to secure a 4-3 win and a berth in the finals.

Despite it being our 5th game in a little more than 48 hours, the Mustangs were not going to be denied. They executed our game plan perfectly and dominated a great Leaside team from start to finish. When the final buzzer went the Mustangs were on top 3-0 and Tournament Champs!

The coaching staff are extremely proud of all 17 players and their efforts this past weekend. It will be a great building block as we head into the final couple weeks of the regular season. I look forward to seeing how much higher this team can go.

Go Mustangs Go!

Coach Matt
