Minor Atom - South '04, 2014 (Maitland PEP Ice Sharks AAA Spring Hockey)

The 04 South squad traveled to Collingwood June 6-8th weekend for their final tournament of the spring.  Having won gold in this tournament the last two seasons, they were looking for the 3-peat.  Coming off the gold medal win in Sarnia, the boys were excited about their last weekend of the spring in Collingwood, and not just for the hockey.  The accommodations for the weekend were 2 chalets at Blue Mountain side by side where the majority of the team were staying.  It was baseball, soccer, football and mini sticks all weekend with 5 hockey games thrown into the mix.

After a silver medal performance in Stratford, the Ice Sharks came up with a very strong defensive weekend of hockey in Sarnia to capture the Bluewater Championship. We have been really pushing the boys to play defence first hockey, minimizing quality shots against, getting pucks deep and not turning pucks over at the bluelines. This weekend they bought in, and with some great goaltending from Troy Coultes allowed only 5 goals against in 5 games.

With 4 new faces in the line up, and a great Coach leading our practices, the '04 South team is preparing for their first tournament May 2nd in Toronto.
