Milton Winterhawks Atom Select

28 Feb 2010
The energy was palpable at Memorial last Sunday. Everyone was excited following Canada’s gold medal win and Milton decided to follow suit, trouncing their opponent 8-1.
Our boys hit the ice fast and after less than 2 minutes of play Galarneau registered the Hawks’ first point with the help of some crisp passing between Dutton and Evans. The next goal followed quickly with Di Biasio firing it out of his end to Harrison who spotted MacGregor in the perfect position. MacGregor registered his first of 4 goals! Isnor and Galarneau played it smart and Mulraney grabbed the chance to make it 3-0 at the end of the 1st.
The second period was still Milton’s game and our boys put another three points up, all by MacGregor. The first with some great play-making by Evans and Michailoff. The next one was a short-handed goal. Wulfers Joyce picked it up in Milton’s zone and sent it to Harrison who found Macgregor. Milton’s 6th point was another short-handed goal; this time it was Michailoff and Wulfers Joyce who provided the opportunity.
At 9:21 of the third, with play deep in the Snipers’ end, Michailoff and MacGregor sent it back and forth to each other. The forwards were covered and Michailoff sent the puck to McDonald who fired it right past the netminder from the blueline. Exactly 1 minute later the Galarneau-Evans-Dutton combination played it textbook and Galarneau registered point 8 of the game. The Snipers got on the board halfway through the period to close out the game at 8 to 1.
Shots on net were 30-20 in Milton’s favour and both our keepers made great saves. Congratulations on truly playing like a team! You boys were great!
