Penalty shot goal helps Atom AE Win Tournament
Congratulations to the Atom AE Lancers who went a perfect 4-0 to win the Aylmer AE March Break Tournament. The Lancers played great as a team and had great goaltending from Owen Walker who posted 2 shutouts and only allowed 3 goals all weekend.
The Final was a very close game as it was 0-0 at the start of the third before Dylan Costea-Shreve put the Lancers up 1-0 with over 7 minutes left to play. Ingersoll didn't back down and was able to tie it up with 2:37 left to play which set up the dramatic finish. Preston Fowler was pulled down from behind on a breakaway and awarded a penalty shot. You could hear a pin drop in the rink before Preston ripped a wrist shot into the net and the crowd and bench went crazy to give the Lancers a 2-1 lead with 1:54 left to play. Ingersoll pulled their goalie and applied a lot of pressure but the Lancers were very determined to keep the puck out of their end. Finally with just over a minute left Jake Lessard cleared the puck into the empty net securing the victory for the Lancers and their 3rd tournament win of the season. Congratulations to all the players, coaches and parents for a great weekend!
