Atom Burlington Jr. Cougars Off to a Great Start
The Atom Burlington Jr Cougars Tier 1 White team participated in their first 2 tournaments of the season reaching the semi finals in both.
In the Tyler Cragg Memorial AAA tournament the team faced a tough challenge in the semi finals against the #1 ranked team, Toronto Jr Canadiens. After 2 periods of play Burlington led 2-1 but eventually lost 4-2 in a hard fought game. All of the players put forth an incredible effort all weekend long.
The next tournament was the AAA Whitby Thanksgiving Classic. There was tough competition in each game against Clarington, Whitby, York Simcoe and Seaway Valley where Burlington survived to reach the semi finals. Challenging the Clarington Toros again in the semi finals was a back and forth contest. It ended in a 3-2 defeat for Burlington to the team who eventually were crowned champions of the tournament.
It has been an excellent start to the tournament season so far. Next up is the AAA Kitchener Oktoberfest tournament beginning on October 19th.
