Minor Atom AE Petes Pretty in Pink While Sweeping the Warriors
The Minor Atom AE Petes lit it up pink at the Kinsmen last night in support of a member of their hockey family.



With a special donation of pink laces from Ben at Fontaine’s Source for Sports, the boys rocked maroon and pink for their teammate’s mom, who was recently diagnosed with cancer.

From the moment they stepped on the ice - with an amazing intro from announcer Dave Talbot - the boys showed they were battle-ready for the North Durham Warriors. The Warriors, hungry for a win that would prevent them from being knocked out of play-off action, were up for the challenge.

Liam Gunning drove in the first goal of the game with an assist from Liam Ireland, giving the Petes the edge up. However, the Warriors came back hard in the third, batting one in for their side. The Petes returned the favour as Liam Kent carried the puck up the ice, out-manouevering the Warriors defence and finding the back of the net.

The Warriors weren’t done yet though, and netted another goal seconds later. With the score tied at 2, the Petes needed a game-winner. Taking the face-off with 52 seconds left on the clock, Declan Cavanagh won the draw and sent it back to Trent Hopson who fired a laser beam shot into the top corner of the net to win the game.

In a last-ditch effort to tie the game, the Warriors pulled their goalie. Down a man with six on five, the Petes drove the puck into the Warriors’ end. On a pass from Aidan Wisco, Zach Lynch sealed the Warriors fate with an empty-netter.

The Petes swept the series three games to none, and now move on to the Lakeshore Semi-Finals.
