Thunder Strikes In Owen Sound/Collingwood
An improving Halton Hills Thunder Minor Atom A squad travelled to Owen Sound the weekend of November 1-3 to participate in the Silver Stick Regional Tournament.

The team and their families also took the opportunity to enjoy some time together while staying at the Blue Mountain Resort in Collingwood.  Highlights of the weekend included:
  • Hours swimming outside in the (somewhat) heated pool.  More importantly, hours spent in the amazing outdoor hot tub!
  • Team meals and hours of mini-stick hockey tournaments.
  • Climbing up "Smart Alec" ski hill rather than taking the easy route up the designated hiking path (thanks a lot Trenton!).  The top of Blue Mountain gave us an ideal background for team pictures.
  • Riding the "Ridge Runner" coaster down the mountain.

Everyone seemed to enjoy their time together in beautiful surroundings.  The team spent quality time together and built stronger relationships that will benefit the boys both on and off the ice the rest of the season!

During the hockey tournament, the team faced a tough draw facing both last years OMHA champion (Orillia) and finalist (New Hamburg) in the round robin.  The Thunder showed that they can skate with the best of them, and finished the round robin in a 3-way tie for second with a 1-1 record before bowing out in the elimination round.

The regular season resumes this week... GO THUNDER!
