Atom Girls Win Mount Forest Tournament !!!
The Blyth-Brussels atom girls played in the Mount Forest Classic Girls Tournament from January 8th to January 10th.    

Game 1:  The tournament opened on Friday morning with a game against the Stratford Aces.  Delayna Smith opened the scoring in the first period.  Smith scored again early in the second period.  The team played very good defense, and Julia Beaven recorded the shut out in the opening 2-0 victory.

Game 2:  The Normanby team was up next.  The team scored early and went on to an 8-0 victory.  Smith would notch 4 more goals.  Samantha Kerr also scored twice, with Sydney Wightman and Morgan Howson adding singles.

Game 3:  The 2 round robin victories put the girls directly into the semi-final on Sunday morning.  This game was against the Chatsworth Rebels.  The opposition got on the board in the first minute when a player broke in alone on Beaven and fired a shot into the top of the net.  That seemed to ignite the team.  Wightman replied with a goal to tie it up less than two minutes later.  Smith added one to take the lead before the first period ended.  The second period was all Blyth-Brussels with Howson adding a single and Smith scoring four more times.  There was no scoring in the third and the 7-1 win put the team in the Championship game.

Game 4:  Next up was a familiar foe in the host Mount Forest Rams.  This was a thrilling game with lots of action at both ends of the ice.  Smith would continue her inspired play and notched a natural hat trick with all her goals being powerful shots into the top of the net.  The defense of Jasmine Vader, Sydney Michie, Brittany Walden, Sarah Mitchell and Shelby Higgins played very well in this game.  Julia Beaven also played well in net with only 1 getting by her for a total of 2 goals against in the four tournament games.  The girls played extremely well under great pressure in the final two minutes of the game, with the Rams' goaltender on the bench for the extra attacker.  Final score was 3-1.  Way to go girls !
