Atom Jets soar above Ennismore Eagles
February 24, 2016
The Bancroft Auto Body Atom Jets played home and home games against Ennismore AE this past weekend. The Jets travelled to Ennismore Friday night and had one thing in mind, that was to come out of it with two points. The scoring was quickly started when Hailey Hudder found the back of the net 16 seconds into the game assisted by Dylan Brownlee and Justin Toupin. The Eagles answered back right away with their own goal tying the game up at ones. Before the first period was Brady Hunt potted two of his own goals, assisted by Megan Jenkins and James Armstrong got an unassisted goal of his own. With the score being 4-1 going into the second period the Jets knew they had to expand on their lead when Hunt completed the hat trick assisted by Hunter Dafoe and Brownlee sniped one past the goalie assisted by Toupin. With a comfortable five-goal lead going into the third period Peyton Armstrong added two more goals to ensure the win assisted by Ethan Simpson and Tyler McMann. Cameron Wood, the Jets goaltender played some great hockey to keep the final score at 8-2.
Saturday the Jets hosted the Eagles in their own barn and wanted to start the game where they left off on Friday. With the Jets dominating the game in a full team effort that saw all members hitting the game sheet they were again victorious over the Eagles in an impressive 11-1 win. The Jets take on the Sterling AE team on Saturday in Bancroft at 3:15.
