Weekend Wrap-Up Feb. 7
The Atom AE Cyclones began their WOAA play downs with a victory over BCH.

After two close games in the regular season, the Cyclones expected the same thing on the road versus a tough opponent.  However, the team had been playing very well throughout the playoffs, and they looked to continue to skate hard.  They did just that as the Cyclones came out of the gate flying.  With one of their best starts of the season, the Cyclones took a quick two goal lead less than two minutes into the game.  All three lines continued to press for the remainder of the period.  The forecheck was strong, and the defense held the offensive line.  The team controlled much of the play, but the period would end with a score of 2-0.

Building off of the momentum they had gained in the first, the Cyclones scored early in the second period as well.  Following the goal, the team continued to press, and once again controlled much of the play.  BCH would make things interesting midway through the period, scoring a powerplay goal to cut the lead 3-1, but Listowel would answer with just three seconds remaining in the period to regain their three goal lead.

To begin the third period, the Cyclones once again starting things off quickly, scoring another early goal to take a commanding 5-1 lead.  BCH would add a second goal just over a minute later but the Cyclone’s defense and goaltender would lock the game down from there.   Neither team would find the back of the net for the remainder of the game making the final 5-2.

Listowel’s next game action will come this Saturday at home versus Mitchell.
