Members of the Vegreville Atom 1 and 2 teams played host to six teams during their annual home tournament on December 14 and 15.

The round robin format was a great opportunity for the players to test their skills and showcase their talents on home ice.

Scott Langkow, Head Coach of Team 2, said everything ran pretty smooth and the parents did a good job staying on top of things during the two day event. On the ice, Langbow said the “kids played really well” and won all four of their games. As to which teams would play in the final, “Actually it came down to penalty minutes,” noted Langbow. From there, the Wranglers pushed through to win the championship.

Team 1 didn’t fare quiteas well, tying one game and losing two games.

Head Coach Pete Chipps said they played a regular game Friday night which contributed to fatigue going into Saturday’s games. “It was a long weekend. They didn’t play their best, but they tried hard and fun.”
