The SOMHA Atom Development team, The Rebels, came away with a 3-0-1 record in the round robin and went on to beat the Penticton A2 Jr. Vees in the Gold Medal game in a recent tournament.
The 52nd Annual Coquitlam Atom A PUP Tournament took place over Family Day weekend, Feb. 5 – 8. SOMHA is the South Okanagan Minor Hockey Association.
Fourteen of the ‘Rebels’ were fortunate to attend the Canucks versus Flames game complete with private tour of the announcers’ skybox and meeting a few Canuck players.
One would think that would have been the highlight of the weekend, but when the players were asked it didn’t come close to winning the Tier 3 Cup!
Many of the players said, “Best, Day, Ever,” after the gold medal win.
Many parents went home with sore throats and cowbell induced headaches from cheering on the team.
The Rebels still have a few weeks left of their season. From Feb. 26-28 the team will be in Revelstoke for their playoff tournament and March 11-13 will be the 42nd Annual Atom Fiesta in Osoyoos and Oliver.
