On January 22-24, the Minor Atoms played in the 6th Annual Capital Winter Classic Tournament at the Sensplex. It was another strong showing from the Cardiac Kids who finished the tournament a perfect 5-0 with 24 goals for and only 3 against. It was a great outcome for the team, which was hampered by at least one nasty flu bug.
In the round-robin, the Golden Knights posted a 3-1 win over the Osgoode-Richmond Romans, an 8-1 win over the Markham Waxers and a 6-0 win over the Metcalfe-Russell River Rats. For each of these Golden Knight opponents, these losses were their only losses in the round-robin. As a result, those three teams plus the Golden Knights all advanced to the play-off round.
In the play-offs, the flu bug really started to take its toll but the resilient Golden Knights still won the semi-final againt the Markham Waxers 5-0. This set up the much anticipated rematch with the Osgoode-Richmond Romans. The final was a close-checking game that was scoreless until the Romans got a powerplay goal two minutes into the third period. Two minutes later the Cardiac Kids answered with a goal of their own, and then with about four minutes to go in the game, they got the game winner with the man advantage. It was a terrific hard fought game and a great way to cap off the third tournament win this season for the Cardiac Kids.
 Congrats to the team and their families!
