When the team is the Orono Family Auto atoms. It has been 10 long years since Orono landed a team in an OMHA Ontario final series. And though they failed to knock off the defending defending provincial champions from Thedford, the team's accomplishments accomplishments over the year, and especially their incredible playoff run, gave the entire town reason to celebrate. Facing a 5-1 points deficit in the six-point series, Orono needed a pair of victories in Thedford this past weekend to force a sixth and deciding game back in Orono.

But four unanswered goals by Thedford in the final half of the extra period gave them a 64 win and, with it, the Atom 'E' Ontario title. "The kids got those two goals and thought the game was over," said coach John Witheridge. "So, it was a good learning experience for them that a game is never over.
