Coming up Atom AE Thunder earns OMHA Group 2 title The Halton Hills atom additional entry Thunder capped off a memorable season by winning the Ontario Minor Hockey Asso- ciation Group 2 championship on home ice Sunday, defeating the Aurora Tigers 4-3 to take the best-of-5 final three games to one. Initially classified as an AE-2 level team, the Thunder was elevated to the AE-1 loop and finished first during the regular season with a 21-1-6 record, scoring 147 goals while allowing just 46. The Halton Hills squad won the Peterbor- ough Thanksgiving Classic in October and followed that up with a 6-0 run at the Chatham Regional Silver Stick Tournament in Decem- ber, earning a spot in the International Silver Stick Playdowns in Pelham in January, where they finished as semifinalists. In the post-season, the Thunder swept through the preliminary round at 6-0 and re- ceived its toughest test from the Milton Win- terhawks in the quarterfinals, prevailing in a fifth-and-deciding game. Sweeping Amherstburg in the OMHA semifinals set up a date with Aurora for the championship and Halton Hills received contributions from up and down the roster to claim the Charles Drake Memorial Trophy.
