Sobey's Atom LL1, 2016-2017 (South Kent Minor Hockey)

As most of you now know, young Ronny Betterley and his family received some terrible news last week as he was diagnosed with DIPG. We are reaching out to the South Kent community asking for your support. If you have a child involved with South Kent Minor Hockey, it is guaranteed that through all their hard work the Betterley's have helped your child. Now is our time to reciprocate. One way to do so is to contribute to this fundraiser.

Your Atom Local League Sobeys lightning faced their first opponent of a Round Robin Playoff on Saturday. None other than there Blenheim rival the Chevy Lightning.  The two teams split the regular season matches with Sobeys wining the first game 5-4 and Chevy winning the second 6-1.  But it’s a new season now. It’s Playoff Season and none of the regular games matter.

This past Saturday your Sobeys Lightning team made the trip to Wallaceburg to play their very last game of the regular season.  In their previous meeting with Wallaceburg the game was extremely close and with 47 seconds remaining the Lightning scored and made it a 3 -2 win.

Last Friday night seen a rematch between your Sobeys Lightning and the Postma Lightning of the Atom Local league.  I would never have predicted the end result.   When the players arrived to the rink both teams could be seen hanging out together and having a few good laughs.

In the last regular season game of 2016 the Sobeys Lightning hosted the Wallaceburg Lakers in an unusually late game in Ridgetown.  The whole Lightning team seemed pumped and ready to meet another team close to them in the standings.
