Minor Atom AAA Report
The Minor Atom AAA Gryphs battled the visiting Brampton 45's on saturday and skated away with a 2-1 victory. Landon Mitchell opened the scoring in the first period with a nifty play around the 45's defender and buried the puck top shelf on a breakaway. Evan VanEykeren got the assist.
The Gryphs continued to pressure the 45's netminder and were rewarded early in the second period on a hard-work effort by Nathan Briggs. Sam Savery assisted. The Gryphs took the 2-0 lead into the third. 



Alessandro Gruosso stood firm between the pipes making some key saves in the third period. The 45's snuck a bouncing puck past Ale with 5 minutes remaining in the game, but the Gryphs held-on from there and won 2-1. The Gryphs out-shot the 45's 30-13 in the contest. Next action for the minor atom's is wednesday February 8 at WERC against the same Brampton squad.
