Drayton Atoms up 2-0 in OMHA finals

The Drayton Defenders Atom Rep team can clinch an All-Ontario Championship with a win at home Saturday.

The Defenders took a two games to none lead to record four points in their six-point OMHA final series with a pair of victories over Woodville last weekend.

Drayton earned a 3-1 victory in Drayton March 9 and won by the same score in Woodville on March 10.

The first two games with Woodville have been tighter affairs than those in Drayton’s three-game semi-final sweep of Ridgetown, where they won by counts of 8-1, 10-1 and 3-0.

“It was good competitive hockey,” said  Drayton coach Jason Jack, who added his team won by “just doing all the little things right,” including “playing hard at both ends of the ice.”

Game three in the series is scheduled for March 16 at 3pm at the PMD Arena in Drayton.

Game four, if needed, would be played in Woodville on March 17 at 4:30pm.
