The Revelstoke Atom Team followed the Revelstoke trend and won their Playoff Championship on Sunday night.
The game was in Sicamous vs the Lumby Stars.
Revelstoke got down by 2 at the end of the first period. The team was not willing to give up, however, and battled back. The score was 3-2 Lumby after the second period. But showing tremendous determination, the Revelstoke kids tied it with 8 minutes left and then netted the winning goal with only minutes left. They managed to hold off Lumby who was fighting hard for the last 2 minutes to clench the win.
Final score was 4-3 Revelstoke.
The Atom Team now advances to the Valley Championship Tournament in Chase this weekend March 6-8, something that Revelstoke has not done since 2008.
