Falcons Find Their Form
Friday night the Minor Atom AA Falcons travelled to Burlington to face the Eagles and put in one of their best efforts of the year, earning a sound 2-0 win over one of the better teams in the league.

"Player of the Game" goaltender Cohen Corbett was full value for the win, collecting his first shutout of the season.  Helping Corbett throughout the game was a solid effort from the Falcons defence, consisting of Chad Canter, Dylan Rawson, Jaxon Mosher, Sebastian Hayward, Patrick O'Farrell and Hensley O'Hara.  The defence did a great job of clearing the puck and minimizing second chances by the Eagles.

Like the last couple of games, the Falcons found themselves tied after the second period, but this time the team played full effort from start to finish.  Two minutes into the third period Alex Caiazza got the Falcons on the board with what would prove to be the game winner, a goal assisted by Aidan Johnson and Simon Sciarra.  Three minutes later Malik Moore would provide some much needed insurance on a goal assisted by Patrick O'Farrell.

The Eagles pulled their goalie for the last two minutes of the game, but the Falcons played excellent team defence to preserve the win.  Cohen Corbett made several key saves late to preserve his shutout and the win.

Next up the Falcons are back home to host the Guelph Gryphons Tuesday February 6th, 7PM at BBA.
