The Yavis Atom Raptors had a strong weekend, winning two at home.
    The Raptors faced Cremona on Saturday morning and topped them 4-3. Kerric Chambers had two goals and Gavin Olsen and Tommy Scobie-Gyug each had a goal and an assist. Doan Stanger had two assists in the victory.
    “We gave Cremona their first loss of the regular season. The team really needed to have a good weekend, coming off two tough games against a good Airdrie team,” said coach Bryan Olsen.
    On Sunday, they carried the momentum into play versus Cochrane and had a flurry of goals, winning 5-2. This time Chambers had a hattrick and Seth Walker contributed two.  It was a team effort as seven players notched assists. Goalie Austin Hartman faced 21 shots.
    Coach Olsen is seeing improvement with his squad.
    “They were skating, passing and working as a team. The team is starting to realize hard work will win you games,” he said.
    He adds the defense is going the right way with two stand-up goalies.
    “Goaltending is a strength, we have two goalies who can win us games,” he said. “We have improved a lot in our defensive play. Breaking out of our zone and puck movement.”
    He is most impressed with their attitude.
    “This team always seems to have a smile on their face. They have a good time win or lose,” he said.
    This Friday the Raptors are on the road to face Sundre.
