Six different players chipped in goals to lead BMO past P&M鈥圧ecycling 6-3 in the peewee house league championship game Sunday.

BMO 鈥� also known as the atom development team 鈥� capped a solid year by winning the Whitehorse Minor Hockey Association (WMHA) title in front of a revved-up crowd at the Canada Games Centre.

Each of Johnny Timmons, Gavin McKenna, Nash Holmes, Luke Cozens, Seth Sheardown-Waugh and Taylor Bierlmeier scored for pint-sized BMO in the victory.

Much of the team played together last year as the Whitehorse Novice Junior Huskies. The team plays up a division in the same fashion as the now-defunct Atom Mustangs.

Navarro Davies opened the scoring for P&M, tipping a shot home on an early power play, before Timmons got BMO on the board on a five-on-three advantage.

The electrifying McKenna gave BMO the 2-1 lead early in the second, tapping a loose puck past prone goaltender Max Wolsynuk.

Huss Briethaupt evened the score late in the frame, however, sending a wrist shot past Fynn Ritchie鈥檚 glove hand to finish off a breakaway.

In the third, BMO scored four straight goals to put the game away.

A late tally from P&M鈥檚 Jayden Hardy was the only answer the older squad could muster.

鈥淚t鈥檚 a really special group of kids,鈥� coach Derek Johnstone said of his BMO鈥坰quad.

鈥淚t鈥檚 amazing how they kept on getting better and better, and practising harder and harder.

鈥淎nd to finish like this? It鈥檚 really rewarding to see them win this. The other teams got better as well and they played us tough, but it鈥檚 good to see that they got rewarded.鈥�

Earlier in the round-robin playoffs, BMO edged P&M 4-3, the recycling depot鈥檚 only other loss last week.

BMO鈥坵ent unbeaten.

鈥淟ike I鈥坰aid before, it鈥檚 an exceptional group,鈥濃�坰aid Johnstone. 鈥淭here鈥檚 some talented kids and some kids who work really hard. They all came together this year and bought in that it鈥檚 a team.鈥�
