Crusaders bring championship
series home after road win
The Blyth Brussels Crusaders
Midget AE squad will continue their
drive for the Ontario Minor Hockey
Association (OMHA) championship
against the Lambton Shores
Predators this weekend with games
in Brussels on Saturday and Sunday.
The Crusaders started the series
off on the right foot with a 4-2 win
over Lambton.
Over the weekend, the squad
traveled to Forest to to take on their
competition at The Shores
Recreation Centre on March 14 and
struck the first blow in the six-point
series.
“We got off to a roaring start,” said
coach Scott Johnston. “We scored
three goals in the first few minutes.”
The first three goals were scored
by Curtis Raynard, Austin Johnston
and Brendan Howson.
However, Johnston said, things
didn’t go well after that.
“The boys started to relax and the
other team kept chipping away at us
and managed to get two goals in the
second period.”
In the third, Scott Dolmage scored
for the Crusaders, giving them the
insurance goal for the win.
Johnston said the team has to
focus on not relaxing or they may
give up a win that’s theirs for the
taking.
“It was pretty impressive, right off
the bat,” he said. “I guess we got the
deal done, and that’s all that counted,
but now we know we can’t relax.”
The win marks two of the
necessary six points for a series win
and provincial crown.
Games two and three of the series
are set in the Brussels, Morris and
Grey Community Centre at 7 p.m.
on March 21 and 3 p.m. on March
22.
Subsequent games, if necessary,
are scheduled for March 27 at 8 p.m.
in Forest, March 28 at 6 p.m. in
Brussels and 2 p.m. on March 29 in
Forest.
The Crusaders have had some
close series and some not-so-close
series in their drive to the
championship.
Most recently, the squad swept
Tweed in the OMHA semi-finals
three games to nothing, earning a 3-
2 win in Tweed and 4-0 and 6-3 wins
at home.
Prior to that, the Crusaders bested
Muskoka, winning three of the four
games played in the series.
Their play-off drive started against
Goderich when the two squads faced
off for the the Western Ontario
Athletics Association AE Group 4
Series B finals. Despite being the
first series, the squad had the most
trouble against them, edging out
their most local competition six
points (three wins) to four points, or
three games to two.
Watch The Citizen for more
information about the series.

Grobbink returns to
Huron after HealthKick
to practice naturopathy
HealthKick originally began as a
pilot project in 2005 as a local health
initiative to help address the
shortage of healthcare human
resources within the rural area of
Huron County. One significant
mandate of the program was to
develop opportunities for local
youth to learn about local healthcare
opportunities in hopes for these
youth not only to choose a career in
healthcare, but also to return to the
Huron County area to practice their
chosen profession.
Since its beginning, the program
has proven to have numerous
successes, winning several
provincial awards, and continual
funding based on its successes.
HealthKick takes pride in sharing its
success stories with the community
and following up with past program
participants to find out how
HealthKick impacted their career
choice. Rosanna Grobbink, a
Walton-area native and past
HealthKick participant, has recently
returned to the Huron County area to
practise in Goderich as a
naturopathic doctor at Good Earth
Naturopathic Centre.
While completing her
undergraduate degree at the
University of Guelph, Rosanna had
the opportunity to be a participant in
numerous programs offered by
HealthKick. During her time with
HealthKick, she assisted Physician
Recruitment Leader Gwen
Devereaux and HealthKick Program
Manager Laura Overholt, with daily
operations of the HealthKick
program, including the planning and
implementation of a MedQUEST
camp for local high school students.
After reflecting on her
experiences, Roseanna knows her
participation in the program played
a significant role in her decision for
her chosen healthcare career and her
decision to return back to the county
to practise as a Naturopathic Doctor.
While participating with HealthKick
she had multiple opportunities to
learn about various healthcare
professions, which allowed her to
assess her own skill set and interests
to determine which career would
best suited for her. This included
having the opportunity to shadow
and network with various healthcare
professionals.
After spending a year practising as
a Naturopathic Doctor (ND) in an
urban centre, Rosanna has decided
to return to Huron County. As a ND,
she is excited to return to the rural
way of life and to act as a
complement to current healthcare
