Blyth Brussels TykeBlue takes trophy
The Blyth Brussels Tyke Blue
team was off to Lucknow on March
2 for their year-end tournament to
defend their title as last year’s “A”
side winners but Kincardine would
have no part of that, defeating the
Blyth Brussels squad by a score of
8-5.
The loss sent the Blue team to the
“B” side.
The team won its way to the “B”
finals against Wingham and despite
a long day, the Tyke Blue squad
came out flying. With another
shutout the Blyth Brussels Team just
kept pouring it on and skated away
with a win and, of course, a nice big
trophy.
Big winners
The Brussels Skating Club held its final day of activity and
an awards ceremony late in February. Among the winners
were, from left, Torrance Pennington-Vock who won the
Skate Canada Spirit of Skating Award, Femke Backx who
took home the Skate Canada Canskater of the Year Awards
and Camryn Logan who won the Skate Canada Spirit of
Skating Award. Absent that day were Jamie Newell,
Hudson Smith and Austin Johnston who reached their level
three gold status, halfway to the final level six gold status
that marks the pinnacle of the system. (Denny Scott photo)
Like a fish
The Huron Hurricanes, a group of swimmers based in Huron East, sent six swimmers to the
West Regional Championships held earlier in February at the Brantford Aquatic Centre. In
order to compete at this level the swimmers had to first make qualifying times in earlier meets
in order to be allowed to compete at the Championships against the top swimmers from
across southwestern Ontario. Representing the Huron Hurricanes at the meet were; Paul
McCauley, Jack DeFerrari, Natasha Dobos, Sabrina Dobos, Josephine Noel and Natalie
VanNiejenhuis. The swimmers show off their top results against a tough field. From left to right;
VanNiejenhuis eighth in both the 50-metre backstroke and 50-metre breast stroke, Sabrina
Dobos with a seventh in the 50-metre freestyle and on the podium with a third place bronze
medal in the 50-metre butterfly, and McCauley with a fifth in the 50-metre breaststroke. (Photo
