By Linda Campbell Call 357-2188 PEOPLE AROUNDBELGRAVE NEWS FROM BELGRAVE North Huron leaves ice for finals Working with heat The Belgrave Community Centre Board held its annual wing and pub night on Saturday for St. Patrick’s Day. The event was well-attended with dozens flocking to the community centre for chicken wings prepared by Harvey Black. (Jim Brown photo) Director of Recreation and Facilities Pat Newson advised North Huron Township Council on Monday night that a local hockey team was having troubles playing its final games. “The issue was brought to me over the weekend,” she said. “When Blyth and Brussels Minor Hockey amalgamated two years ago, the Brussels and Blyth arenas went into an agreement that Blyth would keep ice in until the end of the season one year and Brussels would do it the next. This year is Brussels’ turn.” Newson explained, however, that employees were scheduled to take the ice out of the Brussels, Morris and Grey Community Centre soon and that had forced the Blyth Brussels Minor Hockey Association to move one of its team’s final matches to Central Huron’s new arena at the Central Huron Community Complex. “We’re excited that the Midget Rep team is in the finals,” Newson said, referencing the Blyth Brussels Midget Rep squad that is facing off against Belmont for the Ontario Minor Hockey Association Finals. “They have a game on March 24 and, if necessary, a game on March 30, but the ice is set to come out of the Brussels arena before March 30.” Newson explained that North Huron could keep the ice in the Blyth Arena for approximately $600 by keeping the doors closed and not renting out the arena. That cost could nearly be covered by the amount that could be made at the concession stand if a previous game is any indication, Newson said. “Over the weekend, there were 500 people at game two of the series and the concession stand made about $500,” she said. “If things go as they did then, we could gross about $500.” Newson explained the ice was set to come out earlier this week, however council decided to keep the ice in so the players could stay in their home centre. If a match isn’t needed to settle the series, which is currently tied at one, the ice will be removed earlier.
