Lightning mark shutouts over
Bluewater and Chatham
Strong goaltending and defence
were the order of the weekend as the
Saugeen Maitland Bantam AA
Lightning earned a pair of shutouts
in Lower Lakes league play.
On Saturday afternoon, the
Lightning visited Strathroy to battle
the Bluewater Hawks. Lexi Smith
scored a power play goal in the
second, on a rebound off a Ciara
Lark point shot. Miranda Lantz also
assisted. Smith also scored early in
the third with assists going to Jessica
Dales and Neve VanPelt. Third
period play turned a little chippy
with the Hawks desperate to score,
even pulling their goaltender late in
the period. However, Rebecca Ropp
turned away all shots to garner the
shutout in the 2-0 win.
The Lightning did not have long to
rest as they were back on the ice
Sunday morning in Chatham for
match-up against the Outlaws. Both
goaltenders played well with both
teams having chances in the
opposing end. Cassidy Mason
scored the only goal of the game on
a goal-mouth scramble midway
through the first period. Ashlee
Lawrence and Lantz earned assists.
Morgan Baker closed the door on all
Outlaw shots to earn the shutout.
Next weekend the Bolts travel to
the nation’s capital to compete in the
Ottawa Winterlude Classic
tournament. The following weekend
the girls have their final game of the
regular season, a matchup against
the Lady Rangers in Kitchener.

Do you know someone who is
consistently donating their time to
community organizations? Huron-
Bruce MPP Lisa Thompson,
encourages you to nominate
someone who you feel makes an
outstanding contribution to the
community for an Ontario Volunteer
Service Award.
The Ontario Volunteer Service
Award recognizes individuals for
their continuous years of
commitment and dedicated service
to an organization. Adults are
recognized for five, 10, 15, 20, 25,
30, 40, 50 and 60 years or more of
continuous service. Youth (under the
age of 24) are recognized for two of
more years of continuous service.
“Volunteers are a vital part of our
community, and you cannot put a
price on the important work they
do,” said Thompson. “You see
volunteers in our hospitals, schools,
sports teams and social service
organizations. Most organizations
would not be able to function
without the important work of our
volunteers.”
Adults and youth volunteers who
have been active beyond simple
membership in an organization that
has been in existence for a minimum
of five years, have not received
payment for their volunteer work
and have not performed the services
as part of their regular business or
professional duties are all eligible
for nominations.
Organizations that have been in
existence for at least five years can
submit nominations for the
Volunteer Service Award. An
organization may nominate up to six
volunteers if nominating adults, or
seven if at least one of the nominees
is a youth. Organizations with more
than one branch can nominate up to
six volunteers per branch – seven if
nominating at least one youth.
The nomination deadline is 5 p.m.
on Jan. 25. Any submissions
received after that date will be
considered for next year’s awards.
Special awards ceremonies are held
across the province.

Volunteer Service Award, please do
