(Jim Brown photo) Ironmen breakeven over weekend The Wingham Ironmen only scored four goals in two weekend games, but they managed a split in their two Western Junior C Hockey League contests to improve to 2-1. After losing 5-2 to the Hanover Barons on Friday at the North Huron Wescast Community Complex, the Ironmen scored a 2-1 decision over the Kincardine Bulldogs on Saturday evening in Kincardine. On Friday evening, Hanover held a 2-1 advantage before the game was five minutes old. Dylan Cooper gave the Barons a 1-0 lead at 2:23 and Brad Pitt made it 2-0 at 3:09. Wade Stephenson scored a beautiful unassisted marker at 4:22 to put the Ironmen down by one. Cole Pellett scored an unassisted shorthanded goal at 7:18 of the second period to even the score at two. Pitt scored a power play marker at 8:05 to give the Barons a 3-2 lead. Haden Campbell and Jacob Brown, with a shorthanded empty net marker scored in the third period for the Barons. After going 3-3 on the power play in the previous week’s game against Mount Forest, the Ironmen power play struggled against the Barons, going 0-10. Coach Chad Haggitt of Blyth said the Barons outworked the Ironmen in the game on Friday. “We got away from what worked for us,” he said. The coach said Hanover trapped and the Ironmen were unable to get up the ice as much as they wanted to. As far as the power play went, Haggitt said the Ironmen were moving the puck too slow. “We are going to have to work on our power play, penalty kill and five- on-five at the next practice,” he said. “We need to work on all aspects of the game.” He added that they are hoping everything gets better as the season progresses. With Walkerton coming in this weekend, Haggitt is hoping the Ironmen can use their game plan against the defending league champions. Defenceman Cody Subject of Brussels said it was a rough game out on the ice. “They had a 2-0 lead and we were outshot 6-0 before we knew it,” he said. He said the Ironmen were hoping for a better result than the 5-2 setback. The Ironmen were 0-15 on the power play against the Bulldogs on Saturday evening. Steve Kerr scored a shorthanded goal at 16:57 of the third period to give the Ironmen the 2-1 decision over Kincardine. Justine Jacklin earned the assist. Aaron Armstrong scored at 17:44 of the middle period to even the score at one. Shawn Stewart scored at 12:42 of the first period for Kincardine. Wingham outshot the Bulldogs 49-23. The Ironmen play one game this weekend. Walkerton comes to the Complex on Friday for a 7:30 p.m. contest against the Ironmen. By Jim Brown The Citizen See histories and historic photographs on the Huron History section of our website www.northhuron.on.ca The Citizen Chip and a Putt – By Bruce Skinn The Wingham Golf and Curling Club enjoyed another good week despite the early arrival of fall temperatures. The course is in great shape and many of the members are not near ready to put their clubs away. On Wednesday, Sept. 14 the senior morning men had 16 golfers hit the links. Harry George took home low net honours with Gerry Edwards finishing second and Brian Skinn in third. Doug Vanderwoude shot a good round of 40 for low gross followed by George with a 41. All the guys wish league organizer Bill Johnston a speedy recovery and look forward to seeing him back at the course. The Thursday men had 36 golfers play in less-than-stellar conditions due to a cold east wind. A lot of these dedicated guys will play until the snow flies, so this was a great night for golf. Mark Hackett and Bill Robinson both shot solid rounds of 38 to share low gross for the night. Other winners were: longest putts, Richard Watson, Bill Kerr and Terry Armstrong; closest to the pin, Colin Becker and hidden scores, Harry George and Richard Inglis. On Saturday, Sept. 17 the club hosted the “Grumpy Old Men” tournament in honour of the late Al Godfrey and Brian Marston. Over 60 family and friends got together for nine holes of golf before joining in the golf lounge for supper. It was sure great to see all the children at the course and the smiles from all the generations of the families. On Sunday the club hosted its ninth annual fall barbecue. Over 450 hungry members and guests enjoyed a ham and beef barbecue, courtesy of Jeff Cardiff’s catering. OUT OF BOUNDS NEWS This past week the Wingham Golf and Curling Club was again honoured to hold a golf tournament in memory of two past members Brian Marston and Al Godfrey. With all ages of golfers taking part in this event the memories of Al and Brian will last a very long time. So close, yet so far The Brussels Tigers nearly made it to the finals of the Huron County Fastball League year end tournament, but were put out by the tournament champions, the Walton Brewers.
