Mildmay’s Miranda Lantz scored eight goals in three weekend games as the Saugeen Maitland Lightning defeated Chatham 4-1 and swept Bluewater by scores of 6-0 and 3-0. A shorthanded goal by Lantz midway through the second period of the Chatham game tied the score at one. Her other two goals came within a minute of each other in the third. Lexi Smith, Brussels tallied the fourth marker for the Bolts. Sunday afternoon the PeeWees relentlessly attacked the Hawks from Bluewater. First period goals by Lantz, Carmen Underwood, Clifford and Ciara Lark, Mildmay got the Bolts started. Smith’s goal was bookended by two from Lantz, (back-to-back games with a hattrick) to finish off the scoring. Strong special teams also were a factor in the win both on the penalty kill and power play. Sammi Pruden, Wroxeter and Mallory Hussey, Howick Twp. – first game back from a season-long injury put in strong performances. The second game of the day had Reagan Kaufman, Durham open the scoring from Pruden and Lark. Lantz added two with assists going to Smith, two and Tori Terpstra. The Brussels PeeWee Reps have had a busy few days of hockey. Wednesday night, Jan. 20 they hosted Zurich and got the shock of their current hockey season – they lost their first game. Zurich scored the first goal and the team seemed to just fall apart. They tried to get the lead back, but to no avail. Brussels lost 4-2. Friday night was a different story. They headed to Clifford to play an 8:30 p.m. game and hammered the home team 14-0. Racking up the points were Nic Zwep with one,Austin Johnston and Mitch Kellington each with a pair, Colton Hastings with a hattrick, and Wyatt Ducharme with five. Providing the assists were Kellington, Johnston, Zwep, Ducharme, Hastings, Scott Dolmage and Hayden TenPas. Matt McNichol was solid in net. The play of the game would go to Johnston when in the first period, he slipped and fell in a scramble at the net, yet managed to score the goal while on his back. Sunday saw the boys faceoff against Zurich in their arena. A minute and a half into the game, Johnston scored with the help of Hastings and TenPas. The boys pounded at the Zurich net all the way through the game. The Zurich goalie, Kim Hendrick, stopped many shots. Those who slipped the puck past her were Ducharme, TenPas and Tim Waechter. Keeping up a strong defence were Zwep,Waechter, Luke McCutcheon, Reece McArter and Sean Mitchell. McNichol stopped several shots in the game. Brussels celebrated a 6-0 victory. These two teams are apt to meet again before the season is through. Brussels has one more game (against Howick) in the round-robin series. The PeeWee Reps played their last game in their round-robin series against Howick Jan. 27. Kellington scored early to take the lead, assisted by TenPas. Ducharme scored 20 seconds later, unassisted. Forty-five seconds later, Kellington scored again, this time with the help of Dolmage and Ducharme. Howick managed to slip one in not long after, to make the game 3-1, just two minutes into the game. Kellington scored his hattrick of the night near the end of the first period. He was helped by Ducharme and Zwep. In the second period, goals were scored by TenPas and Waechter. Racking up the assists were Kellington, and TenPas. Howick got one goal in the second period. Johnston scored one and Ducharme netted his hattrick in the third. Helping them get the puck to the net were Waechter, Kellington and Ducharme. Howick got two quick goals in the third period. It wasn’t enough as Brussels took an 11-4 victory. Brussels now waits to see who they play in the next round. PeeWee Reps suffer first loss With a disappointing three losses under their belt at the Mildmay tournament held the previous weekend, the Blyth Kings Midget boys travelled to Mildmay on Wednesday, Jan. 27 for their latest broomball game. In the absence of the team’s regular goalie, Tyler O’Rourke was bold enough to put on the goalie gear and stand in net for the game. Both teams played a strong first half. The play moved up and down the ice, with the defence doing an excellent job at clearing the ball out of their end. This hard work helped a short-staffed Blyth team stay in the game and really limited Mildmay’s shots on net. At half time the game was all tied up with no goals scored by either team. In the second period Mildmay took a hard shot from the blueline and the ball sailed past several players to land in Blyth’s net. Five minutes later Blyth’s Greg Roetcisoender gained control of the ball and scored to tie it. Less than a minute later Mildmay scored and took back the lead with a hard windup shot from the face-off circle. With three minutes left on the clock, Blyth had a man advantage after Mildmay received a penalty. Blyth pulled their goalkeeper to try and tie the game. In spite of their best effort, Mildmay was able to kill the penalty and Blyth couldn’t get another goal. Blyth earned a penalty with less than half a minute left in the game. Mildmay outran Blyth’s last man back and sealed their victory with another goal with only four seconds left on the clock. It was a disappointing 3-1 loss for the Blyth Kings. Lightning has winning weekend The Brussels Atom Reps confronted Zurich Jan. 31 for the last of their round-robin with them and Howick. It was a tough battle with no score at the end of the first period. It was early in the second when Mitch McKee scored with the help of Noah Terpstra and Avery McArter.
