Blyth arena was the setting for the
latest game of broomball for the
Bantam boys.
On Jan. 3, Mildmay came to play
an exciting and very competitive
game of broomball. Bryce Glousher
stood in net for Blyth and saw lots of
action, making some fantastic saves
to keep his team in the game.
Mildmay received a tripping penalty
two-thirds of the way through the
first period, yet scored while
shorthanded.
There was lots of action in this
game, with the ball moving equally
into both ends of the ice. Blyth had
many opportunities to score, but
they just couldn’t get the ball past
Mildmay’s keen goalie. With less
then two minutes on the clock, Blyth
pulled their goalie but in spite of a
valiant effort they couldn’t tie the
game.
The final score was a 1-0 victory
for Mildmay.
With a little ice time left on the
clock, the coaches decided to
practise overtime. With two
tournaments coming, up this is an
important part of the game to
prepare for. Both teams scored a
goal during the five minutes of
overtime.
Blyth’s Derek deBoer scored for
his team with an assist from Hunter
Broda. Coach Gord Stute was
pleased with the team’s performance
during this broomball match.

came back in the second with one

Going into the third the score was
2-1 for Blyth. Hunter Dale scored,
unassisted to make it a final score of

The team next played in the Zurich
tournament and came out as B
champs. The first game was against
Zurich. The scoring started and
ended with Blyth. The team scored a
goal each period. Starting things off
was Howson assisted by Justin
Rodger and Jacob Coultes.
In the second Brandon Marshall
put it between the pipes. Assisting in
this effort were Drew Bromley and
Colton Rodger.
The third period saw the final goal
scored by Marshall. Assisting this
time was D. Coultes.
The final score was 3-0 for Blyth.
The second game was on Tuesday
morning against Ilderton. This
proved to be a little more of a
challenge for Blyth. The scoring was
even in the first with one. Blyth’s
was a nice little shot to the net by
Weber. He was assisted by Howson
and Dale.
The second period saw no goals by
Blyth, but Ilderton scored five.
In the third Howson scored,
assisted by Dale. Blyth, however,
had no more left in them leaving the
score at 6-2.
Blyth’s third game was against
Goderich. In the second with J.
Rodger scored the first goal of the
game with assistance from Jordan
Hubbard. The second goal of the
period was scored by Howson
assisted by Hubbard.
Goderich scored its one and only
in the second period.
The third period saw goals by
Justin Rodger and Marshall with
assistance by Howson.
Blyth came home with the B
championship.
The Brussels Tykes had a tough
game against BCH on Saturday.
Nic McArter, Dana Dolmage and
Myles Johnston each scored in the
first period with assists from
McArter, Johnston, Teddy Jacklin,
and Cole Zwep.
The second period they scored
two more with credit going to Wade
Machan for both. Assisting were
Dustin Fritz, Jacob Roth and Brent
Alexander.
The final was 9-5 win for BCH.

The Brussels PeeWee Locals
travelled to Monkton last week.
They did extremely well, taking the
win late in the third.
Colton Hastings netted a top shelf
shot late in the first period but
Monkton tied it up before the
buzzer.
Tim Waechter scored in the
second period and again, Monkton
tied it.
The pressure was on for Brussels
to stay focused. Curtis Bloemberg
put one in with just seconds left on
the clock in the third to take a 3-2
win.
The defence and forwards played
very well as the action was fast
paced, back and forth, throughout
the entire game. Goalie Austin
Jamieson-Johnston played his best
making more than 20 saves
throughout the game.
The team played Minto last Friday
night.
In the second period Tanner
Cardiff lit up the scoreboard with an
assist from T. Waechter to take a 1-0
lead.
The Brussels players worked very
hard to try and score again in the
second period, but it was Minto
racking up the points to finish the
second period ahead 4-1.
In the third Ben Hruska scored,
then Anthony Vader made it 4-3.
Hruska scored again with an assist
from Bloemberg.
Neither team was able to break the
4-4 tie before the end of the game.
Jamieson-Johnston was solid in
net.
Brussels will face Listowel on
home ice this Friday night. Game
time is 7:30 p.m.
Coming into the weekend it was anew year and time for change and
that is what the Minor Atoms did.
The last time they played
Waterloo they lost 7-1 and took a 5-
7 loss against Brantford.
This time the Minor Atom Lakers
took a 180-degree turn and beat both
teams.
“This is what hard work and
improvement is all about,” explained
coach Shawn Hertel.
The game against Waterloo ended
in a 3-2 victory. Goalie Brock Baier
of Wallace saved the team in the
beginning of the first period.
Noah Kuno of Stratford scored the
first goal assisted by Tanner Hertel
of Sebringville. Eric Charlebois of
Saugeen Shores scored the second
goal, assisted by Hertel and Kuno.
Mitchell Newson of Wingham
scored the winner assisted by Justin
Beuermann of Seaforth.
There was excellent back
checking by Will Thibeault of
Stratford and Scott Chisholm of
Seaforth.
On Sunday the Minor Atoms
travelled to Brantford for a 6-2 win.
Baily Paquette of Stratford played
a solid game in net with 23 shots.
Kuno scored the first goal assisted
by Hertel. Thibeault scored the
second goal assisted by Jacob Rooke
of Embro. Hertel scored assisted by
Kuno, then Quinton Maddock ofOwen Sound took a nice wrist shot
outside the blue
line and put it in the left top shelf
on a rush out of his own end
unassisted.
Beuermann scored assisted by
Newson and Chisholm on a good
honest effort from their line. Kuno
scored his second assisted by Hertel
and Ben Derrough of Goderich.
Charlebois did not make the
scoresheet but did the small things
that contributed to his line for a
successful weekend which really
shows how you can be a great player
but not get on the score sheet. Cody
Treble of Blyth played a good
grinder roll on the ice which helps
the team winning those battles.
The defence, Bradley Kraemer of
Stratford, Brennan Stapleton of St.
Marys, Evan Moorehead of
Stratford, Chad Treble of Blyth,
Derrough and Maddock handled the
pressure better with great
communication made some nice
end-to-end rushes with the puck.
You can catch the Minor Atom
Lakers this weekend on Sunday, Jan.
11 at 5 p.m. at the Maitland
Recreation Centre in Goderich as
they take on Cambridge. Jan. 16-18
the team travels to Cambridge for
the Preston International
Tournament.
