The Dynamite started off against the Palmerston Lions. Blyth played well from the start. The game- winning goal was scored just as regular time was winding down. Kurtis Roetcisoender passed over to Bailey Van Massenhoven, who fired the ball into the net. The second game was against Mildmay Green. The Dynamite controlled the game in the first half. Mildmay was stronger in the second half. Dynamite goalie Preston Scott did a good job to keep Mildmay off the scoreboard and take the game into overtime. Mildmay scored early in the overtime period to take the win. The Dynamite then faced the Palmerston Tigers. Blyth had the upper hand for most of the game but was unable to score. Overtime was a seesaw battle. It wasn’t until the end of the second overtime period, when Logan Forbes stole the ball for a breakaway and scored to give the Dynamite the win. The Dynamite finished second in their division and faced the Blyth Rollers in the semi-finals. The Rollers finished first in their division with overtime wins against Innisfil and Mildmay Red. Both teams played a great game. The Dynamite scored late in the first period to take the lead. Kaitlin Bos and Van Massenhoven teamed up to get the ball to Forbes to scored for the Dynamite. The second period was winding down when Brennan Kolkman fired one home for the Rollers to tie the game. Overtime was handled quickly. From the faceoff, Roetcisoender worked the ball into the Rollers end but was stopped by the Roller defence. The Rollers moved the ball down ice and Laura Souch scored to advance the Rollers to the finals. The Blyth PeeWee Local League Bulldogs hosted Seaforth. Blyth knew the game would be a tight-checking affair and it lived up to its expectations. With plenty of hard checks and few scoring chances, Blyth took a one-goal lead at the end of the first when Dalton Richmond fired home a shot past the Seaforth goalie. Assisting were Trystan Weber and Kyle Pollard. Seaforth tied it up in the second, before Blyth’s Curtis Raynard poked one into the net with help from Josh VanSoest. Less than a minute later Seaforth scored another to take the lead. The final score was 3-2 for Seaforth. The Dogs got back on track winning two games. The boys headed to Clinton on Saturday to face the BCH IceDogs, Blyth's Weber opened the scoring late in the first. BCH got one by goalie Dustin Treble for the only goal in the second period.
