It was a great way to start off the
Blyth PeeWee Rep team’s season,
with a victory of 5-1 over Elma
Logan.
The first goal was by Dustin
Pennington with the pass coming
from Josh VanSoest.
Goal two in the second period was
also by Pennington assisted by Ryan
Plunkett. A couple minutes later
Arden Coultes thought he should put
one past the goalie assisted by
Quinton Sjaarda and Drew Bromley.
In the later part of period three
VanSoest got the pass from Coultes
for goal four.
In the final seconds of the game
Dallas Coultes received a pass from
Plunkett to finish it.
The Elma Logan team never gave
up playing strong and hard
throughout the whole game.
The Blyth-Brussels Bantam Girls
started off the season with a close 1-
0 victory over Lucknow.
Great offence was the norm
through the entire game with the
lone goal coming from Jordan Teed,
assisted by Courtney Middegaal.
A strong defensive effort aided
goalie Justine Reid with her first
shutout of the year.
The fans enjoyed a great show of
teamwork.
In Lower Lakes Female Hockey
League action, the Saugeen Maitland
Lightning AA Midgets were tied for
points with Burlington in the
Toronto Aeros Goal Showcase
Tournament after round-robin play
this weekend.
Due to a “points for percentage”
calculation the tie was not good
enough and Burlington advanced to
the next round instead of the
Lightning.
The Saugeen Maitland Lightning
lost 3-1 against Scarborough, won 3-
0 against St. Thomas, and tied 2-2
against Burlington.
Captain Ona Mezenberg, Owen
Sound, led the team with two goals
and an assist.
Other Lightning points were
earned by Kathryn Roy, Abbey
Gibson, Lindsey Ceasar each having
two points, and Dollee Meigs,
Marcie Landman, Diane Bushell and
Laura McKenzie all contributing a
single point in the tournament.
Emily Kelly had one shutout and
played outstanding in net for all
three games.
The Lightning will be on the road
this weekend playing Friday night in
Stratford, Saturday night in Mitchell
and Sunday in Sarna.

The Blyth Midget Local League
Bulldogs came out strong in their
season opener, winning the Oct. 19

Great teamwork was shown by
this Bulldog team. Many great
plays and spectacular moves were
shown by Jonathan Atkinson,
Jordan Bakelaar, Lucas Cooke,
Connor Prescott, Ryan Sholdice,
and Ryan Sjaarda.
The first unassisted goal came
shortly after the drop of the first
puck with a great play by Andrew
Hess. The team continued to play a
strong game with goals coming
from Aaron Popp, and John
Lecomte, assisted by Hess.
With the opposing team down 3-1
they opted to pull their goalie and
Steven Ellis made no mistake when
putting the puck in the empty
net.
Alec Lorentz was spectacular in
net making some really great saves.
Ryan Baker was the back up goalie
for this game and did a great job of
encouraging his team.
Coaches, Calvin Bakelaar and
Mark Sjaarda, trainer Dan Prescott,
and manager Kendra Prescott did a
great job on the bench. The
coaching staff and players are
awaiting the return of Cole McLean,
Brendan Stretton and Dana Teed to
the ice to complete this team for
what should be an amazing hockey
season.
We win!
