The Blyth-Brussels Bantam girls played three games recently after their exciting weekend in Waterloo. Their first game was on Monday, Nov. 9 in Tiverton. The girls were a little bit tired from all the hockey they played on the weekend and they came out flat, with a 5-2 loss. But after a few days rest, they knew they would be ready to play their best. They played their next game on Saturday, Nov. 14 at home against Lucknow. It was a very good game with Heidi Raynard getting a hattrick and Jordan Sholdice scoring one point to leave the score at 4-2. The defence and goaltender did their usual best to keep the score in the locals’ favour. Sunday, Nov. 15 they headed to Kincardine. This was the first time playing this team and the girls didn’t know what to expect. They played well again with Courtney Middegaal scoring assisted by Sholdice. Then Sholdice scored with an assist from Nicole Middegaal. The game ended in a 2-1 victory. The Blyth Midget Local League team was on the road again to play the Tiverton squad. This game would be the first of the season that all the forwards and defence would hit the ice. The team came out to play and with end-to-end action they gave their fans a game worth watching. The first period saw no score from either team as Blyth’s Alec Lorentz turned away many shots. In the second, John Lecomte scored assisted by Collin Whitfield and Ryan Sjaarda which turned out to be the only goal of the game. Blyth took the 1-0 victory. Nov. 8, the Brussels Atom Reps hosted Milverton. It was late in the first when Jack Pipe netted the first goal of the game. Milverton tied it up late in the second, then took the lead eight seconds later. Logan Kellington flipped one in over the goalie’s shoulder with just 44 seconds left in the second period. Three minutes into the third, Delayna Smith put one in, assisted by Pipe. This gave Brussels a 3-2 lead. Wyatt Machan, assited by Kellington, tipped one in while the goalie was watching from the other side of the net. Milverton got one more in before the end of the game but Brussels skated away with a 4-3 victory. They then travelled to Milverton Nov. 10. This game saw many goals, very few penalties, and lots of exciting hockey action. Goals were scored by Pipe, Ronan Jared, Connor Bridge, Machan, Kellington with a hattrick, and Smith who scored on the buzzer.
