With less than a minute remaining in the first period Trystan Weber scored on a pass from Brendan Hallahan. A minute into the second period Blyth’s Curtis Raynard completed a scoring play with an assist going to Josh VanSoest. Solid defence and a couple of home team penalties helped Blyth control the balance of the game. Dustin Treble stopped all the shots he faced, earning his second shutout in a row. The final score was 4-0 for Blyth. Brussels’ Johnston was kept busy throughout the game catching some pop flies off the Blyth sticks. He made 28 saves. One save is credited to Scott Dolmage. He ended up behind Johnston during a save that bounced off his stick, only for Dolmage to stop the rebound shot.

This was the first match of the season for these two teams and it was a very close match. Tyler Hallahan stood strong in net for Blyth and did a great job. Mildmay was first to score after getting a breakaway at the beginning of the first period. Blyth had some chances to tie up the game, but just couldn't find the right spot to slip the ball in past Mildmay’s keeper. Penalties were handed out to both teams, but neither was able to score a goal and take advantage of the powerplay. The second period saw Blyth’s winger, Greg Roetcisoender, take the ball away from his opponents and score to tie it. At one point in the second period there was lots of traffic in front of the Blyth net and Mildmay took advantage of the confusion and scored to take a 2-1 victory. Nov. 21 at 9:30 p.m. in Blyth, is the next time these teams will faceoff.

TRY CLASSIFIED Saugeen Maitland girls win home and away Blyth PeeWee goalie Dustin Treble, turned away all the Elma Logan shots to record his first shutout of the season in recent hockey action. The PeeWee Local League gave a hard performance at home Nov. 10. The team played well together controlling the majority of the play for most of the game. Blyth limited the scoring chances that Elma Logan had and Treble responded by stopping them all. The coaches were impressed that even though they kept tinkering with the line combinations the team as a whole played solid defence and when the time arose they capitalized on their own scoring chances. Curtis Raynard scored the opening goal of the game just minutes in from a pass from Trystan Weber. Blyth finished its scoring for the night with an unassisted goal by Josh VanSoest. Blyth had several more scoring chances during the game, only to be held back by the strong play of the Elma Logan goaltender. The final score was 2-0.
