Blyth Atoms drop close game The CKNX Tryhards must have wondered what kind of animals they were playing when they took on the Blyth Oldtimers at the Blyth and District Community Centre Saturday night. Nearly 800 people packed the arena to see the fun and games. Try Hards draw big crowd BY"MAYBENOTSORUSTY" BLADES The CKNX Try Hards were in Blyth to play the Oldtimers in a fun filled game last Saturday night. I am at a loss for words to describe this game .... can you believe it? The community-minded sports fans who were there need no description of this entertaining game and those fans who were unable to attend will have to wait until next year to see what they missed: a very enjoyable game filled with cannonading shots, scintillating saves, Gretzky-like dekes and general mayhem. The evening news on CKNX reported that Blyth won 12 -10 although the play of the game was recorded by Sandy "the Refrigeration" Thompson of the Try Hards who scored the only touchdown of the game. But who can forget the intricate stickhandling moves per- formed by goalie "Pampers" McDougall as he scored on a rink-length dash. The three assists by Rusty Blades will no doubt go down in Blyth hockey history as an unparallel exhibition of passing skills. The defensive work provid- ed by Gump, Elbows, Lube Job, Volts, Hit-man and Hip-Check reminded fans of Coffey, Robin- son, Langway and Potvin from another league. The goaltending duo of "Pampers" McDougall and "Ratchet" Ritchie brought back memories of Toronto Maple Leaf 'games.. Oust kidding). Names to remember who, with a little polish, might someday play in the N.H.L. are Sawdust, Laflour, Newfie, Skooter, Red Line, the Stick, Red, J.R., Rocket and Nurse Gunner. Special thanks to the Try Hards who give up their free time to help raise money for local groups. Many thanks to the Blyth Oldtimers who put their tarnished reputation on the line for this game of goodwill. Any time •another victory is required just give Red, J.R., and the Unknown Scorer a call. Thanks must also be sent out to the many donors of door prizes. Thanks to referees Jack Lee and Dave Cook who did a remarkable job trying to 'keep this unorganized confugion organized. Fran need not bother baking any pies for awhile as referee Dave received, not one, but two cream pies for his efforts at officiating. All in all a great time was enjoyed by all and the real winner was Blyth Minor Sports as the fans were literally hanging from the rafters because an empty seat could not be found in the building. Upstairs after the game, con- tests and games for the kids were enjoyed while parents and fans traded old hockey stories from years ago which were becoming a little hard to believe by night's end. On behalf of Blyth Minor Sports I would like to extend thanks to the Blyth and area community for their support in this venture. Everyone I interviewed could not remember the arena being so full before and for that - we salute you. Blyth Novices tie Clinton BY RUSTY BLADES Last Wednesday, January 8 saw the Clinton novice team come to town and the two teams battled to a 3 - 3 draw. Blyth opened the scoring in the first period as Mike Bromley scored a brilliant goal as he stickhandled all the way down the ice and deposited it behind the Clinton goalie. The score remained that way into the third period whereonce again Mike scored an unassisted goal on another rink- length dash to put Blyth up 2 - 0. Clinton quickly cut Blyth's lead in half as they started to take control Continued from page 17 Blyth Atoms dropped a close game to Hen sall Monday night, January 6 in Blyth. The game was a low scoring affair, unlike some of the team's recent high-scoring shootouts and Blyth could have used some of those earlier goals. Hensall took.the lead midway through the first period then added to the lead in the second period. Blyth shut them down after than and Billy Jim Scott came back to make the score close and set up an exciting finish. He scored at 6:50 of the third period, assisted by Ian Andrews. Blyth had several close calls after that but weren't able to get the puck into the net to tie the score. Under the coaches' three star system things were so close that four stars were awarded. Billy Jim Scott was given the star for effort and Ian Andrews the defensive star. Brian Van Steelandt and Craig Roulston shared the offen- sive player award for their posi- tional play and close calls around the net. BEST RATES Guaranteed Investment Certificates
