Apply at minor sports meeting BY RUSTY BLADES Anyone who has an interest in Blyth Minor Hockey would be well advised to attend the next meeting on April 8 at 8 o'clock at the arena. New organizing blood and fresh ideas are needed to keep this organization headed in the right direction. Everyone who has a childsigned up in minor hockey have aright, but most importantly, an obligation, to attend these meetings and offer his or her views and/or services in minor hockey activities so that minor hockey will continue to flourish in Blyth. There is no strict executive and everyone is invited to attend all meetings to help make policy and fund raising decisions. With an operating budget of about $12,000. every hockey season, it is easy to see that help is always welcome and appreciated. With minor hockey registration fees only covering one third of the operating budget, rumours persist that these fees could double unless more interest is taken in fund raising activities. Also, coaching decisions will be made at this meeting for next season. This promises to be an interesting and informative session that, hope- fully, will be well attended and provide the leadership that will be required for the upcoming year. Ask yourself What can I do for minor hockey in Blyth? Tuesday, April 8 at 8 o'clock at the arena. I had the opportunity last Friday night to witness a Junior A playoff game between the London Knights and the North Bay Centennials at the London Gardens. London lost the game 6 - 3 as Seaforth native Dave Mcllwain notched a goal for North Bay. During the second intermission of every game, the league organiz- es a shoot out contest. Four fans, who have purchased programs that have selected pages autographed by a London Knight, earn the right to shoot from the blueline at a board covering the net that has a small hole in it. Prizes to those who score are either a stereo, free gas or new skates. (I sure could have used those stainless steel blades). The fourth shooter has to shoot from that same blueline down to the far end of the ice at a hole in the board Blyth Tykes have completed a very successful year. Members of the team include [front row, left to right] Darryl Shannon, Brad Anderson, Darryl Bromley, Jeff Cowan, Jason Rutledge, Jeffrey Ferguson and Chris Bromley; [back row] Stephen Youngblut, Chris Stewart, Robbie Johnson, Benjamin Craig, Jason McDougall, Frederick Datema, Wesley Wilson, John Armstrong and [extreme back] coaches Wayne McDougall, Ralph Datema and Terry Rutledge.

Yours truly was the lucky, or unlucky, person who attempted this - with the prize being an $8,000. credit on a new car. The last advice 1 received from the organiz- er was that I would be booed off the ice if 1 missed the net completely. With that information in hand, and at least three Blyth novice players in attendance, the pres- sure was on to give a good account of myself in front of the 4,100 fans. My shot sailed down the ice, caromed off both sides of the hole but didn't go in. That was the closest anyone in London has come to winning the car. Small consola- tion was the souvenir puck and stick used in this event. Just missed $8,000. (with three boys, that is almost as much as Al Craig spends on hockey and skating registration, equipment and trav- elling expenses every hockey season). Brussels holds last mixed curling draw The last draw of the mixed curling in Brussels ended on Monday, March 24.
