Madill girls hockey team had the opportunity to represent their school and communities in a sport they love, at the highest high school level, the OFSAA A/AA Championship (All Ontario). These championships took place March 20-22 in Belleville/Trenton. Travelling to Belleville by bus on Monday, March 19 and meeting up with other team members who had just landed at the Toronto airport from a soccer tournament in Hawaii, the girls settled in nicely with a 2-0 win against St. Joseph’s on Tuesday morning. Both goals went to Kelsey VanderVeen unassisted and the shutout went to goaltender Brianne Wheeler. Game two on Tuesday evening was another 4-1 win against Timmins with Tammy Freiburger scoring all four goals and Wheeler receiving the win from the net. Assists went to Kendall Whitfield, Allison Quennell, Sheila Kuik, Marlee Alton and Karla Dickson. At 8 a.m. on Wednesday it was another victory for game three against Bayside Secondary. Wheeler was credited with the win and scoring the goals in this 5-2 effort Well done It’s been a good year for the F.E.

The game started out in Blyth’s favour with them ending the first period ahead 3-0 with goals scored by Tyler Stevenson, Dan Dery and Dallas Pennington. Assists were by Pennington, Adam Cronin, Matt Chalmers and Stevenson. The second period however was a different story with Ayton catching up to Blyth very quickly because of unwanted penalties from the Bulldogs. The team did come out in the third period ready to win and the game ended in a 7-4 victory for Blyth. Scoring were Dery, Pennington, Chalmers and Stevenson. Assists were by Matt Popp, Cronin, Chalmers, Dery and Michael McDowell. Sheldon Reid once again played a great game between the pipes. Game two was held in Blyth the very next night with the boys ready to win and stay out of the penalty box. The game was fairly one-sided this time with Blyth winning 3-1. Scoring were Cronin, Dery and McDowell with assists from Pennington, Cronin, Stevenson and Dery. This win gave the team the title of Bantam WOAA champs. The Bantams weren’t done with hockey yet, however. On Saturday they headed to Tiverton where they started their final series of the year. Blyth managed to win the game 5-3 but Tiverton gave the team a good run of it with some heated moments near the end of the game. On Sunday Tiverton came to Blyth hoping to win but the Bulldogs wanted it more. Blyth dominated the play winning the game 6-0. The Blyth Bantams were the winners of the Neilson Division trophy for group playoffs. It was a good way to end the season.
