missed, Dery took the opportunity to
poke the ball past the keep and

Andy Bolinger, shot the ball into the
corner. Jordon Rinn picked up the
pass and shot the ball into
Mildmay’s net.
At half-time the Blyth Icedogs
were ahead 2-0.

number of shots on net in the second
period and Mildmay’s goalie made
some good saves. Although the
Icedogs seemed a little sluggish at
times, you could see their passes
improving as the night wore on.

into the Mildmay’s corner and
rookie Kris Bjerg picked up the pass
and shot the ball into the net to score
for Blyth.
