The Blyth Icedogs hosted a
Midget boys broomball game
against the Seaforth Stealers on Nov
17, thanks to some rescheduling
from the coaches.
Seaforth's Dave Bolton was first to
get on the scoreboard when Blyth
left a man uncovered at the net at the
beginning of the first period. Chris
Hundt shot the ball into the top
corner of the net to take a 2-0 lead in
the game for Seaforth. Seaforth was
on a roll and Dan Steinman scored
from the point to take a 3-0 lead.
Ryan Finnie earned his second assist
in the game.
Seaforth dominated the first
period with their strong shots on net
and their speed as they were often
first to the ball. The Icedogs’ goalie,
Graham Bedard, took a beating with
numerous shots on net, but he did a
great job standing up and covering
the net for his team.
Blyth had a two-minute
powerplay, but was unable to score.
Blyth finally decided to play the
game when Mike Hogan passed the
ball around the net to Alex Hogan
for a shot at the net. Brent Drost
picked up the ball, chipping it into
the top corner of the net for the
Icedogs’ first goal. Blyth received a
penalty and then doubled up the men
in the penalty box after playing too
many players on the ice. Blyth
fought for their lives and
successfully stopped their opponents
from scoring while killing off the
penalties.
Seaforth had a 3-1 lead at the end
of the first period.
Blyth’s defence played a much
stronger half in the second period as
they didn't allow any goals to be
scored. Blyth showed a little more
aggression and speed as they dug for
the ball.
The locals had a nice two-on-one
play when Mike Hogan earned
another assist as he coaxed the
Seaforth goalie out of the net, then
passed the ball over the goalie to his
team mate. Drost picked up the ball
and flipped it into Seaforth’s net to
narrow the gap in the score.
Blyth received another penalty for
high sticking, and successfully held
off their opponents during the
powerplay.
With just a few minutes left on the
clock, the teams decided to practise
overtime. Both teams made some
great plays but were unable to score.
The game ended with a close
score, but the Seaforth Stealers
earned the 3-2 victory.
The Brussels Ladies Rec Hockey
team travelled to Mildmay this past
weekend for a tournament.
In game one they played Teeswater
and won 5 – 1.
Teeswater scored first with a shot
on net that found our goaltender
sleeping.
The Brussels goalie stopped the
rest of Teeswater shots making many
great saves. Scoring for Brussels
were Cheryl Baxter with two goals
and one assist, Karin Marks with one
goal and one assist, Kim Strome,
playing in her first ever game, with
one goal and Brooke Campbell with
one goal,
The other assists went to Kristen
Fischer, Michelle Blake, Amy
Siemon, Kim Mulvey and Jen
Hopf.
Game two was against Toronto.
The team lost one 3 – 2. Debbie
Campbell and Kristen Fischer scored
one each with assists going to
Mulvey, B. Campbell, Marks and
Roxanne Nicholson.
One win and one loss put Brussels
in second place so the squad had to
play Teeswater again to see who
would go onto the final game.
Teeswater gave their opponents a
great game. The score was tied at the
end of regulation time so they played
a five-minute sudden death overtime.
Danielle Good scored 1.26 into
overtime to give Brussels the win
and a chance at the finals. Good and
Strome scored the other two goals
assisted by B. Campbell and Fischer.
The final game was another
rematch with Toronto but Brussels
went out ready to win and scored two
goals to help their goalie enroute to a
shutout. Scoring for Brussels was
Mulvey with a nice shot from the
point and Hopf. Baxter and D.
Campbell earned assists.
Brussels had a few new players out
playing their first game and doing a
great job. Melinda TenPas and Sara
Houston helped out on defence along
with a veteran S. Jamieson. Lori
Malhiot and Jill Sholdice also helped
out on the forward lines. Jane
Badham was in net for all four games
and did a superb job of stopping
some great shots.
