Blyth Industrial hockey team wins OV championship Sports The Blyth Industrial Hockey Team competed in the OV Provin­ cial Hockey Playdowns in St. Catherines on April 8, 9, and 10. The tournament format consisted of a round robin guaranteeing each teamthree games. The winners and the second place team in each division advanced to the sudden death playoffs. Upon arriving in St. Catherines the team registered at OV Tourna­ ment Headquarters where head coach Dave Cook called a team meeting with the players and coaching staff to outline the team ’ s tournament strategy. Blyth’s first game was against the OV Knights at 4 p.m. Friday. The Blyth boys started slowly as it seemed the lengthy bus ride had affected their skating legs. How­ ever, they soon recovered and with a strong second half coasted to an 8 to 1 victory. Now it was off to Niagara Falls where the team and fans booked into their motel rooms and relaxed awaiting two big games on Saturday. At 4 p.m. Saturday afternoon Blyth met their arch rivals, Lucan. Both teams were robbed of numer­ ous scoring opportunities by the excellent goaltending of the Lucan goaler and Blyth netminder Pat Cronin. It looked as if Lucan would take the victory as they held a 1 toO lead with 20 seconds to play and the face-off deep in the Blyth zone. However, with six attackers on the ice Blyth went end to end and Wayne McDougall’s 30 foot wrist shotwith eight seconds to play tied the game. Both teams got one point, but what a lift for the Blyth squad! Blyth had one game remaining in the round robin at 11:30 Saturday evening against Leam­ ington. Blyth had to win by an eight-goal margin to capture first place in their division. The game proved to be no contest as the local boys won 11 to 1. Upon the teams return to their motel, they were greeted by their jubilant fans who had organized a surprise pizza party to celebrate the victory. All games on Sunday were sudden death. Blyth began play at 3 p.m. against Forest. The Forest team started quickly and carried the play but were unable to score on goaltender Pat Cronin who was at timesnolessthanbrilliant. The tide started to turn and after Blyth Lions begin bingos The Blyth Lions Club held their regular meeting at the Blyth Memorial Hall on Thursday, April 14. Eighteen Lions were served supperbythe Blyth Hockey and Ringette moms. Guest speaker for the evening was Tom Lyons, vice principal of the Clinton Public School. He spoke tu the Lions about the Lions Quest programme. This is a Drug and Alcohol awareness pro­ gramme developed through Lions Clubs international and being introduced into the Huron County Board of Education. The Blyth Lions decided that they will operate weekly Bingos beginning next September at the Blyth and District Community Bridge construction to begin soon Centre. The Lions Vegas Night netted a profit of $1,800 which will be shared by the Blyth and Londes- boro Lions Clubs. All money raised from this event will be returned to the community through the activi­ ties of Lions Clubs International or projects of the local Lions Clubs. The winners of the final Lions Saturday night hockey draw was Wayne McDougall. weathering that early onslaugh Blyth skated to a 5 to 0 victory. The next game for Blyth was at 5 p.m. against, once again, Lucan. Lucan was determined to upset Blyth after their game the day before and it looked as if they might as they took an early 2 to 1 lead. However, again Blyth fought back and scored three goals in a two minute span late in the game and eventually won 5 to 3. This set up the final between Blyth and Niagara Falls. The Niagara Falls team was heavily favoured because of their play throughout the season and at this tournament. Although Blyth jump­ ed into an early 2 to 0 lead, the Niagara Falls team continued to carry the play and eventually took a 3 to 2 lead. Just when it looked as if it was all over for the local squad a quick two-on-one break with less than two minutes remaining produced the tying goal. A five-minute sudden death overtime period followed with neither team scor­ ing. Next came a sudden death shootout. Coach Cook selected winger Kevin Coultes to shoot for Blyth who scored on a nifty deke. At the other end Pat Cronin stymied the Niagara Falls shooter. A war erupted from the fans. Blyth had beaten all odds and had won the OV Provincial Championship.

The township has made a total commitment of $235,000 toward construction of the new bridge. The township has been discuss­ ing replacing the old bridge for five years or more, Mrs. Thompson said. The bridge is old and the approaches are poor. Most of the work will be completed this fall and traffic is expected to be going over the bridge this year, Ralph Campbell, township road superintendent said. Work on the approaches will still have to be done. One of the difficulties with the bridge planning has been finding a firm bottom in the riverbed to hold the bridge pilings. There is still an artesian problem, Mr. Campbell said, and some of the work will likely be done on a time and material basis. Tenders will soon be called for the project. The 10th line bridge is 77 years old.
