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

Saturday night hockey draw was

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.

promise to fund next year at this
time.
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.
