The hockey season is once again
in full swing as all the local teams
have seen game action except for
the Novice B’s who can't seem to
find any extra goalie equipment to
use. Exhibition games and intense
practices have been the order of the
day as the coaches prepare their
respective teams for another sea
son of ice challenges.
The W.O.A.A. Atom rep team
saw their first game action last
Saturday, Oct. 31 as their counter
parts from Brussels travelled to
town. Blyth looked in mid-season
form as they took period leads of

NEW TRUCKS
Brussels hockey scene
gets into gear
The winners of the Brussels
Minor Hockey and Ringette Draw
have been announced.
Brenda Wheeler won the first
prize, one pig cut and wrapped to
order, and Mel Jacklin won second
prize. $75 worth of steak. Special
thanks to Ernie and Annette
Lewington for donating the pig and
to Don Sholdice and Neil Beuer-
man for the steak.
Hockey season is underway with
most teams getting in a few
practices over the past two weeks.
The Novice and Atom teams both
tested waters in exhibition games
on Saturday and both teams found
out that much more practice is
needed. There will be two Bantam
teams due to the large number of
boys registering for that age group
and one very small Pee Wee team
with only nine players. The Pee
Wees will have tested their
endurance level on Monday night
in Blyth.
The Midgets start out this
week’s home games on Wednes
day, Nov. 4 at 8:30 against
Mitchell.

Radford overloads
tie in Hensail
The Radford Overloads travell
ed to Hensail last Friday night for
an oldtimer hockey game against
Hensail.
The action was fast and furious
as the teams traded goals and the
second period ended deadlocked at
two. Gary Courtney scored Blyth’s
first goal from a smooth set-up by
Wayne McDougall. Jim Button
scored the second goal on a passing
play from Brian Black and Tony
Van Bakel.
At the end of the second period,
Coach Stewart showed the boys a
few plays on the chalkboard and

’ The teams had played a little
more than four minutes of the third
period when Mike Chapman scor
ed from Ron Strome and Kevin
McArter to give Brussels a tie.
Mitchell rebounded to go ahead
once more at the 12:10 mark.
Play continued until the 3:43

team as the remainder of the game
was scoreless. The Bulls outshot
the visitors 50-33 but were unable

It seemed to pay off as the
Overloads fought back from a goal
behind, totakethe lead midway
through the third period. Terry
Rutledge tied the game on a wicked
backhand shot, then Doug Scrim-
geour deflected Bruce Bromley’s
point shot to give the Overloads a
4-3 lead.
However, the Overloads got into
penalty troubles and were forced to
play the last minute two men short.

seconds left to tie the game. Ron

Overloads net. Their next game is
Monday night against Wingham
