Preliminary games were played on Saturday and the championship games on Sunday. Blyth *B’ won the ‘D’ championship with a 4 to 3 Blyth Atoms tied 1-1 in group final series BY RUSTY BLADES The Blyth Atoms opened their group championship series against Huron Park last Wednesday in Blyth and skated away with a 5-2 win. Henry Bos opened the scoring in the first minute of the game as he was sent in on a breakaway by linemates Ryan Chamney and Christopher Howson. Ryan Cham­ ney gave Blyth a 2-0 lead late in the period as he split the defence and went in alone on the goalie after receiving Jason Rutledge’s lead pass. Henry Bos scored the only goal of the second period on a power play as he took a Ryan Chamney pass at the edge of the crease and banged the puck home. Ryan Chamney upped the lead to 4-0 early in period three as he notched a breakaway goal with assists to Henry Bos and Christo­ pher Howson. Huron Park narrow­ ed the lead to 4-2 but Blyth put the overtime victory against Belgrave. Teeswater captured the ‘C’ cham­ pionship by defeating Brussels 4 to 3. Blyth ‘A’ took the ‘B’ champion­ ship with a 3 to 1 win over Tiverton. Ripley captured the ‘A’ champion­ ship by downing Clifford 3 to 2. The Blyth Lions Club paid the $100 entry fee for both Blyth teams. game out of reach with a late goal. Ryan Chamney took Henry Bos’s pass at the Blyth blueline and skated the rest of the way before recording his hat-trick on a nice shot to the stick side of the Huron Park goalie. Blyth took this solid 5-2 win and headed for Huron Park last Satur­ day hoping to take a two game lead in the series. Huron Park had other plans as they completely outskated and outworked Blyth in an embarrass­ ing 7-0 whitewash. This game should act as a wake-up call for Blyth as they now realize that a solid effort is required if the team has any hope of success in this final series. Hopefully they can get their game back in order tonight, March 29, in Blyth and Friday night in Huron Park.
