Pee Wees top week with tournament crown
BY RUSTY BLADES
The Blyth Pee Wees had a hectic
week of hockey as they won two
league games before participating
in the Zurich Pee Wee Tournament
last weekend.
Mike Bromley put on a tremen
dous show for the fans last Mon
day, December 4 as he led the
home team to an 8-2 blowout of a
chippy Wingham team. Bromley
scored all four first period goals for
Blyth, added another goal in the
second before adding a third period
assist as he finished the game with
six scoring points. Jerrod Button
assisted on three of Mike’s goals
while defenceman Jon Collins set
up another Bromley tally.
Mike Johnston scored on a
two-on-one break for Blyth assisted
by linemates Tim Lyons and Marc
Bri - er. Benjie Hakkers scored a
third period power play goal and
Brian McNichol scored Blyth’s final
goal with a screened shot from the
blue line with an assist to Ryan
Chamney. After building up an 8-0
lead, Blyth let up and watched
Wingham score two late short-
handed goals as the game ended
8-2 in Blyth’s favour.
On Wednesday, December 6 the
team travelled to Hensail where
they won an uninspired game 5-3.
The team played a penalty free
game which was an indication of
how involved in the play the team
was.
B'yth was up 1-0 after only 36
seconds of play as Mike Bromley
tipped in a loose puck in the crease
after a scramble with assists to
linemates Jerrod Button and Benjie
Hakkers. Blyth added two second
period goals as Mike Bromley put
one over a fallen goalie after a pass
from Jerrod Buton and Christopher
Howson scored on a screened shot
after a pass from Ryan Chamney.
They added two more in the third
as Brian McNichol fired the puck
into the top corner after stealing

Farmers
support GST
The Christian Farmers Federa
tion of Ontario wants major chang
es to the proposed goods and
services tax (GST) but does support
the concept.
“We want the rules simplified
for farmers,’’ says Jack Vander-
kooy, CFFO President, “but our
dislike for the proposed implemen-
ation does not stop us from
recognizing that the concept has
merits.’’
The Federation says it’s only
common sense to zero rate all
goods and services purchased by
farmers, if the Finance Minister
continues to exclude food from the
GST.
“They can make this program
more user-friendly,’’ says Vander-
kooy. “Why should the tax be paid
on farm inputs when it’s all going
to be refunded anyway?’’
The Federation wants a zero rate
for farm inputs such as custom
work, draft horses, farm equip
ment, fertilizer, livestock feed,
marketing charges, organization
memberships, pesticides, quota,
seed transportation and veterinary
services.
The Federation also wants the
proposed federal tax combined
with the provincial retail sales tax.
“At a minimum the two systems
need the same rules and exemp
tions,’’ a Federation statement
says.
In the context of lowering the
GST rate to six per cent and
providing adequate rebates to low-
income Canadians, the Federa
tion’s Provincial Board has voted to
support the inclusion of food in the
GST.
the puck at centre ice and Benjie
Hakkers put one in from the slot to
complete a three-way passing play
from linemates Mike Bromley and
Jerrod Button. The team kept
letting Hensail back into the game
but the team played well enough to
win a snoozer 5-3.
The Pee Wees participated in the
Zurich Tournament where they
engaged Seaforth in opening round
action. They built a 3-0 lead, saw
Seaforth score three in the third
period to tie the game before
scoring a last minute goal to win
4-3.
After a scoreless first period,
Mike Bromley scored the only two
second period markers with line
mates Jerrod Button gaining as
sists on both scores. The line added
another goal early in the third
period as Benjie Hakkers and Mike
Bromley assisted on Jerrod But
ton’s howitzer over a fallen and
out-of-positioned Seaforth puck
stopper. Things fell apart after that
as Seaforth swarmed on the attack
and tied the game with a short-
handed effort with just under four
minutes left.
With the game headed for over
time, Blyth’s number 11 put an end
to those thoughts with 11 seconds
left in the game. Ryan Chamney’s
centreing pass from behind the net
was deflected into the net by the
goaltender as Blyth headed into the
championship round with an enter
taining 4-3 triumph. It was fitting
that the winning goal was a power
play effort as Seaforth continually
put themselves behind the eight
ball with unnecessary penalties,
including five scary checking-from-
behind and three undisciplined
roughing penalties.
Blyth played Elma-Logan in their
second game where they cruised to
an 8-5 win. Once again Mike
Bromley was the catalyst as he
scored four goals, including one
short-handed, and added two as
sists. Right winger Jerrod Button
was equally adept as he fired two
powerplay goals to match his two
assists. Christopher Howson and
Tim Lyons rounded out the scoring
for Blyth. Playmaking skills were
evident throughout the contest as
Henry Bos and Mike Johnston
picked up two assists each while
single helpers were recorded by
Shawn Hakkers, Ryan Chamney
and Brian McNichol.
This 8-5 win sent Blyth into the
championship game against an
undisciplined Strathroy squad.
When the penalties had expired
and the whistles stopped blowing,
Blyth found themselves gold medal
winners as the Zurich Pee Wee
Tourney champions with a convinc
ing 5-2 win.
Mike Bromley scored two power
play goals as well as assisting on
Jerrod Button’s lone goal. The
defence played a solid game as
both Jonathon Collins and Tim
Cowan recorded assists after re
bounds of their blueline blasts
were deposited into the goal. Ryan
Chamney tallied Blyth’s final goal
and also set up Henry Bos’ goal
that was scored from the point.
Benjie Hakkers also had an assist
in the game while the goaltending
tandem of Chris Lee and Michael
de Jong continued their strong
puck stopping prowess.
