The team competed in the “C” Division with the preliminary games played in a round-robin format with Zurich, Tiverton and Normanby Township. Blyth swept through the round-robin undefeat­ ed, outscoring the opposition 18-2, to finish in first place. Blyth opened the tournament on Thursday, December 27 in Tiverton against arch rival Zurich. Jason Rutledge, Tim Cowan, Mike Sal- verda, Brian McNichol and Brad Anderson, on a power-play scored for Blyth while the defence -held Zurich to a single goal. Mike Salverda, Jason Rutledge and Brad Anderson picked up two assists each in the game with single assists to Brian McNichol and Ryan Cham- ney as Blyth won 5-1. This 5-1 win was matched later on in the afternoon as Blyth recorded their second win of the tournament with a 5-1 win over host Tiverton. Although Tiverton opened the scoring in the first period, Blyth tied the game in the second before securing the win with four unan­ swered third period markers. Brad Anderson had a big game as he tied the game in the second, scored the winner early in the third and assisted on the insurance goal 50 seconds after scoring the win­ ner. Other Blyth marksmen were Benjie Hakkers, Brian McNichol and Jonathan Collins, who blasted a point shot from the blueline to ice the victory late in the game. Mike Salverda, Jason Rutledge, Shawn Hakkers and Greg Toll recorded single assists while Brad Anderson picked up his fourth point of the game as he set up the final Blyth tally. Blyth’s final game of the round­ robin was played in Ripley on Saturday, December 29 where they blasted an over-matched Norman­ by Township team 8-0. Goaltenders Chris Lee and Michael deJong continued their strong net play as they added another notch to their goal sticks with yet another shut out. Team play was evident through­ out the fine passing and tenacious forechecking resulting in this lop­ sided win. Team captain Brian McNichol led the way with two goals, including a shorthanded effort, and two assists. Shawn Hakkers recorded two goals, and an assist while twin brother Benjie scored one goal and added two assists. Tim Cowan continued his fine forward play with two goals while linemate Ryan Chamney opened the scoring and assisted on Blyth’s second goal. Single assists went to Jonathan Collins, Christo­ pher Howson and Henry Bos. The defensive play of Collins, Bos, Peter Craig and Greg Toll stood up well to foil any offensive outbursts Normanby tried to develop. As Blyth finished first in their division they faced a strong Clinton A team in the Tournament semi­ final later in the day. This game will be long remembered as one of the greatest comebacks fashioned at the Silver Stick Tournament. Seemingly out of the game with two minutes left, Blyth caught fire and Continued on page 21 Nixon back behind Hanover Barons bench The man fans in other Midwes­ tern Junior C towns love to hate is back with the Hanover Barons. Jim Nixon who coached his team to a string of league championships with an abrasive, intimidating style of hockey, returned to the Hanover bench in late December after missing half a season because of retirement. He returned with a call for a more aggressive style of hockey from the team and a hope that finally his team will get the one title that has eluded him: the provincial Jr. C title. Last year. after nipping a tired Brussels’ Bull team in the league final, the team lost in the OHA quarter-finals. Coach Nixon replaces Doug Kennedy who was hired as his replacement after last season when the team executive opted for a new direction. Mr. Kennedy resigned three weeks ago and was succeed­ ed on an interim basis by Paul Lahn. Under Coach Kennedy the team had trailed Brussels all season until Brussels slipped into a slump and Barons defeated Brus­ sels to take over top spot by one point.
