Blyth Bantams tied in WOAA championship series BY RUSTY BLADES The Blyth Bantams had another busy week of hockey as they elimi­ nated Zurich in the deciding game of the series, then entertained Nor- manby in the W.O.A.A. Bantam E finals. Blyth hosted Zurich on February 24 in the fifth and final game of the series as they turned a close game into a rout with a late flurry of goals for a 7-3 clincher. Blyth led 2-1 after one period with Michael Bromley notching both Blyth goals, with his second assisted by Tim Lyons and Ryan Chamney. After a scoreless frame Zurich grabbed a 3- 2 lead with just under 10 minutes left in the game. Michael de Jong and Brian McNichol set up Jerrod Button's tying goal with six and a half min­ utes left and then Michael Bromley assisted on Tim Lyon's winning goal 28 seconds later. Brian McNichol scored an insur­ ance goal with two and a half min­ utes left before Michael Bromley's hat-trick goal with just under two minutes to play sealed the victory. Jerrod Button assisted on the McNichol goal while Tim Lyons had a hand in Bromley's third marker. The victory was complete with 27 seconds remaining as Michael Bromley stole the puck at centre ice and slid home a short- handed, empty-net goal. This victory propelled Blyth into Belgrave Novices win second Houseleague playoffs series In two straight games the Bel­ grave Houseleague Novice team put Clinton out of the second round of playoffs. On Saturday, Feb. 22 the team travelled to Clinton for the first game in a best of three series. The first period saw Belgrave's goal­ lender Mathew Snow with no shots on net, but Clinton's goalie made one outstanding save after another to hold Belgrave to a one goal lead, scored by winger Aaron Himmel- man from a play by forward Tim Brussels council concerned about water Brussels village councillors expressed concern with the amount of drain water getting into the sani­ tary sewer system from private drains. Councillors discussed the situa­ tion with Henry Rouw, manager of the sanitary sewer system for the Ministry of Environment. Mr. Rouw pointed out that the bylaw passed by the village at the time the system was installed, says that no water from a storm system may be discharged into the sanitary system. It's up to the village to police the by-law, he said. Under questioning Mr. Rouw told council that when there is a heavy rain, the flow volume goes up at the sewage treatment plant. In early spring the flow may be dou­ ble the normal flow. Still, since the plant is working at less than half of capacity the problem is not crucial at this point although it does increase costs of treatment. The vil­ lage pays a flat rate, however, not a rate based on the amount of sewage treated. "That kind of business should be nipped before it gets to be plenti­ ful," Reeve Gordon Workman said about the drains that are running into the system. Mr. Rouw said that cellar drains running into the sys­ tem are not particularly a problem but councillors said they’ve heard of several drains where the perime­ ter drain of the foundation had been hooked into the cellar drain, send­ ing storm water into the system.

The second period wasn't as fast- paced. Belgrave's goalie made some good saves, one on a break­ away. The only goal was scored off a pass from Kyle Anderson to Justin Campbell by Tim Robinson. The third period saw Belgrave coming on strong to control the game even as both sides began to show signs of tiring. Once again the Clinton goalie came up with picture perfect saves. Mathew had fewer shots to con­ tend with and had another break­ away save to come away with the shut out. Tim Robinson scored again in the third unassisted. On Feb. 28 Belgrave hosted Clin­ ton in Brussels. It was an exciting game with Belgrave goalie Aaron Bakker getting a shut-out as the visitors couldn't hold off the Bel­ grave attack. Aaron Himmelman scored from a pass by Justin Campell in the first period. The second period was scoreless but Matthew Cameron started things of in the third off a pass by Craig Marks, who came back to score a goal in the last two minutes of play. Belgrave is now waiting their final playoff series. Jack & Margaret Hulley Happy 57th Anniversary March 9th the W.O.A.A. finals as they opened the series in Ayton on February 27 against Normanby. Once again a third period goal explosion gave Blyth the opening game win, this time by a 5-3 score. After a scoreless first, Normanby had a 2-1 edge in goals after two periods. Michael Bromley deposit­ ed a rebound for Blyth's first goal with assists to Peter Craig and Ryan Chamney. Michael Bromley and Tim Lyons set up the third period tying goal as Michael de Jong's screened point shot found the twine. Some slick passing led to two Jerrod Button goals one minute apart to give Blyth the edge. Jonathan Collins and Brian McNi­ chol assisted on his first while McNichol and Michael Bromley helped out on his second. Thirteen seconds after Button's last goal, a creative rush by Michael de Jong resulted in a goal by Benjie Hakkers as Hakkers tipped in de Jong's pass out in front. Although Normanby later scored a power play goal, the stellar goal­ tending of Chris Lee sealed this 5-3 victory. Blyth hosted Normanby for game two on February 29 and although the effort was there, Normanby evened the series by shading Blyth 5-4. The teams traded first period markers with the visitors opening the game scoring. Brian McNichol won the faceoff from centre and fed Jerrod Button in the slot as Button tied the game after only seven sec­ onds had elapsed. The teams once again traded goals in the second with Brian McNichol depositing a drop pass from Michael Bromley for Blyth's goal. After Normanby took an early 3- 2 third period lead, McNichol once again tied the score as he picked up a Michael Bromley rebound and drilled the puck into the open net. Normanby kept plugging away and took a 4-3 lead with six and a half minutes remaining. The score stayed that way until Blyth pulled their goalie in the final minute. Normanby seemed to seal the win with an empty net goal with 23 sec­ onds remaining but Blyih had other plans. Blyth flooded the offensive zone which resulted in Michael Bromley setting up Brian McNi­ chol, who scored with 11 seconds left. This cut the lead to 5-4 and, although they had one last attempt at sending the game into overtime, Normanby escaped with a 54 win and a 1-1 scries tie in games. Game three was played in Blyth on Monday with game four going in Ayton on Thursday, March 5 at 7 o'clock. Game five, if necessary, will be in Blyth on Sunday, March 8 at 4:30.
