THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1993. Blyth Midgets glide to 10-5 win By Rusty Blades The Blyth Midgets played two games last week travelling to Wingham, Nov. 16 where they were bombed 10-3 then hosting Milverton on Nov. 19 turning the tables and playing an overpowering game, for a 10-5 victory. Against Wingham things started in Blyth's favour but the game turned ugly by the third period as Blyth's play totally fell apart. Ryan Chamney finished off Danny Gibbings and Jason Heipel's passing with the first goal as Blyth took a 1-0 lead in the second minute of the game. Less than a minute and a half later, Brian McNichol upped the count by two. He provided a hit at the Wingham blueline which caused a loose puck that Ben Hakkers relayed to McNichol. He then deked both the opposition's defenceman and the crease keeper before backhanding the puck along the ice and into the net. Wingham tied the game later in the period and put Blyth on the ropes with three unanswered second period tallies. Blyth, while enjoying a two man power play, inched to 5-3 early in the third as Heipel provided the thrills with assists to Chamney and McNichol. Blyth packed up and went home after the goal as Wingham scored five straight, including two shorthanded efforts, to easily outdistance fhe visitors. Blyth goaltender Chris Lee provided solid goaltending early but the defence abandoned him late in the game. Included in the game was a successful penalty shot stop by Blyth's Lee early in the first period. Against Milverton on Friday night, Blyth rebounded from a 3-0 first period deficit and used six power play goals to frustrate the Milverton squad. Chamney put Blyth on the scoreboard three seconds into a powerplay late in the first period as he won the faceoff to Wilfred Datema and then deflected Datema's shot into the net. Datema and Hakkers assisted on Blyth's second power play goal early in the second as Jonathan Collins picked up his own rebound and rifled a slapshot upstairs. Although Milverton scored next, the hometowners responded with three straight goals, including two more man-advantage efforts, to take their first lead of the game before the second period ended. Hakkers and Peter Craig assisted on Blyth's third goal as Chamney found a home for the rebound of Craig's point shot. Tim Cowan set the tying goal in motion as he sent Tim Lyons and Christopher Howson in on a two- on-one break with Lyons lighting the red light. Craig then got things rolling for the go-ahead goal. He passed to Chamney who rushed the puck, left a drop pass for Heipel to double pump a slapshot for a 5-4 lead with 15 seconds remaining. Two early third period powerplay goals by Chamney left little doubt as to who was going to win this contest. Lyons assisted on both while Heipel assisted on the first and Hakkers assisted on the second. The Milverton defence abandoned the goalie late in the game as Blyth controlled play in all zones and skated unmolested through the slot for three late goals. With just under four minutes to play Cowan set up Lyons. One minute later Heipel assisted on Chanmey's fifth goal of the game. The game scored was completed with 34 seconds remaining as Hakkers set up Heipel's shot from deep in the slot. Chamney re- directed the puck out of the air, past a weary visiting puckstopper for his sixth goal, and seventh point, of the game. This victory should provide some confidence for the team as they participate in the Wingham Regional Silver Stick Midget Tournament later this week.
