Tavistock nips Midgets
The Blyth Tykes gave a great
effort against Stephen Township in
Huron Park on Saturday, Feb. 26,
yet suffered a 3-0 loss.
Brett Bean played a good game
in net for Blyth. He made some
good saves and allowed few
rebounds or opportunities for
Stephen to capitalize
Unfortunately, Bean couldn't stop
K. Masse who obtained the hat-
trick.
Taylor Hesselwood and Sandy
Hay made some key defensive
plays as they cleared the zone,
passing to forwards, Darcey Cook
and Josh Albrechtas. These
on.

beginners, who were playing for
the absent Tyke players gave great
effort and made nice passes and
shots on net.
Christopher Bernard hustled hard
throughout the game initiating
some rushes by Blyth. Cody and
Luke Anderson and Ryan
McClinchey played aggressive
double shifts in both the offensive
and defensive zones.
This team effort was
complimented by Tammy Root,
who stopped some rushes along the
boards in the losing effort.
All players should be recognized
for their diligent play and hard
work as they kept the game close
and did not allow Stephen to
dominate.

The Blyth Midgets were
eliminated from their OMHA
playoffs last weekend as they were
shaded 3-2 by Tavistock at home
on Feb. 25. They put in a gritty
performance but, in the end, they
came up just a little short.
Tavistock opened the scoring
with the only first period score four
and a half minutes into the match.
Blyth tied the game with the only
second period marker as they
notched a power play goal four
minutes into the period. Ryan
Chamney carried the puck deep
into the Tavistock zone and passed
off to Jason Heipel who fired one at
the goal. The puck was partially
stopped and it lay on the goal line
Christopher Howson's long reach
pushed the disc across the line.
The score remained deadlocked
at 1-1 until Tavistock took the lead
four minutes into period three.
They upped the count to 3-1 with
six and a half minutes left in the
third while enjoying a man
advantage. Their two goal lead was
short lived as Blyth responded with
a short handed goal 34 seconds
later to creep back to within a goal.
Heipel provided the thrills with a
tremendous individual effort as he
carried the puck past a couple of
opposition defenders before deking
the cage keeper and slipping the
puck home.
Blyth put up a fight until the end

but they were unable to tie the
game which would have sent the
contest into overtime. Tavistock
hung on for a 3-2 win which gave
them the series, seven points to one
point, and advances them further
into OMHA playdowns.
Blyth can also be proud of their
accomplishments this season as
well. With the addition of three
players from Clinton the OMHA
bumped the Midgets up to the 'C'
Division from their usual 'E'
Division for the playoffs. They
played their best hockey of the
season in sweeping both Milverton
and Wiarton on their way to the
WOAA Midget 'C' Championship.
Their determined efforts
continued against Tavistock even
though they only gained a tie out of
the four game series. Hopefully a
couple of other Blyth minor hockey
teams can join the Midgets this
season by winning a WOAA
Championship and advancing into
OMHA competition.
