By Rusty Blades
There was an air of nostalgia at
the Blyth and District Community
Centre on St. Patrick's day as the
Blyth Midget Bulldogs hosted their
'Relive The Dream' Reunion
hockey game. The 71-72 Pee Wees
and the 92-93 Bantams squared off
in this FUNdraiser for the Bulldogs'
Lake Placid Cup Tournament trip
in mid-April.
The memories came flooding
back as these two Blyth OMHA
Championship teams highlighted a
very entertaining evening of fun
and fellowship. It was great to see
names like Marshall, Bromley,
Howson, McNichol, Pierce, Arthur
et al, once again grace the Blyth
ice.
The 71-72 Pee Wees showed the
92-93 Bantams a trick or two as
they kept their winning streak
intact with a 6-4 win.
Although it took him 23 years to
finally earn a regular shift, a well
rested Doug McClinchey led the
Pee Wee assault with two goals and
three assists. He claimed after the
game that if he had gotten this
-nuch ice time in '72 the final series
would have been a three game
sweep. He teamed with the
Bromley twins, Brad and Brian,
who played tic-tac-toe with the
puck all night long and each
notching a goal. Steve Howson,
Steve Bromley and Tom Pollard
formed the Pee Wees other line
with Pollard and Bromley denting
the twine.
The defensive pairings of Ken
Stewart, Dale Whitfield, Terry
Pierce and Phil Arthur were solid
throughout with the smoothness of
Arthur and Pierce still 'wowing'
them after all these years.
This brings us to goaltender
Sandy Marshall, who used
borrowed equipment, survived a
nervous start before stoning the
younger Bantams the rest of the
way.
Bench strategy was handled by
Coach Bill Rodger, Manager
Charlie Bromley, and Coach Ted
Williams, who guided this group in
Bantam as they finished as OMHA
Runnersup in 73-74.
Unable to make the game due to
previous commitments were Larry
Howatt, Keith Howatt, Terry
Powell and Garry Manning.
Joining current Bulldogs from
the 92-93 Bantam team were Jason
McDougall and Brian McNichol.
The management team consisted of
coach Wayne McDougall, assistant
coach Peter deJong, trainer, Al
Craig and manager Doug
Chamney. .
Scoring for the Bantams were
Christopher Howson, Brad
Anderson and Ryan Chamney with
two. Jason Rutledge was the big
playmaker with three helpers on the
evening.
Master of Ceremonies for the
Reunion game was. John Stewart
and he introduced long-time Blyth
hockey supporter Jack Lee who
dropped the ceremonial first puck.
Dave Cook and Doug Scrimgeour
enjoyed the refereeing experience,
once again proving that you don't
need 20/20 vision to be a
competent arbitrator.
There was just as much
excitement in the arena lobby
during the intermission as
auctioneer Burt Lobb squeezed
every last nickel out of four very
successful bidders in the
Memorabilia Auction. Jane
Bromley bought the NHL Players
