While the Arthur goalie strains to keep his eye on the puck, a Brussels Crusader moves in
on the scrambling defenseman. This game, played Saturday night, proved to be the undoing
of the visiting Arthur team as the Crusaders nudged them from playoff action.

Blyth Novices win, lose
in Teeswater playoffs
A Rick Boon point shot found
the net at 8:34 of overtime giving
the Brussels Crusaders a 6-5 win
and four game sweep of the Arthur
Tigers in WOAA Senior A hockey
action.
Ron Strome with two, Corey
McKee, Tim Fritz and Brian
Campbell, also scored for Brussels
who trailed 2-0 after one period,
scored five goals in the second
period for a 5-3 lead, then allowed
Arthur to score twice in the third to
force overtime.
The Crusaders received excellent
goaltending throughout the series,
including an unbelievable sliding
save by Pat Cronin late in the game
to preserve the tie and force
overtime, when 12 seconds into an
Arthur powerplay, the Crusaders
requested and won a stick
measurement call forcing a Tiger
defenceman into the penalty box. It
was while playing four on four the
Crusaders scored the series ending
goal.
Tuesday in Arthur, Steve Fritz
enjoyed a four point game in
leading the Crusaders to a 10-3
win. Tom McDonald and Phil
Livermore each scored twice with
singles by Fritz, Campbell, Mike
MacKay, Greg Mulvey, Strome and
McKee. The Crusaders broke open
a close game with four unanswered
second period goals for a 7-1 lead.
Friday the Crusaders returned to
Arthur and survived a 6-4 win. The
game was extremely chippy and
physical with 152 minutes in
penalties. JC Hewitt and Brent
Vandenakker scored two each with
Strome and Tim Fritz adding
singles.
The Crusaders scored with 19
seconds remaining in the first for a
2-1 lead, 36 seconds left in the
Blyth Novices are tied one game
to one in their playoff series against
Teeswater this past week.
On Feb. 13, the squad travelled
to Teeswater and edged the home
team by 3-2.
After the hosts got on the board
in the first, Tyler Kernighan, off a
play by Cody Anderson, tied it with
just a little over a minute left in the
period.
Both teams were shutout in the
second, then Teeswater once again
took the lead in the third at the
3:30. An unassisted goal by Brett
Bean just a minute later sent this
nailbiter into overtime. Blyth
clinched the win when a pass from
Luke Anderson to Bean, who hand-
ed off to Cody Anderson found its
mark.
Two days later Blyth met the
club in a home contest and sent
them home with a 3-0 shutout.
It was a tense match up through
two, with neither team able to
sneak one past the opponent's
goalie. Then Teeswater turned on
the heat in the third to score three.
Blyth, unfortunately couldn't find
the twine.
The third matchup was Monday
in Blyth, while Tuesday they faced
off in Teeswater.
