The Citizen, 1997-03-12, Page 11Juvenile play
The Creemore goalie has his ear to the ground and his
eye on the puck as the Brussels Juvenile appears to have
the upper hand in this contest at the net during the OMHA
playoff game on Friday night. The outcome is up in the air
as the team awaits details of a protest apparently made
from the visiting squad.
Brussels Juries
in unique series
Game three of the OMHA Juve
nile "D" was played in Brussels on
Friday night against Creemore.
From the opening face-off it was a
fast-paced, hard hitting contest.
Brussels opened the scoring on a
goal by Tim Machan. This goal
held up until the third when
Creemore replied to even the score
and send the game into overtime.
The fast pace continued in over
time with both teams having good
scoring opportunities, but the game
ended in a tie.
Saturday night Brussels had two
buses travel to Creemore for game
four. The team was advised by
OMHA that game three was being
protested due to an ineligible Brus
sels player.
This game started as a repeat of
game three with both teams playing
good playoff hockey. As the game
progressed, however, things turned
bad, Assistant Coach Keith Mulvey
said. "I think the officials have for
gotten to let the boys play hockey
and not get invovled".
Creemore had built up a 3-0 lead
into the third period. With 20 sec
onds remaining and the face-off in
the Creemore end, Mulvey said, the
linesman threw the puck into the
Brussels end of the ice. "Players on
both teams could not believe what
had happened. Both teams started
pushing and shoving with the result
that Brussels received in excess of
160 minutes in penalties and
Creemore received two minutes.
"We must have been fighting our
selves," said Mulvey.
Until the paperwork is done the
outcome of this series is unknown.
"It is really too bad," said Mulvey.
"There has been no animosity
between these teams. They get
along and have spoken to each
other before the game. The refs just
seem to have forgotten who plays
the game."

Wingham team leads playoff series
The Wingham PeeWees hold a
two games to none lead in their
WOAA final series against
Lucknow. Following a 6-1 decision
in Lucknow last Monday, the
Wingham squad scored a 6-3 win
to take the series lead.
The third game in the best of five
series was played Monday in
Lucknow. Geoff Lindsay joined
Tyson Glassier as a forward due to
an injury to Jake Henderson. Zane
Davies rejoined the team as the
backup goalie.
In the first period, Kent McPher
son scored two from Zachary
O'Krafka and Curtis Knight to give
Wingham a 2-0 advantage. Justin
Campbell made it 3-0 for Wingham
with help from Matthew Dinning
before Jeff McNee scored for
Lucknow from Luke Van Osch and
Rick Andrew.
Dinning made it 4-1 early in the
second period with O'Krafka
getting the assist. However,
Lucknow got to within one by the
end of the period as McNee scored
from Andrew and Bob Raymond
tallied from Brian Stanley.
McPherson restored a two-goal
lead for Wingham with O'Krafka
getting the assist.
Wingham went on a power play,
pressed too hard and gave up two
brcak-aways, but James Needham
was equal to the shots to preserve
the two-goal margin.
Wingham took a penalty in the
final three minutes of the game and
Lucknow did not pull their goalie
for a two skater advantage. Dinning
on a solo rush, made it 6 - 3 late in
the game.
The opening game was all
Wingham as Justin Campbell and
Glassier, fired two goals apiece.
Jamie Chester and O'Krafka added
singles.
Blyth Atoms take it to the end
The Blyth Atom Rep hockey club
season came to an end on March 3
in Wallace Twp.
The Blyth squad were eliminated
by Wallace in three games in the
WOAA finals. Blyth did not go
without a fight, being in every
game against a well-balanced
Wallace Club.
Blyth dropped the first game of
the series 3-2. Andy Toll scored
both Blyth goals with assists going
to Tyler Kernighan, Ryan
McClinchey and Mike Bean.
In game two in Blyth the teams
put on a defensive show. Wallace
scored late in the first period and
that score held up until Wallace
scored again with three minutes left
in the game. They added an empty-
net goal to win 3-0.
Blyth returned to Wallace for
game three. Blyth were trailing 4-3
when Wallace scored on a
breakaway with 1:06 left in the
game. Blyth seemed to be back in
the game when they scored in the
next shift, only to have it waved off
by an early whistle. That ended
Blyth's comeback as Wallace
scored an empty-net goal and
added another with 17 seconds left.
Cole Stewart scored twice for
Blyth and a single went to Steve
Van Amersfoort. Kirk Stewart
chipped in three assists along with
Micah Loder and C. Stewart.
Eric Jarrett and Justin Peters
provided stellar goaltending in a
losing cause.
Team officials, Chad Haggilt,
Doug McClinchey and Barney
Stewart, would like to thank the
boys for a great season.
