Ironmen ground Goderich Flyers with a 6-1 win
After extending their season-
opening winning streak to seven
games with a victory over the
Goderich Flyers, the Wingham
Ironmen tied the Mount Forest
Patriots over the weekend, ending
the streak.
On Friday night the Flyers visited
Wingham, where the Ironmen came
out ahead in a 6-1 win.
The first period ended evenly, with
Goderich and Wingham both
marking goals in the first period.
Wingham’s Ryan Litt
(Palmerston) opened the game with
an unassisted goal.
Nolan Gagnier (Brucefield)
evened things up, earning a goal for
Goderich assisted by Eric Vander
Eyk (Listowel) and Kyle Langlois
(Goderich).
After the first period, however, the
Ironmen quickly scored insurance
goals, earning two more goals in the
second.
Logan Tolton (South Bruce)
scored just over a minute and a half
into the first, assisted by Liam
Melady (Seaforth) and Coleson
Fischer (Mildmay).
Later in the period, Tyson
Koopman (Palmerston) earned a
power-play goal assisted by Corey
Restoule (Kitchener) and Tolton.
In the third, Tolton earned a
second goal, this time on the power-
play, assisted by Restoule and
Koopman.
Tanner Reid (Kincardine) earned
the last two goals for the Ironmen.
The first was assisted by Dana Smith
(Atwood) and the second was a
shorthanded, unassisted goal.
Goderich spent significantly more
time in the penalty box than
Wingham with the Flyers being
penalized for 14 minutes over seven
infractions. The Ironmen served six
minutes on three infractions.
Goaltender Garrett Golley earned
the win for the Ironmen, stopping 27
of 28 shots. Spencer Lazarevich
played all 60 minutes for Goderich,
stopping 33 of 39 shots.
The Flyers also faced a tough
opponent in the Kincardine Bulldogs
on Sunday, losing 5-0 on home ice.
Goderich served eight minutes of
penalties on four infractions while
Kincardine served one penalty worth
two minutes.
Lazarevich played the majority of
the game for the Flyers, stopping 39
of 43 shots, while Jarod Fleming
finished the game as goaltender,
letting one goal in on one shot.
On Saturday, the Ironmen tied the
Patriots 3-3, ending Wingham’s
seven-game winning streak.
Wingham started off the game
with a goal from Rhys Vollmer
(Kincardine) assisted by Kyle
Stanbury (Goderich).
Mount Forest evened the score
before the second, then took a one-
goal lead in the second before
extending the lead with a third goal
33 seconds into the third, marking
three unanswered goals.
Koopman responded with a goal
assisted by Tolton, cutting the
Patriots’ lead in half.
After pulling the goalie, Wingham
was able to tie the game up with 16
seconds left in the game. Melady
earned the tying goal, assisted by
Vollmer and Brayden Fischer
(Teeswater).
Overtime proved fruitless as
neither team could capture the win.
Wingham served six penalties
totalling 12 minutes while Mount
Forest served eight minutes on four
penalties.
Devon Carson was the goalie for
Wingham, playing 66 minutes total
and saving 43 of 46 shots.
The Ironmen faced off against the
Mitchell Hawks on Oct. 9, but a
score wasn’t available at press time.
The squad next faces off against
Kincardine on Friday, Oct. 11, then
takes on the Patriots again on
Saturday, Oct. 12.

The Dektron Compressor at the
North Huron Aquatic Centre is in
dire need of a repair according to
North Huron staff that will cost the
municipality approximately
$30,000.
Vicky Luttenberger, Director of
Recreation and Community
Services, explained during council’s
Monday night meeting that the
compressor and refrigerant lines are
critical to the North Huron Wescast
Community Complex’s aquatic
centre. Only one of its two
compressors is operational and
several leaks have been discovered
in the refrigerant lines.
Luttenberger reported that the
compressor can’t be repaired and
needs to be replaced, so, under an
exception in the municipality’s
procurement policy, Luttenberger
started a work order to resolve the
issue.
If the remaining compressor fails,
Luttenberger said, the aquatic centre
will need to be closed temporarily.
The estimated cost for repairing
the existing unit is $30,000, which
will completely drain Luttenberger’s
department’s annual emergency
repairs budget of $20,000 and
require the remainder to come from
other projects, resulting in the
township deferring replacement of a
boiler in the complex until the 2020
budget year.
Luttenberger said that, within the
next five years, the entire Dektron
unit will reach the end of its life
cycle and need to be replaced at an
estimated cost of $250,000.
Council approved the repair and
necessary budget changes.
