Goderich started out strong, notching both an even-strength goal and a power-play goal in the first. Jack Stecho (Goderich) struck first for the Flyers, assisted by Kaden Hoggarth (Goderich). Mitch Fisher (Goderich) netted the power-play marker, assisted by Kyle Langlois (Goderich) and Trent Michie of Belgrave. The Hawks, however, wouldn’t take those goals lying down, earning one goal before the end of the first and then another four unanswered goals in the second period. Colton Quipp (Monkton) of The Flyers put an end to the assault with a goal, assisted by Chad Treble (Goderich). Parker Gibbings (Auburn) earned Goderich’s next marker, assisted by Michie and Jeff Fritzley (Seaforth). Before the end of the third, Griffin MacDonald (Clinton) marked another goal for the Flyers, assisted by Langlois and Cody Treble (Goderich). Entering the third, Quipp scored another goal, assisted by Hoggarth, before Mitchell would score their last goal of the game, and tying the score at six. Quipp earned his hat-trick, putting the Flyers ahead, assisted by MacDonald. Fritzley increased the Flyers’ lead by one, assisted by Hoggarth and Fisher. Finally, Hoggarth netted an unassisted empty-net marker. While the Flyers were putting plenty of ink on the game sheet, not much of it was used for penalties with the Flyers serving 11 minutes on five infractions. The Hawks served 27 minutes on nine infractions. Goaltending for the Flyers was split between starter Spencer Lazarevich, who played over 35 minutes, saving 16 of 21 shots, and Jarod Fleming, who got the win, stopping 16 of 17 shots. Goderich has a busy weekend on tap with a road game against Kincardine on Oct. 25, then hosting Mount Forest on Oct. 26 and finally hosting Mitchell on Oct. 27. Falling behind Home ice wasn’t enough for the Blyth Brussels PeeWee Rep Crusaders as the squad was felled by the Seaforth Stars 4-1 in Brussels on Saturday. The Crusaders will next face off against the Huron-Bruce Blizzard on Oct. 26 in Brussels. (Sandy Bergsma photo) Ironmen best Hawks, Barons The Wingham Ironmen edged out two opponents over the weekend, besting Walkerton in overtime and Hanover in regular time. On Oct. 20, the Ironmen required a single overtime period to beat the Walkerton Hawks 5-4. The two teams traded goals throughout the first three periods. Walkerton struck first in the opening period, but Wingham’s Kyle Stanbury (Goderich) responded, assisted by Chase Meurs (Kincardine). In the second period, Rhys Vollmer (Kincardine) put Wingham ahead, but by the end of the period, Kincardine had evened the score once again. Stanbury opened scoring in the third with his second of the game, assisted by Carter Collinson (Listowel). Walkerton jumped ahead with back-to-back goals before Stanbury, unassisted, tied the game and earned himself a hat-trick with less than 15 seconds left in the game. Less than 30 seconds into overtime, Collinson sealed Walkerton’s fate, scoring Wingham’s winning marker with an assist from Meurs. Walkerton earned four minutes and a game misconduct on three penalties while Wingham was assessed four minutes on two infractions. Goaltender Zack Harrow secured the win for Wingham, stopping 20 of 24 shots. On Friday, Oct. 18, the Ironmen edged out the Hanover Barons 4-3. Hanover earned the only marker in the first period with a power-play goal. Wingham responded in the second with Hayden Robinson of Belgrave putting the Ironmen on the board, assisted by Collinson and Vollmer. Vollmer then netted a power-play marker assisted by Collinson and Liam Melady (Seaforth). Hanover responded with a power- play goal before Wingham’s Corey Restoule (Kitchener) put the Ironmen ahead by one at the end of the second. In the third, Wingham’s Logan Tolton (South Bruce) scored the Ironmen an insurance goal, assisted by Melady and Collinson. The insurance goal was needed as Hanover netted the last goal of the game with less than 10 seconds left in the third. The match was a rough one for scorekeepers as Wingham was assessed 42 penalty minutes on 18 infractions. Hanover saw 39 minutes on 16 infractions. Harrow earned the win for the Ironmen, stopping 23 of 25 saves. Garrett Golley also spent time between the pipes for the Ironmen, stopping four of five shots. The Ironmen travel to Mitchell on Oct. 25 and are on the road again on Oct. 26, taking on Walkerton. Cottrills bring bonspiel home Continued from page 1 to turn teams away past that number,” Shawn said. “The Wingham facility is better set up for a bigger event, which is letting it grow.” The Belgrave couple is making a conscious effort to bring events close to home and represent and support the Wingham Curling Club. The Part II Bistro Ladies Classic will be held at the Wingham Golf and Curling Club from Nov. 29 to Dec. 1, welcoming not only top-tier curlers to the centre but also anyone looking for a good dinner and to take in some of that curling. “It’s kind of an elite-level women’s curling event,” Shawn said. “We have, at this point, 21 teams confirmed. One team is from the United States, two or three are from Quebec and the rest are from across Ontario.” The event brings some significant talent out, Shawn said, and brings high-calibre competition to the Wingham Golf and Curling Club. “We’re really excited because Wingham is the perfect facility to host an event of a bigger scale like this,” Shawn said. “The members are super receptive to it and look forward to it being hosted at the club.” Katie started the competition five years ago when she was playing in more women’s events. More recently, she and Shawn have focused on their doubles curling, leading to them represent the province earlier this year at the national competition. While the event runs all day Friday, Saturday and Sunday, the dinner being prepared by Part II Chef Peter Gusso is set for Saturday night from 5:30-7:30 p.m. While Gusso and his restaurant have been the food sponsor for years, this year the Cottrills decided to rename the competition after the Part II Bistro. The event will feature live music on Nov. 30, as well as lunch available for purchase each day. A Calcutta-style fundraising silent auction will also be held, allowing for teams to be “bought” for the tournament. The “owner” of the winning team will take 60 per cent of the pot with 20 per cent going to the “owner” of the runner-up squad. The remaining 20 per cent will go to the Wingham Golf and Curling Club. The auction is open from Nov. 1 to Nov. 29 at the Wingham Golf and Curling Club. Tickets for the dinner are available at the Wingham club or by e-mailing Shawn at shawn_cottrill@tnt21.com.
