Young Pups show up ’Dogs
The last game of the season tor
the Blyth Beginners proved to be
one of the most exciting of the year
for them.
After remaining unbeaten during
the 98/99 hockey season the Pups
decided they could take on a more
seasoned team and challenged the
Bantam Bulldogs to a game. The
Bantams, OMHA finalists, were up
for the venture, or so they thought.
Before the game proceeded an
equipment change was called for
which brought many a Bantam to
their knees.
The referees, Don Scrimgeour
and Rick Finch, kept the game as
clean as possible, although the
penalty box was always full. Pat
Cronin, Beginner coach and goalie
for this game, kept the scoring to a
minimum of a lucky lone goal as he
turned the Bantams away at the net
numerous times taking quite a
pounding for his efforts.
The Beginners converted six
goals against Ryan (The Cat) Lee
to soundly trounce the Bantams.
The Beginner team consists of
Adam Cronin, Matt Chalmers,
Grant Sparling, Kirby Cook, Lukas
Witherspoon, Tyler Middegaal,
Connor Prescott, Trevor Raynard,
Scott Sippel, Tyler Black, Aaron
and Matthew Popp, Tyler
Stevenson and Colin Whitfield.
Coaching staff includes Pat Cronin,
Derek Cook, Jim Middegaal and
Dwight Chalmers.
The past year has been a great
developing experience for the fans
and players alike and one can only
wonder what's in store for these
boys in their hockey future!
After the Beginner game loss the
Bantams had an exhibition game
against Teeswater where their
losing streak continued. The final
score was 7-5 in Teeswater's
favour.
Player of the game for Blyth was
Paul Walker who posted a goal and
three assists.
