The squad met Brussels, Dec. 21, for what turned into a blow-out. With only one netter by the hometown team, off the stick of Josh Albrechtas, Blyth took the 7-1 loss. Dec. 23 saw the start of the Hen- sall tournament, where Blyth met a very tough Elma-Logan team as their first opponent. The lone Blyth goal was scored by Ryan McClinchey, with assis- tance from Nathan Witherspoon and Tyler Kemighan. Blyth went down 10-1. The squad got their legs in the second matchup when they took on Hensall. The Blyth Midget Bulldogs split a pair of league games last week as they let a victory slip away against the Zurich Thunder on Jan. 5, losing 6-5 before stealing a victory in Goderich on Jan. 11 edging the Sailors 7-5. Against Zurich, the Bulldogs let a comfortable 5-2 lead evaporate in the third as the Zurich Thunder notched the game's final four goals to steal a 6-5 win. Mike Haggitt assisted on the game's opening goal as Kyle Anderson scored on a shifty backhand shot. Haggitt and Jamie Black then helped give Blyth a 2-0 lead as Corey Campbell finished off a two-on-one rush. Zurich rebounded to tie the game 2-2 before the first period ended, but the Midgets responded with the only two goals in the second period to take a 4-2 lead after two. Jon Kochis set up Haggitt for the goal that gave Blyth a 3-2 lead five minutes into the second. Twenty- six seconds later the line of Anderson, Jeff Cowan and Mike Courtney went to work with Cowan lighting the red light after turning the Zurich Defenceman inside-out with some deft dekes. This same trio gave Blyth their 5- 2 lead 39 seconds into the third as Cowan one-timed Anderson's behind-the-net pass through a maze of legs and into the twine. Zurich caught Blyth napping and tied the game with three goals in the next three minutes before notching the game winner with six minutes and 30 seconds left in. the game. Kernighan bulged the twine for Blyth, at 3:16 of the first. Hensall retaliated before the buzzer to tie the score. A Kernighan goal in the second pushed the squad ahead only to lose it late in the third. Brett Bean earned an assist. Blyth sealed the win with a sud- den death overtime goal with 4:16 remaining. Darren Austin, assisted by Kernighan, popped it in. Blyth's turn of fortune would not hold out as they were shut out by West Lorne, 9-0, in their final game. They were named B division run- ners-up. The new year started on a better note when they visited Clinton, Jan. 3. Off the mark early, Cody Ander- son scored at 11:05 of the first, fol- Blyth enjoyed a two-man power play for the final 37 seconds of the game and also pulled their goalie for an extra attacker, but the buzzer sounded to end the game, enabling Zurich to skate home with a well deserved come-from-behind victory. Blyth almost returned the favour against Goderich but used three goals in the final 1:07 of play to fend off an embarrassing defeat, winning 7-5. Goderich took a 2-0 lead after three minutes of play but the Dogs responded to take a 3-2 lead by the end of the first period. The line of Campbell, Cowan and Courtney did the damage as Cowan opened the scoring before Courtney gave Blyth the lead with his first two goals of the game. They each also garnered a first period assist while Campbell counted two assists. Goderich tied the game 3-3 with the only second-period goal to set up a wild third frame. Although the third period was 15 minutes long, the Midgets were content to only put an effort into the final four minutes. They allowed Goderich to take an early 5-3 lead before mounting their late game offensive assault. Darryl Bromley started the comeback on a Blyth power play with four minutes remaining as he set up Cory Bragg's blast from the blueline. Cowan did much of the corner work by assisting on the Bulldogs' final three goals, first by setting up Mike Ansley's game equalizer with 1:07 left on the lowed by Witherspoon, to take a 2-1 lead. Taylor Hesselwood and Kemighan assisted. Up 3-1 with five minutes left in the second period, off a goal by Kernighan, Clinton drew closer before the frame ended. Bean pushed Blyth's lead to 4-1 early in the third before Clinton once again narrowed the gap. With a netter by Kernighan in the dying minutes, Blyth locked up the 5-3 win. Other assists went to Darcy Cook, Chris Bernard, Anderson, Kernighan, Bean and Austin. The squad suffered a 10-2 loss against Milverton, Jan. 8. Kernighan scored both Blyth goals while assists went to Cook, Bean, Albrechtas and Witherspoon. clock. Cowan and Ansley then set up the winning goal with only 27 seconds, remaining as Courtney scored to notch his hattrick. Cowan wasn't finished as he also assisted on the insurance goal as Campbell drilled the puck top shelf. Although a full effort is needed on most nights, the Bulldogs were fortunate to record the win with a poor effort right up until the game's dying minutes. Against better teams the results would have been different but on Sunday night their late game heroics enabled the Bulldogs to steal a 7-5 victory. C The news from ranbrook P.
