Biyth's first Pee Wee OMHA E
Champions from the 1971-72 team
were rehonoured for their
contribution to the town’s minor
hockey program when the Auburn
Lions Club recently presented the
hockey association with a
professionally framed portrait of
the team and its individual players.
Since its win the team has only
had an 8x10 black and white team
photo on the wall, which was
typical for the day, but recently
championship teams have over
taken the walls with larger, colour
displays of their teams.
Feeling that it was long-overdue
for the 1971-1972 team to be
honoured on the same scale, Doug
Chamney brought the idea of
mounting a display of the team to
his Lions Club in Auburn.
Chamney has been involved in
Blyth Minor Hockey for several
years
“There was a large Auburn
presence on the team, and we felt
this was something our club could
do,” he said, noting that four
players and their coach. Bill
Rodger all lived in the Auburn
area.
Hawks win 7-1
The Wingham PeeWee Girl
Hawks played a very strong game
against Clifford, Dec. 30, outscor
ing the home team 7-1.
The combination of Brittany
Campbell and Laura Ritchie was
hot in the first, hitting for three in
the last seven minutes. Campbell
had the hattrick with Ritchie earn
ing two assists.
The pair reversed the role in the
second when Ritchie put the puck
over the line at the 7:40 mark. Just
Luckily, said Chamney the club
was assisted by Steve Bromley who
played on the team. He was able to
provide the Lions Club with
individual colour photos of every
player sitting on the bench holding
the trophies.
25 seconds later, Campbell got the
puck from Victoria Whitfield for
the goal.
Rachel Elliott added one in the
second, taking the pass from Nicole
Stewart and Michelle Cook.
At 9:33 of the third, Stewart got
the puck to Cook who notched the
team’s seventh.
Allison Quenell had another
strong game between the pipes,
only losing her shutout with less
than four minutes remaining.
