The Oil Can Man
The Saugeen Maitland Women’s
Bantam A A team headed to Buffalo
for their season opener against the
Buffalo Bisons.
In a scoreless first period the
Bisons pressed with a good portion
of the play in the Lightning’s'end. By
the end of the period, Saugeen was
starting to get rolling and came close
when Heather Walker (Durham)
broke through the defence and the
Bison’s goalie came up with a big
save to keep the Lightning off the
board.
Early in the second, Candice
Robertson (Harriston) closed the
door a little too hard on the Bison
winger breaking in along the boards
and found herself sitting for two min
utes. Buffalo tested a still in-progress
penalty killing squad but the girls
survived with solid net minding by
Terri Allen (Walkerton).
The game started to open up after
that and after failing to capitalize on
a Bison penalty earlier, Saugeen
Maitland opened the scoring on a
power play goal with 29 seconds left
on the clock. With a feed from
Jocelyn Carter, Walker
(Southampton) went to the net with
the puck, got a shot and amid
sprawled bodies, Krista Cameron
(Cargill) darted in and scooped the
rebound over a crumpled goalie.
Back and forth action in the third
with close calls at both ends kept the
tension high. Buffalo couldn’t get
anything past Allen with a power
play mid-way in the period and the
Lightning won in a squeaker 1-0.
The rest of the team comprises
Brittany Roberts, Amanda Hill
(Markdale), Katrina Whytock
(Teeswater), Jessica Mann
(Lucknow), Brittany Kellington
(Brussels), Crystal Ferguson (Mount
Forest), Bridget Shedden
(Kincardine) and Jackie Zacher
(Walkerton). Coaches are Andy
Shedden and Jim Roberts.
The Saugeen Maitland Women’s
Hockey Association helps to provide
a venue for the girls of Western
Ontario to develop to the highest
level of women’s hockey in Ontario
at their age level. This isn’t possible
in the small towns and communities
because of their population levels.
So if you’re going out for a drive
this Sunday, Oct. 22 stop at the girls’
home rink at Howick Community
Centre on Hwy. 87 between
Fordwich and Gorrie and support
the team who are hosting a double
header with Niagara Falls at 11:30
a.m. and 4:15 p.m.
