Sports President hosts curling club meeting The Brussels Crusaders had a tough time defending their net, as they battled to a 7-1 loss against Lucan in their game at home on Friday night. (Vicky Bremner photo) Ironmen take on archrivals By Lindsay Kulas Wingham Advance Times The Wingham Ironmen went up against one of their arch-rivals, the Bulldogs when they travelled to Kincardine last Friday evening, Oct. 8 for a 4-3 win. Ironmen coach, Louie Livingston says that this game was among the Ironmen's top games against these tough competitors, with 49 shots on net. Ryan Fry started the scoring for the evening, sending the puck past the Bulldog goalie less than five minutes into the first period. Earning assists were Zack Graham and Matt McCann. The second period proved to be fruitful as they stepped onto the ice with a 1-0 lead and followed it up with two power play goals. Justin Russell scored the second gOal for the Ironmen at 5:07, assisted by Mike Weber and Devin McGuire, while Jamie Chester sent in the third, helped along by McGuire and Matt McPhee. Kincardine placed a goal past Kurt Edwards in the Ironmen net, still trailing 3-1 at the end of period two. The boys spent some time in the penalty box, racking up 10 minutes off ice for each of the two periods. The Bulldogs made a strong attempt in the third, scoring two goals just over a minute into the period, leaving the score even at three. Cole Stewart made an effort and it paid off with a goal only a couple of minutes later. Earning an assist was captain, Zack O'Krafka. The final score was 4-3 in favour of the Wingham team which now stands at five wins, one loss and one tie for the season. The Ironmen took on the Alliston Hornet, Oct. 9 on home ice in the North Huron-Wescast Community Complex, dominating the ice to a frustrating 1-1 final score. Enthusiasm rose as the Ironmen shot a puck into the outside netting of the goal in the first period. With a no-score first period, both teams had to pick up the shots-at-net, ending the first with a total of 13. Nearing the end of the period the Ironmen kept the Hornets defense system on high. The visitors barely missed a half-open Ironmen net in the last minutes of the period. The beginning of the second period had those in attendance seeing a much more evenly played game, as the Hornets moved the puck away from their net more regularly. The Ironmen continued the push as good passing and power- skating allowed Justin Russell to sink a goal at an even 13:00 left in the period, with help from Ryan Fry. The Hornets worked hard to even the score, doing so less than four minutes later. As the players intensified their focus and those on the bench became more vocal, the Ironmen put pressure on the opposition, rarely allowing the Hornets to move the puck out of their end. Shot after shot, the Ironmen failed to place the puck in the goal and they returned to the ice for the third period, still tied at one. A hard-played third period brought no relief for either team as they dug deep for five minutes of overtime play. An Ironmen victory seemed a sure thing as the players acted on many chances at the Hornet net, only to be denied. Jason Blinkhorn saved 33 shots for the Ironmen, matching the shots they took at Alliston. The night ended in a tie, even though according td coach Louie Livingston, "we outchanced, outplayed them, everything." Livingston says that having a strong goalie in Blinkhorn and experienced defencemen will be the advantages for the Ironmen this year. "Tonight, we just had trouble putting the puck in the net," explains Livingston. One of the difficulties this year, is the addition of eight teams into the league, including Alliston. "We don't have a background on the new teams," states Livingston, who will be studying the strengths and weaknesses of the newest opponents. Crusaders host minor hockey players The Brussels Crusaders will be having minor hockey night this coming Friday at the BMG arena as the team plays host to the Clinton Radars.
