Rock Talk - By Bill Johnston
The Blyth Kings broomball team
travelled to Mildmay on Nov. 26 to
play the Jets.
Both Bantam teams hit the ice in
top form and played a very strong and
evenly-matched first period. Each
team had scoring opportunities, but
only Mildmay could get the ball in
the net, scoring against Blyth with
just one minute left in the first period.
Mildmay had a lucky break in the
second period when their player
scored a goal after chipping the ball
into the top comer of the net.
In the last 49 seconds of the game
there was lots of action in front of the
net. The Kings’ goalie, Derek
Logtenberg, stopped the first two
shots on the Blyth net, but couldn't
stop the third shot when he was
caught too far ahead of the net,
allowing the ball to roll over the goal
line.
The Kings played a very good
game, even though the score was a 3-
0 win for Mildmay.
Coach Jennifer Miltenberg named
Jordon Rinn and Brent Drost as co
winners of the Man of the Match title.
These two Blyth centre forwards
received this game's title for doing a
good job in making the shift changes
and playing their positions.
Tykes lose
The Blyth Tyke I team travelled to
Zurich for a Saturday afternoon
game. In the first part of the game
Blyth tried to get their game faces on.
Finally Justin Rodger scored, assisted
by Drew Bromley. /
Zurich had its fair share of scoring,
but Blyth came back with another
goal scored by Rodger, unassisted.
The third and final goal was scored
by Hunter Dale, unassisted. Blyth
took another loss.
Netminder for this matchup was
Chad Treble, who made some great
stops.
Blowing snow and blocked roads
wiped out all action all action in the
three Thursday leagues at the
Wingham Curling Club last week.

In the Monday daytime league
“Gone Hunting” Bill Deans came up
with a great spare in Keith Wemick
Elston and his team recorded a 7-4
victory over Irving Elliott. On ice
two Lloyd Wheeler came up with a
big six end in the fourth but the Mac
Inglis crew kept clawing back.
Down by one coming home without
the hammer they stole three for a 9-
7 victory.
Stewart Leedham kept his winning
ways as he downed Don Henry 9-3
for his perfect record of five wins for
five games.

Congratulations to the junior
curlers who competed in Zone
Playdowns in Kincardine on
Saturday, Nov. 19. The girls led by
skip Leanne Elston came out on top
and qualified to advance to the next
playdowns which took place in
Ripley on Nov. 25 and 26.
The boys played well but lost out
in the consolation finals in a close
one.
At Ripley on the weekend in the
ladies’ junior regional playdown the
Elston rink consisting of sister
Emily, Britney Horton, and Kayla
Bishop won the B side to advance to
the provincial finals to be held in
Scarborough Jan. 4 - 8. The winner
of the A side was Britanny O’Neil of
Burlington.
Think girls coach Keith Elston
was just a mite more excited than the
happy successful girls.

Rollers take on Polar Bears
The Blyth Rollers PeeWee
broomball team travelled to
Palmerston on Sunday, Nov. 27 to
play the Polar Bears.
The Rollers struggled in this game
as they just couldn’t get around
Palmerston’s strong defensive line to
score. Palmerston players were good
at chipping the ball up and over
Blyth players.
Jonathan Hakkers tended the
Blyth net for the first half of the
game. He stopped several shots
taken against him. However,
Palmerston was able to take a 4-0
lead at halftime.
Blyth’s Emily Uyl covered the net
in the second period. She made
several great saves. Palmerston was
able to get two more goals during
Girls begin
playdowns
The Saugeen Maitland AA Midget
girls hockey team played the first
game of playdowns to see who will
represent the Western Area of the
North Metro Girls Hockey League
in the Ontario Winter Games to be
held next March in Barrie. The game
was held in Milverton on Nov. 21
against the Stratford Aces.
The first goal of the game was
scored by Stacey Scholten on a pass
from Michelle Kittel. Stratford tied
the game and the score remained a
tie until the last five minutes when
Tara O’Reilly put one past the

the second period. The first goal was
scored after Uyl made the first save,
but Palmerston took a second shot
and tucked the ball into the right
corner of Blyth’s net. The second
goal occurred when there was too
much traffic in front of the net and
Uyl couldn’t get her eye on the ball.
The final score was 6-0 for
Palmerston.
After the second period was over
the teams practised 10 minutes of
overtime. In overtime the
goalkeepers are pulled and the teams
play four against four players. This
was a great way for these young
players to learn the rules of
overtime.
