Well, in fact, it was to be gold! Goderich dominated their division at the tournament including the gold med- al match that progressed without inci- dent, until near the end of the game. In the game's dying seconds, Goderich leading 4-3, the Richmond Hill team pulled their goalie and made one final rush at the Goderich net.

SKATING CLUB ich had won! However about four sec- onds after the buzzer sounded a goal had been scored. Officials at the game counted it, ty- ing up the game. It was clear to the coaches, parents and even the Richmond Hill parents Goderich had clearly won. An overtime period was needed. Early on, and only nine seconds apart, Goderich was penalized twice, resulting in Richmond Hill scoring and taking gold. However, Monday morning follow- ing the match, coach Todd Stanbury recieved word from the President of Ringette Richmond Hill, who attended the game, that the decision had been re- versed and Goderich was awarded the gold medal. Novices add to Goderich ringette gold The Goderich Novice ringette team won all four of their games " to win the `B' Minor division at a recent Richmond Hill tourna- ment. After some pre -game jitters in their opener against the home team, the Goderich girls got off to a great start and pulled away from Richmond Hill with a 9-2 win. The Petites added to the deaf- ening noise of the crowd by en- thusiastically cheering on their younger counterparts. The second game was Saturday morning against Markham. Early in the game the Goderich girls knew that they were up against some very good goaltending. The Markham netminder stopped shot after shot after shot. Persistence paid off with the Goderich girls finishing the game with a 6-3 win. ,.......pile s,•..,.h. V.

The third game for the Novice girls on Saturday night had them up against Markham again for a do-or-die game. Our girls knew that they would really have to work to get the ring past the sol- id Markham goalie. As it worked out, the Petites were also play- ing at the same time in the same arena on the opposite connected rink. Both Goderich teams some- how managed to score the first goal of each game at the same time. The Petites pulled off a 3-1 victory just minutes before the Novice girls were finished and came over in full equipment to rally them on. At this point the Novice game was a bit of a nail -biter with a 5-3 score in favour of our Goderich girls, but Markham was coming on very strong. The crowd got so loud at the end of the game that the players on the ice didn't even realize that the game was over. Goderich held on for a 5-4 win. The fourth and final game was early Sunday morning for the Novice team against Mississau- ga. By the end of the first period the Goderich squad was playing very strong and had a 3-1 lead. They kept up this pace through- out the second period and came out with the 7-3 victory for the gold medal. The Novice team consists of: Haillie Stothers, Courtney Sowerby, Sage Milne, Kendra Mechenton, Bryn Lewis, Nerena Goud, Sarah Glenn, Chloe Field, Chloe Ferguson, Megan Dunn and Megan Bettles. Bantam Sailorettes advance in playoffs On Thursday, at the Maitland Recreational Centre, Stratford edged the Bantam Sailorettes 2-1 in post=season play. Ali Frayne scored the lone Goderich goal of the evening with an as- sist from Michelle Kelly in the first period. The Sailorettes played a tight defensive game that kept the top-ranked Stratford offense to two goals. Brooke Guikema on defence blocked a number of shots. Jaden Mitchell and Aja Hogan -Cann also played a de- fence aggressively. Despite the loss, the Sailor- ettes move on to play Kincardine in the next level of bahtam girls playoff action.
