Novice in name only
The Goderich Novice Ringette team .do a victory ring around the Square after their win over Mitchell at the Championship Day held in Hensall Sunday. It has been
a very exciting year for this team, and a great finish to their season.
Midget Sailors
WOAA champs.
There were only three mighty midgets left
standing on the ice when the final buzzer went
off last Monday night at the Western Ontario
Athletic Association championship game, but the
Goderich Midget .Rep team were able to prevail
over Walkerton with a 5=2 victory.
Walkerton won the first of a three game series.
Goderich had to win the second game March 29
to give them a chance at the championship game
on Monday. Goaltender Lucas Denomme, stood
tall between the pipes for game two and earned
Goderich the win allowing teammate goalten-
der Shawn Gethke to play in the championship
game.
Gethke triumphed but it was no easy task. There
was a steady line of Goderich players heading
to the penalty box, giving Walkerton numerous
power play opportunities.
A strong performance was turned in by the en-
tire Midget team. Determination, a solid defence
and the ability to score goals are what contrib-
uted most to the win. Team chemistry on and off
the ice and a good coaching staff made for a fun
and successful year.
Thanks to head coach, Gary Lynch and the rest
of the co aching staff: Pete Bakker, Perry Bakker,
James Gartshore, trainer; Mark Fay and manager
Dean Kulich. The midgets finished off their sea-
son in Aylmer this past weekend.

Tweens take
Huron -Perth
The Goderich Tween Ringette team
capped off an amazing season Sunday,
winning the Huron Perth title with a con-
vincing 6-3 win over Mitchell.
It was a season that saw the girls win two
tournaments, a bronze (as close to gold as
a team can get) at Regionals and the Huron
Perth title.
The Tweens are an awesome team that
overall went 30 - 6 - 4. Parents and coaches
were very proud of the way the girls dis-
played a competitive nature throughout the
season, but what the parents and coaches
were most proud of is the sportsmanship
the girls showed on the ice towards their
teammates, coaches, referees and opposi-
tion.
The girls deserved all the accolades they
got this year.
Team members include: Goalie - Taylor
Spade; defence - Brittany Boyce, Candace
Cunningham, Taylor Hulley and Keisha
Stoddart; forwards - Jacqueline Bedard,
Courtney Beattie, Lauren Dietrich, Kate
Fisher, McKenna Hulley, Maren MacKen-
zie, Amanda Menchenton and Rachel Peet;
trainer - Gayle Fisher and coaches - Jim
Beattie and John MacKenzie.
