SEAFORTH'S NORTH AMERICAN SILVER STICK BANTAM "C" CHAMPS - The Seaforth bantams beat Watford in overtime a couple of week's ago to claim this season's North American Silver Stick championship. They also beat Watford in overtime a week previous in the regional qualifier. You would never know it, but in this photograph taken at the Seaforth arena on the weekend, they are posed on the ice resurfacer. They are, front row from left: Curtis Murray, Derek Nesbitt, David Ludwig, Joey Nesbitt. Standing: Brian MacDonald (manager/assistant coach), Matt Flanagan, Jeremy Holmes, Joey Tunney, Dan O'Reilly, Jason MacDonald, Dean Wood, Daniel Nash. Sitting: Chris Siemon, Derek Van Drunen, Ryan Willis, Jason Anstett, Josh Holland, Paul McLlwain (coach). Very top: Matt Smale, Tim McClure, Steve Camochan.

It takes strange call, triple OT to sink It took triple overtime for Penetang to bounce Seaforth's atom 1 hockey team from the North American Silver Stick"B" division semi-finals early Sunday morning at Clearwater. Seaforth lost 3-2. But the local team of nine to 12 -year-olds gave it their best shot. Seaforth entered the game undefeated in the big annual tournament centered around Sarnia, with three wins, and led 2-1 with the clock ticking down. But the referee called a penalty on the locals with 1:11 to play andgnetang ended up equalizing on the powerplay with a scant 49.5 seconds left on the clock to sent it into OT. It was Seaforth's only penalty of the game. Penetang took a couple ear- lier. To add insult to injury, Seaforth had a goal called back earlier in the tilt, that those behind the Penetang net would swear on a stack of Bibles was in. There were no goal judgds. And the goal that tied it was a flukey. The puck was shot from the face-off circle, With playoffs beginning this week, the season is just getting into full swing for the Seaforth & District Minor Hockey Association. There are about 261 players regis- tered on 22 teams, of both genders, for all skill levels - 10 house league and a dozen rep. The atoms, peewees, ban tams and midgets all begin their best -of -five playoffs with Durham this week or next. Western Ontario Athletic Association playoffs begin at the start of March. It is great entertainment. Whynot come out and ceer them on! chest --high. It hit a player on the shoulder, then a stick and somehow found the top cor- ner behind Seaforth goal - tender Matt Dalton. `TRICKLED IN' The edge -of -your -seat thrills for fans that made it to the 7 a.m. semi were far from over. The teams played five play- ers aside for the first five - minutes of extra time. Seaforth had numerous chances but couldn't buy a goal. So they played four players aside for the second overtime period. Again, nothing was decid- ed. So they went down to three players aside for a third over- time. The drama ended with 2:47 to go. Penetang shot the puck at the net and charged the crease. The puck went in off one of their player's legs as he crashed into a crushed Dalton. COACH MISSES IT "We held the majority of play. The winning goal trick- led over the line, just " said Seaforth's Gerry McLaughlin, who helped out on the bench in the absence of regular head coach Pete Chessell of Cromarty. Unfortunately, he couldn't be there. Chessell is a fore- man for Ontario Hydro and has been in eastern Ontario for the past two weeks help- ing get power restored to that part of this country after the recent devastating ice storm.
