Seaforth Stars win Tyke WOAA
The Seaforth Stars proved
their first place finish in
league play was no fluke
by capping the season off
with the W.O.A.A. Tyke
South Division
Championship on the
weekend in Goderich.
"This was a fitting way to
end the season," said coach
Ralph Currie. "The boys
played their hearts out and
really deserved to win."
The playdown began on
Saturday, March 27 with
the local squad facing
Clinton. After going
scoreless for the first 30
minutes. Seaforth erupted
for four goals in a 6 1/2
minute span of the final
period to put this one away.
Tyler Hart played a strong
game in net for the shutout.
Seaforth's offense was led
by Tyler Listman with 2
goals and Josh Shea and
Haden Campbell with a
goal apiece.
The A semi final was
played -later on Saturday
against Hensall. Seaforth
had little problem shutting
down Hensall's offense
with some strong defensive
play. The Stars offense
scored early and often in
this 6-1 victory. Patrick
Morris opened the scoring

Goderich.
on a nice setup from
Campbell. Tyson Avery
scored 4 unassisted goals,
using his great speed to
break past Hensall's
defense. The prettiest goal
of the game came on a feed
from Listman from behind
the net to Josh Gerber who
was set up in the- slot.
Gerber onc timed it past a
sprawling Hensall goalie.
The A final, played on
Sunday. March 28, pitted
thc Stars against their
division rival, Goderich. In
6 previous meetings this
season, each team had
posted three wins. Just 30
seconds into the game,
Seaforth found themselves
down by a goal, but that
Novice stay on top
all season becoming
WOAA champs
While expectations were
good. no one expected the
Seaforth Novice Rep team
to be as undefcatable as they
were.
"They never lost any
games through the entire
season," said Jim Campbell,
proud coach of the team.
And they never lost any
games in the playoffs that
saw the tcam win the
WOAA Novice
Championship on March 22.
Campbell said on paper,
the team looked good but on
the ice, the exceeded all
their expectations.
One of thc highlights for
the season was winning thc
Regional and then
international Silver Stick
Tournaments.
Campbell said that feat.
that takes them against some
of the toughest teams in
Canada and the United
States. was more difficult
than winning the playoffs.
It marks the novice's first
WOAA win in 10 years and
Campbell said, "We won it
in a fairly easy fashion."
The tcam has played
undefeated since Nov. 8.
"That's thc biggest thing
that surprised me. is they
never lost," said Campbell.
instead. they kept getting
stronger and harder to beat
as thc season continued.
Their record stands at 49
wins, three losses and a tie. '
The losses came in
exhibition and tournament
play, early in the season.
He said the team was
surprised a few weeks ago
when Campbell pointed out
to them that, at that point,
they had won 35 -straight
games, he said they were
surprised by their success.
Thcy realized then that
they could heat almost any
team but never stopped
working.
Campbell thinks one of
their strengths is the fact
they have about five good
goal scorers on the team.
Others tend to have two but
with that many on the team,
he said they can put out two
strong lines with any 10 of
their players and not be
stopped.
It took them to the
WOAA.
would be it for Goderich.
"Hart played a strong
game in net, and the
defense cleared the puck
well" said Currie.
• The line of Campbell.
Morris and Jordan Currie
really started to click.
Tenacious forechecking
repeatedly - caused
turnovers in the Goderich
end and at 9:12 in
Campbell evened the score
on a setup from Morris and
Currie. Six minutes later
Seaforth went ahead for
good when Campbell stole
the puck in- the corner,
walked out untouched and
slid it under the Goderich
netminder. Morris added
some insurance midway
through the final period on
a setup from Campbell' and
Brent Vincent. Campbell
completed the hat trick
with only eight seconds left
in the gamc when he
caught Goderich's defense
up ice.
"Everybody on thc team
came to -play every day.
This is ,not a team of onc
or two superstars, but a
team of 16 hardworking

kids who make things
happens when they are on
the ice." said Currie.
The tyke team is made up
of six and seven -year-olds
from in and around the
Seaforth arca.
