Huron Expositor, 2005-04-06, Page 15Sports Seaforth Hitmen place sixth in national tourney Area broomball players held their own against Canada's best last week as they competed at the 14th annual Canadian Juvenile Broomball Championships in Leduc, Alberta. The Central West Hitmen - consisting of players aged 16- 19 from the Blyth, Clinton and Seaforth area - placed sixth overall and brought home consolation silver medals following the four-day national tournament. Coach and former Hitmen player Nathan Hubbard said "overall the boys played well, but fell short of their gold medal goal." Flying out in the early morning hours of March 26, the Hitmen held one on -ice practice before facing Windsor in their first game of the tourney on Wednesday morning. Central West played strong throughout their opening game against Windsor, as goaltender Brian Van Bakel, of Seaforth, earned a shutout. Things took a turn for the worse however the following day, as the team suffered a 4-1 loss to the Saskatchewan Jr. Axemen. "We came out at full power in the first game against Windsor, but after that the chemistry just wasn't there," Hubbard commented. The Hitmen went on to finish third in round-robin play, recording a 3-1 win over the Northwest Territories and a tough 1-0 loss to Stanislas, Quebec. Going into playoffs on Friday afternoon, the boys took on the host team, the Edmonton Jr. All -Stars, winning 2-1. "Then we went to the consolation finals, which became a re -run of the provincial finals, except at the provincials we won," Hubbard said. Fighting hard against their long-time Ontario rivals, the Eastern Icedogs, the Hitmen couldn't get past the team's strong defense and lost the game 3-1 to take home consolation silver.

"Getting to the nationals is an impressive accomplishment in itself," Hubbard said. "We just couldn't get it together when we needed to this time, but we'll be back next year."
