Ringette
teams
coming for
tournament
Jeff Heuchert
Nine teams, consisting of over
120 girls and women, will make
their way to Seaforth this week-
end for the 22nd annual
Seaforth ringette tournament at
the Seaforth arena.
Players from Goderich, Exeter,
Forest, Waterloo and Kitchener
will join girls from Seaforth's
minor ringette system for the
two-day event, which begins this
Saturday, Feb. 3.
Seaforth ringette president
Kevin Campbell says Seaforth's
girls travel to around two or
three tournaments each season.
However, it's this tournament
they always look forward to the
most.
"It's great for them to be host-
ing a tournament...and it's great
for the town of Seaforth and the
local association," he adds.
All of Seaforth's teams will par-
ticipate in the tournament
except for the belle girls, since
not enough belle teams regis-
tered.

Busy two days of broomball in Brussels
Jeff Heuchert
It was a busy two days of broom -
ball this past weekend in Brussels
that saw Seaforth-based teams
come away with wins and losses in
finals on both the men's and
women's side of the competition.
In the men's A final, the Seaforth
Cyclones fell to the Arthur
Orangutangs 2-0, while the
Seaforth Hurricanes defeated the
Seaforth Royals 2-1 in the B final.
On the women's side, Seaforth
Parr Line defeated Seaforth Polar
Ice 1-0 in overtime to win the finals.
Tournament organizer and
Cyclones player Claude Poirier said
the tournament was a success,
despite the low turnout of women's
teams.
"It went well. We got a fairly good
response from who was there," said
Poirier, noting they had as many as
40-50 fans watching during the
Seaforth and Windsor juvenile
teams' games.
The Cyclones advanced to the A
finals after defeating the Seaforth
Hitmen A in double overtime.
However, during the game, three
of the Cyclones players suffered
injuries, which Poirier said ham-
pered the Cyclones a short time
later in the A finals.
"(The injured players) played in
the finals, but mostly just stayed
back. They were on the bench more
than the ice," he said.
Poirier added that once Arthur
secured a two -goal lead they were
able to sit back on defence and
forced Seaforth to try and break
through, which they couldn't do.
In the men's B final between
Seaforth's Hurricanes and Royals,
the game was decided with only .6
seconds left in the third period,
when the Hurricanes netted the
winning goal.
"The Hurricanes just kept shoot-
ing and shooting and they finally
got one in. The game was going to
overtime and it could have been a
different story," said Poirier.
