Blyth Standard
Novice team comes close in tourney
By Kathy Bromley
BLYTH - Last weekend, the Blyth Novice
"B" team, under the coaching of Wayne
McDougall and Chris Cowan, travelled to
Huron Park for their final hockey games of
the year. Each team was guaranteed two
games of play.
Blyth took advantage of this and went one
step further, making it to. the finals held
Sunday morning in Zurich.
Their first game was held in Zurich on
Saturday. Zurich opened the game with
their first goal at the 3:19 mark, after
numerous attempts were made on goalie,
Chris Bromley. Almost three minutes later,
Blyth seemed to have an advantage as
Zurich was given a penalty. Unfortunately,
their suspicions were proven wrong as
Zurich scored two shorthanded goals.
Blyth didn't give up and loose their con-
fidence and this resulted in a goal, less than
a minute later, by Brad Walsh, assisted by
Mike Salverda. Unfortunately for Blyth, this
was all that they could be given credit for,
although numerous attempts were made.
The final score was Zurich 3 - Blyth 1.
Blyth then advanced to try for thea, "B"
consolation winners. Their second game
commenced Saturday afternoon. The team
displayed one of their best games this year,
when they met Goderich.
Again, thanks to the help of the
defencemen, Chris Bromley played tight
and was able to keep the puck out of the net
until the third period. Blyth opened the
books in the second period with two goals
that were earned only 32 seconds apart. The
first goal was earned by Jason McDougall,
assisted by Brad Anderson. Obviously, Brad
picked up a few pointers on the assist, as he
went for it himself seconds later to make it
2-0 in Blyth's favor.
The third periodshowed a sudden change
in play as Goderich scored the next goal.
But, Blyth didn't give up and again; found a
pocket in the net to place the puck. Jason
McDougall had earned his second goal of the
game with the assistance of Chris Stewart.
Goderich made one final move, helping
them to get another goal, with the removal
of their goalie in the last few minutes.
By pulling the goalie and having an extra
man out on the ice, they brought the score to
within one goal in Blyth's favor, with only
six seconds remaining in the game. The
score remained 3-2 for Blyth, giving them a
well deserved win. They now advanced to
the finals to be held Sunday morning in
Zurich.
At that game, the team faced another
Goderich team, and again everyone played
exceptionally well. Unfortunately, what
they seemed to have to play the officials as
well.
Brad Anderson showed his determination
again by opening the game at the eight
minute mark, with a goal that he scored on a
breakaway from the blueline.
Only six seconds later, Goderich came
back to tie the score at one all. Goderich
continued to score again, giving them the
lead of 2-1. Into the second period, the ten-
sion was on Brad Walsh, who was given a
penalty shot. Unfortunately, the puck hit the
goal post and bounced out again.
Blyth didn't give up though, as Jason
McDougall scored the tying goal, coming in
from centre, .only a minute and a half later.
Seconds later, Blyth was penalized for
tripping but Chris Stewart did his thing and
earned a short-handed goal, putting Blyth
ahead, 3-2.
Goderich, then went to work to tie it up at
Nine tables out for
BLVTH - There were nine tables out for
the card party that was recently held here.
The high scores were won by Mary
the three minute mark.
However, Blyth's determination didn't
cease. With only 36 seconds left in the game,
numerous shots were taken oak Godertch's
net, putting the tension on the goalie. At one
point, the puck sat right on the line, failing
to go over. So, at the end of the game, the
score was tied 3-3.
In the event of a tie, this tournament had a
different approach. Five extra minutes
were to be played with a member from each
team being eliminated after every minute.
The goalies were thefirst to be pulled. This
left the responsibility on the defensemen's
shoulders. Each team made various at-
tempts, but were kept from counting. Then,
when both teams were down to three
players, an odd play Vas made. At one
point, Goderich had four men on the ice, op-
posed to Blyth's three players. This really
got the crowd roaring.
Finally, the whistle was blown. When the
referees were confronted by this play, they
called upon the decision of two men who
were looking after the tournament. What
they decided was to have each team
eliminate another man, as they were now at
the two minute mark. The play went on as if
Goderich had not done anything worth being
penalized for.
Blyth's Last two men remaining on the ice,
Brad Anderson and Tim Cowan did all they
could to keep the puck out of their end. Brad
was then knocked down at the centre line
and it was a two on one matter against Tim.
Goderich then scored the winning goal.
Afterwards, numerous fans and spec-
tators, came to the change room and com-
mented that it was Blyth's game. Everyone
played excellent hockey and ended the year
well satisfied.

Zurich Tourney
The Blyth Tykes traselled to Zurich to
participate in the Huron -Perth Tier 11 Tyke
Tournament March 28 and 29.
The games were three 10 minute periods
each. The first game was Saturday against
Zurich with Scott Bromley in net. Mark
"Sparky" Wilson put the first goal on the
board for Blyth two minutes into the first
period.
Second period their was numerous shots
on both nets, but none that counted. Two and
a half minutes into the third period Jeff

two unanswered goals to their credit at the
end of the game.
The Tykes then played against Huron
Park with Greg Blok in net.
Huron Park scored their first goal only a
minute into the game. Three and a half
minutes remaining in the first period, Ron-
nie Abel -Kinn scored Blyth's first goal,
followed less than a minute later by a break-
away by Jeff Cowan who shot and scored
their second goal of the game.
Second period action saw Jeff Ferguson
pass the puck to Micheal Haggitt, he shot
the puck but it hit the goalie's stick. Shane

scored their third goal.
Only 13 seconds left in the second period
Huron Park scored their second and last

Two minutes into the third period Darryl
Bromley scored an unassisted goal. Less
than a minute later Micheal Haggitt passed
the puck to Mark "Sparky" Wilson who shot
and scored. Four minutes remaining in the
game Jeff Cowan stick -handled the puck up
the ice from centre and scored their last
goal of the game. The final goaltender for
the game.
Scott Bromley, assisted by ,Jeff .Johnston,
scored the first goal with only 37 seconds re-
maining in the first period.
Second period saw Jeff Cowan's shot from
right wing into the net. A minute later Hen-
sall scored their first goal.
The score board now read 1-1. Where was
Blyth's second goal? Fans were yelling at
the referee's who chose to ignore all these
screaming parents. A minute remaining in
the second period Hensall scored again.
Two minutes into the third period Hensall
scored their third goal of the game. Eight
seconds later Jeff Cowan got a break -away
and scored Blyth's third goal. The lights
went out moments later due to a blown fuse.
In the midst of all the confusion one
referee said. "Blyth's second goal didn't
count because the buzzer went for the line
change as the puck went into the net. The
other referee said, the puck went into the net
and then the buzzer went and that it should
be counted. Needless to say that second goal
was never counted and so the score was now
3-2 for Hensall.
As the lights came back on and playing
resumed, the last four minutes of the ggame
were filled with action. Hensall scored Their
fourth goal and with only 53 seconds remain-
ing in the game Jeff Cowan scored on one of
his famous break-aways and the score was
now 4-3. Blyth pulled their goalie to put
another player on the ice, but Hensall
scored their fourth goal of the game in the
last 24 seconds of play. The final score was
5-3 for Hensall.
Hensall won the game but the Tykes put
up a good defense and played one of their
best games all season.
Veil, hockey season is over for anoiher
year and as I reflect back over the season I
can't help but smile when I remember one
exhibition game the Tykes were at in
Lucknow and one mother was so excited
yelling at the players that she .fell off the
bench, or the little fellow who dropped his
gum on the ice in the middle of a game, stop -
peck took off his glove, picked up his gum
and put it back in his mouth and continued
on. Or what about the father who hunted
hugh and low for his son's other shin pad on-
ly to have it pointed out he had put two on
one leg...
Then you have the other side of the coin. A
father was overheard at a previous tourna-
ment telling his son. "If you don't win this
game your grounded for six weeks." Can
you believe it' Maybe it is just as well Hen-
sall won this game, as six weeks is a long
time with baseball season almo9't upon us.
