edf ord Flyers win
Blyth learned some valuable but painful
lessons in the B Division championship of
the Goderich Recreation Hockey League
Tournam►entSunday.
Blyth held a 2-0 lead over Bedford Flyers
in the championship game with less than
four minutes remaining in regulation time
'and ended up dropping a 3-2 decision to the
tenacious Flyers. Of course Blyth had to
learn the hard way that a game is 60
minutes (45 in this case) and a team should
never sit on a lead. ,
The Bedford Flyers capitalized on that
lax attitude, recording a dramatic
comeback that culminated with three_.
goals in a two -minute span as the Flyers
won the tournament B championship with
a 3-2 win.
Blyth took a one -goal lead in the game in
the final minute of the first period as
Wayne McDougall beat Derek Divok on a
breakaway.That lead stood until late in the
third period as both Divok and Blyth's Ray
Hutchison played well in goal.
The visitors scored their second goal of
the game with just five minutes remaining
in the game and appeared to have the win
wrapped up. McDougall counted his
second goal of the game from close in after
scooping up a loose puck in front of the
Flyer net after defenceman Jerry
ll1osendale was checked trying to move the
puck out of the zone.
If the Flyers lights weren't out they
dimmed considerably as Dave Steinbeck
took a penalty for body contact with just
three and a half minutes remaining in the
game. However, just nine seconds into the
penalty Rosendale sent Paul Corriveau
into the clear on the left side and he finally
beat Hutchison.with a shot to the glove side -
to reduce the Blyth lead to 2-1.
Just one minute lager, the speed and
tenacity of Paul Kelly resulted in the tying
goat with Kelly beating Hutchison to the
short side.
One minute later, Steinbeck atoned for
his sins and'capied the remarkable Flyer
comeback with- the winning goal. S tep-
ping out of the penalty box, he took a lead
pass from Kelly; went in alone, and beat
Hutchison for the third Flyer goal of the
game. The game -winning. Fgeala' earned
Steinbeck the . games most valuable
player.hunours.
The Flyers advanced to the B Division
championship with a 1-0 victory over
Holmesville in semi-final play. The teams
played through a scoreless first period and
