Novices look forward to fresh start in new year The Wingham Optimist Novices dropped two more games last week, losing 8-3 last Thursday night in Blyth and 9-0 Saturday afternoon in Seaforth. The locals were singing that same old "rhyme cif '89", that being, an inab-aiyi_ty- to capitalize capitalize on their scor- ing Early in the first period in the match against Blyth, it appeared the slump that has plagued the team since mid-October was wally coming to an end. The Optimists began to dominate play early, resulting in a 1-0 lead on a goal by Scott McPherson. Howgver, Blyth responded with two goals of its own to take a 2-1 lead after one period even though the Optimists held an edge in shots on goal of 11-2 Blyth fired four quick, unan- swered goals to start the second, taking a 6-1 lead before Wingharn's Steve Carter found the net on a pass from Peter Irwin. The score after two periods was 6-2 for Blyth, but Wingham again held a large margin in the shots -on -goal depart- ment of 9-3. Blyth took an early 7-2 lead in the third, then the teams traded goals in the dying minutes as Carter notclted ,his second from McPher- son.. The Optimist Novices left Blyth on the short end of an 8-3 score, but having outshot their opponents 29-7. The trip to Seaforth last Saturday through some stormy weather con- ditions was the best partof the day as the Optimists ran into a real typhoon inside the arena. Seaforth totally dominated this game and ."bad luck" was not a valid excuse as the locals were outscored 9-0 and outshot 37-3. Wingham goaltender Robert War- wick must have felt a little bit like the Michelin Man as he was con- stantly surrounded by flying rub- ber. One bright spot was the play of Phil Deans, who with his size and excellent shot, did manage to pro- vide some offence. Again, strong efforts from Carter and Tyler Huff- man an were nullified by a very strong Seaforth squad. LUELINE NOTES—The team ys one more home game before Christmas as it hosts Brussels at the Lodtidge arena this Saturday, Dec. 23, at 5 p.m. Then the team will compete in the Regional Silver Stick Tournament Dec. 27, 28 and 29 at - �_ __- ' piny Baia® ateamartu te.
