The Citizen, 1986-03-26, Page 6PAGE 6. THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 26, 1986. Ladies from the Ethel Women's institute served pancakes and sausage at the pancake day at Maple Keys Conservation Area near Ethel on Sunday. Beautiful weather brought a large turnout of people who were able to see maple syrup being made in methods from Indian times to the present. Pancake day big success Maple Syrup success is the best way to describe the annual Pan- cake Day held at Maple Keys Sugar Bush, Molesworth. The Ethel W.I. were kept very busy with the customers wanting pancakes, sausage and of course maple syrup. It is not known at this time how many pancakes were consumed, but it was lots. The weather co-operated to its very best, as visitors not only ate, but took the trail tours and watched the various competitions. Congratulations to the CKNX Media team as they were victorious in claiming first place. A special thanks to the young people who helped the Ethel ladies. They were very helpful at the busiest time. Blyth Atoms lose tough game in tournament 'B' final The disciplined play that had led to a tremendous improvement in the Blyth Atoms team's play deserted'them under the pressure of playoff competition as the team dropped two games to Clinton teams to end up as runners-up to the consolation championship in Zurich this weekend. The team got a bye in the first round of the championship tourna- ment which meant they went into their Saturday afternoon game needing only one win to move to the A champsionship game. They were up against Clinton's No. 1 team, a team they'd played close hockey with twice in recent weeks. From the start the tension seemed to show as the Blyth players started chasing the puck instead of holding their positions and Clinton took a lead in the first minute. But Kevin Souch got Blyth back into the game with a goal midway through the period and the two teams were scoreless the rest of the period. Michael McNichol gave Blyth a 2-1 lead midway through the second with another unassisted goal and for a while it appeared that despite their lax defensive play and listless offence, Blyth just might pull off a win. Clinton came back with a goal in the last minute of the second to tie the game and set up a tense third period. The two teams were scoreless for the first 10 minutes of the period before Clinton scored to take the lead. That opened the flood gates and they came back with two more goals before the period ended. CONSOLATION ROUND That put Blyth into an early - morning game Sunday against Exeter and against this team that they had beaten badly several times during the season they showed flashes of their old game, enough at least to come up with a 4-2 win. Danny Van Bakel gave Blyth the lead midway in the first period when his long point -shot floated over the shoulder of the Exeter goaltender and dipped under the crossbar. Seconds later Brian Van Steelandt was on the spot to tip In Kevin Souch's rebound and give BI'•th a 2 - 0 lead. Early in the second period Mike McNichol scored an unassisted goal to give Blyth a three -goal lead and just before the end of the period Kevin Souch scored with an assist going to Tyler Craig. The team either tried or got a little too confident in the third period as they let Exeter have two goals in the last five minutes and forced Jason Elliott in goal to make a stop on another breakaway to keep the game from getting too close. BRUTAL FINAL The consolation championship game against Clinton would be the last Atom game for some of the players before they moved up next year to Peewees and body -contact hockey and they certainly got a taste of what they could expect in a sometimes brutal game. , The two teams played evenly through the first period and the early part of the second with Blyth failing to take advantage of a number of Clinton penalties in- cluding one two-man advantage. Clinton took the lead three minutes into the second period when a long -shot was redirected in front of Blyth goalie Jason Elliott and went over his shoulder into the net. Blyth not only failed to take advantage of another two-man advantage in the third but also gave up a goal to a short-handed Clinton team. The game got vicious as the third period wore on with one Blyth breakaway foiled by a two -hander across the wrists which was penalized and another by a cross - body block that sent Danny VanBakel crashing into the boards, injured (this went unpenalized). In between another Clinton player was penalized for dropping a knee on the neck of Danny Van Bakel as he lay on the ice trying to cover the puck. Blyth made it close when Kevin Souch finally scored with three minutes remaining and with the man advantage from the Clinton "unsportsmanlike con- duct" penalty, pressed around the Clinton net but were unable to score the equalizer. Losing the last game of the year was bad enough but the violence of the loss was a poor wayfor the team to end a season that had seen players progress a long way from their tentative first games last fall. Coaches Tony VanBakel and Ken Scott deserve credit for the pro- gress of the team and for the sportsmanlike manner the team played all year. Stars for Blyth in the first game were Jason Elliott, Kevin Souch and Shawn Rutledge. Second game stars were ShawnRutledge, Kevin Souch and Ian Andrews and third game stars were Danny Van Bakel, Kevin Souch and Brian Van Steelandt. Based on the game stars through the year, four players will be awarded trophies: Kevin Souch, Jason Elliott, Shawn Rutledge and Danny Van Bakel. thel Margaret McMahon 887-9250 Local woman wins trip to Expo '86 Sharron Dobson is going to see Expo '86 in B.C. later this year.
