A Milverton 4 Wheel Drive player seems ready to join a Brussels Crusaders player in taking a rest
on the ice during a game at Brussels Saturday night. Crusaders didn’t take the game sitting
down, however as they scored a 6-2 win.
Bly th Pee Wees lose rematch
BY RUSTY BLADES
The Blyth Legion Pee Wees
played two games last week as they
beat Hensall 6-2 in league play and
lost a close game to Clinton 4-3 in
an exhibition encounter.
Against Hensall at home on
January 14, Christopher Howson
opened the scoring for Blyth as he
finished off a passing play with
Ryan Chamney and Brian McNich-
ol.
After Hensall tied the game,
Brian McNichol gave Blyth the lead
again on a power play as he
converted a passout from the
corner from Ryan Chamney. Henry
Bos increased the lead to 3-1 in the
final minute of the first period as he
slid a long shot along the ice after a
set up from Brian McNichol.
Blyth scored two more goals in
the second frame as first, Shawn
Hakkers set up twin brother Benjie
who flipped the puck over the fallen
goalie and then Brian McNichol
found Ryan Chamney alone in the
slot and Ryan one-timed the puck
behind the opposition goalie before
he had a chance to react.
Early in the third Shawn Hakkers
became the sixth Blyth player to

score in the game as Blyth increas
ed their lead to 6-1 as Christopher
Howson and Benjie Hakkers re
corded the assists.
Although Hensall closed out the
scoring in the final minute, Blyth’s
passing was a major contribution in
this 6-2 win.
Blyth was invited over to Clinton
on Saturday, January 19 to help
them celebrate Minor Hockey Day
in their first match up since the
Blyth Silver Stick comeback win.
It was another emotional game
and, although it was far from a
penalty-free game, it was a well-
played game complete with good
passing, fast skating, good check
ing and hard hitting.
Blyth scored the only goal of the
first period as Henry Bos and Ryan
Chamney assisted on Brian Mc-
Nichol’s game-opening marker.
Clinton tied the game early in the
second but Brian McNichol gave
Blyth the lead again as he stole the
puck at centre ice and drilled home
a short-handed, unassisted goal.
Clinton tied the game in the final
minute of the second and built a 4-2
lead with just under seven minutes
left in the game. With five minutes
left in the game, Ryan Chamney set
up Brian McNichol in the slot as he
deked the goalie to bring Blyth to
within a goal. This was Brian’s
second short-handed goal of the
game as he completed his hat-trick.
Blyth had their chances the rest
of the way but they couldn’t mount
a sustained offensive attack as
Clinton hung on to shade Blyth 4-3.
The team’s regular schedule is
completed this week as the playoffs
are just around the corner.

where they saw the much-heralded
Eric Lindros and the Oshawa
Generals defeat the Kitchener
Rangers 5-2 in O.H.L. action.
