PeeWees in playoffs
BY RUSTY BLADES
The Blyth Pee Wees opened the
playoffs against Hensall last week
winning the opening game in Blyth
4-2, then upset 4-3 in game two at
Hensall.
In Blyth on Monday, January 28
Hensall opened the game scoring
but Blyth closed out the first period
with two goals in the dying seconds
for a 2-1 lead.
Ryan Chamney and Brad Ander
son set up Jason Rutledge’s game
tying goal with 38 seconds left in
the first. Nineteen seconds later
Jason Rutledge fed the puck to Rob
Johnston at the point. Rob’s waist-
high shot was then deflected past
the Hensall goalie by Brad Ander
son.
Brad Anderson then gave Blyth a
3-1 lead with the only second
period goal as his shot from a bad
angle surprised the Hensall goal
tender. Jason Rutledge also picked
up his third point of the game with
the assist.
Hensall narrowed the lead to 3-2
as his screened shot found the
mark.
Seventeen seconds later Blyth
completed their comeback with the
tying goal. Brian McNichol drew
the Hensall defenders to him, then
passed the puck over to Ryan
Chamney who flipped it over the
sliding Hensall goalie.
Hensall again took the lead late
in the period and this power play
proved to be the winner.
Give Hensall full credit for this
4-3 victory as their inspired play
coupled with Blyth’s lackadaiscal
play evened the play-off series at
one game apiece.
The series concludes this week
with game three in Hensall on
Monday and game four in Blyth on
Wednesday at 7 o’clock (tonight).

Moving in
Bulls player Marty Rutledge moves in to score, tying the game against the Wingham Ironmen 1-1
in the first period of Sunday’s home game. In the last game before playoffs the Bulls opted to sit
some players, which may have been a fatal mistake as the Ironmen came on strong, defeating the
Bulls 7-5.

Night in Grand Valley Saturday.
Sunday the Bulls opted to sit
some players before playoffs,
possibly a mistake as Wingham
beat the Bulls 7-5.

Sprouts ‘2’ win 10-0
On Saturday, February 2 the
Brussels Sprouts “2” hosted a
Monkton Beginner’s team in their
third game of the season. Since
Christmas, Brussels Sprouts youn
gest group of players has been
trying to find other beginning
teams at their own playing level, to
prepare for an upcoming tourna
ment on February 16. This time
they proved to be stronger than
anticipated.
Keen to play hockey and score
goals, all 10 players contributed to
a 10-0 win. Mark Hunter scored the
hat-trick plus one more; Tyler
Campbell scored two, while Mat
thew Clarkson, Brittany Kelling-
ton, Darryl Houston and Tim
Harrison each scored one. Assists
went to John Giousher, Ken Mc
Callum, Joel Hemingway and
Bryce Hunt. Most of the players
took a turn in their own net, and as
the excitement at the taste of their
first goal hit home, some of the
players started parking themselves
in front of Monkton’s net, until
coach Laurie Campbell reminded
them that if no one went into the
corners to retrieve the puck, there
would be no one to pass it to them.
With many lessons left to learn
and skills to develop, they provided
amusing and fun-filled entertain
ment for their fans, who look
forward to the tournament and
their return to Monkton in three
weeks.
Paul Brophy scored with assists
from Greg McNevan and Corey
McKee at 7:36. With 10 seconds
left Chris Bell scored into the
empty net to cap off Wingham’s 7-5
victory over the Bulls.
The Bulls will pen their playoffs
Wednesday night at 9 p.m. against
the Grand Valley Harvestors at the
B.M. & G. arena. The first round is
a 3 out of 5.
Saturday the Bulls will travel to
Grand Valley and game three will
be in Brussels Sunday at 2 p.m.
This week’s Bulls’ draw winners
are Brian and Dianne Huether,
receiving $50.
Listowel team
wins tournee
Last Saturday the Radford Over
load hockey club held its second
annual Oldtimers Hockey Tourna
ment. The one-day tourney saw six
local teams go into action.
In “A” division final, Listowel
proved to be too strong for Port
Albert, defeating them 9-1. Rex
Warren of Listowel, who picked up
six points, was the game M.V.P.
In “B” Division final, the Clin
ton Fleming Foul-ups played the
Clinton Colt 45’s. The game turned
in the third but an empty net goal
sealed a 4-2 win for Blyth with
thirty-two seconds left. Brian Mc
Nichol tipped the puck past the
Hensall defence and skated in
alone for the easy goal.
Game two in Hensall on Wednes
day, January 30 was a different
story, however, as Hensall out-
hustled the visitors in a 4-3 win.
Hensall shocked Blyth with two
goals in the first minute of the
game and increased the lead to 3-0
before five minutes had expired.
Blyth finally got on the score
board late in the period as Jason
McDougall fed Brian McNichol,
whose long slapshot dented the
twine.
Peter Craig cut the lead to 3-2,
five minutes into the second period
