The Goderich Atom goalie snagged this one, but that was not always the case as the strong offensive moves of the Listowel team resulted in a 9-1 victory for them. The two met in a Saturday morning consolation round game in the B Division of the Brussels Optimist tournament. Fourteen teams competed in the three day event. The champs were Tilsonburg, who defeated Forest 6-4, while consolation trophy was captured by Mitchell, who beat Petrolia 3-1. A 9-0 trouncing of Goderich put another in the win column for Blyth Atoms on Saturday, Nov. 30. Going into the game with a three win, two loss record, Blyth came out in the first with their intention clear. While the defense kept the the hosting Goderich offensive at bay, Blyth scored three in the first for a solid lead. Scoring were Trev- er Koehler and Tyler Kernighan, with two. Assists went to Koehler and Ryan McClinchey. Four points came in the second off the sticks of Neil Salverda, McClinchey, Kernighan and Koehler. Assists were credited to Cody Anderson, Drew Crawford, Kemighan and Derek Fischer. The third period widened the gap even further with Anderson and McClinchey taking the honours. Anderson got the assist on McClinchey's goal. The shutout went to Justin Peters. Blyth Coach Doug McClinchey credited the defense with control and clearing their zone. "Everyone skated well and passed well. The shots on net were executed with precision. Peters made their scoring opportunites look like routine net minding. THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1996 PAGE 11. Blyth Atoms win 9-0 The Huron Perth Lakers Minor PeeWees had a win, two ties and one loss in AAA alliance action recently. In Hamilton Nov. 17 three Hamilton goals in the final three minutes of the third period broke open a close 2-1 game as the Hamilton squad defeated the Lakers 5-1. Kevin Overholt scored the lone Laker goal with assists from Nolan Krotz and Darryl Bourne. The next night at Waterloo the third period was the jinx again as Waterloo scored two goals in the final two minutes, the last with six seconds on the clock to lift them to a 6-6 tie with the Laker PeeWees. Organized snowmobiling has a greater economic impact on Ontario than trade with Russia. In fact, according to 1996 Statistics Canada Import/Export Commodity Trade information recently analyzed by the non-profit Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs (OFSC), organized snowmobiling is more valuable to this province each year than many international trading partners are to the entire country. Estimated at $656 million for 1995 /96, snowmobile-related spending by OFSC members not only tops national trade figures Nith Russia, but also the trade total for all 25 Eastern European countries combined. The same applies to all 25 Caribbean nations. Or to the six in Central America. The annual economic impact of organized snowmobiling also exceeds national trade with any single African or Middle East country, and at least 15 other individual Canadian trading partners such as Austria, Ireland, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Portugal, Spain, India, Venezuela, Chile and New Zealand. "We realized organized snow- mobiling has a tremendous econo- mic impact on snowbelt Ontario," stated OFSC President Bert A. Grant, "but it was not until this Huron-Perth had outhustled and outplayed their Waterloo opponents to that point in the game. Krott and Ken Courtney had two goals each with singles coming off the stick of Overholt and Chris Ward. Laker assists went to Krotz, two; Ward, two; Overholt, two; Lance Bedard, two; and Rick Miller, Darryl Bourne, Chad Coiling and Nick Haberer with singles. Krotz, and Coiling were picked as the offensive players of the game with Laker goalie Jeremy Boniface given the defensive nod. On Saturday, Nov. 23 the PeeWees hosted potential Silver Stick qualifiers Chatham Cobra AA in two exhibition games. In a fast- comparison put the numbers into a broader perspective that its importance to our province as a whole became incontrovertible. Perhaps international trade missions should be targeted a little closer to home." Celebrating its 30th anniversary, the OFSC had a banner season in 1995/96, racking up record- breaking sales of 106,000 trail permits for a total of 190,000 family members. Recently tabulated figures confirm that the OFSC's 294 community-based snowmobile clubs own almost $27 million worth of grooming equipment and put almost $20 paced exciting game one, the teams played to a hard fought 5-5 tie. Courtney led the Lakers with two goals, with singles going to Ward, Overholt, and Bedard. Colling had two assists with Krotz, Ward, Paul Dagg, and Mike Caslick having singles. In game two, the Lakers played an excellent two way game with Cam Beker and Boniface sharing the shutout as Huron-Perth beat Chatham out by a score of 3-0. Scoring goals for the Lakers were Overholt, Derek Taylor, and Jeff Davie. Assists went to Krotz, Josh Gaynor, Miller and Ward. Kyle Hamilton played an excellent game defensively. million back into local economies through trail operations and development last winter. In addition, The Easter Seal Society of Ontario reports that OFSC volunteer participation in provincial Snowaramas raised an unprecedented $556,000, re- affirming the OFSC's status as North America's largest solo benefactor for children with physical disabilities. In all, OFSC clubs gave over $1 million to various charities.
