While the annual reunion of the Huron Pioneer Thresher and Hobby Association is all about
showing how things used to be, that doesn’t mean there isn’t a little competition involved now
and then. Above, some eager contestants take part in a sawing competition at the 58th annual
reunion held over the weekend at the Blyth Campground. (Mark Nonkes photo)
Flyers split games with Irish in pre-season action
The Goderich Flyers posted a 1-1
record last week, bringing the
squad’s pre-season record to 3-1.
On Friday, Sept. 6, the Flyers were
edged out in a high-scoring 7-5 affair
by the Lucan Irish just days after the
Flyers had posted a thrilling 4-3
overtime win against the Irish.
Goderich started scoring early
with Colton Quipp (Monkton)
notching an unassisted goal one
minute into the first. Several minutes
later, Lucan evened the game.
Eric Vander Eyk (Stratford) put
Goderich back on top with a power
play marker assisted by Trent Michie
of Belgrave and Parker Gibbings of
Auburn at 11:20 in the first.
Lucan responded before the end of
the period, then earned the only goal
of the second period with a power
play marker just over one minute in.
The third period saw Goderich
open strong with Kincardine’s Ethan
Long earning a power play goal
assisted by Quipp and Michie, tying
the game.
Michie would go on to score a
shorthanded goal assisted by
Londesborough’s Cody Treble,
giving Goderich the lead.
In response, Lucan scored three
unanswered goals before Gibbings
and Michie would assist Long’s
second goal of the game.
Lucan had the last word, however,
with an empty-net goal with less
than a minute left in the game.
Goderich outshot Lucan 40-37 in
the match. Goaltending
responsiblities for the Flyers were
shared by Jarron Thompson and
Jarrod Flemming, with Thompson
playing 25 minutes and stopping 14
of 17 shots. Flemming stopped 16 of
19 shots.
Goderich was issued 70 minutes of
penalties on 22 calls, while Lucan
incurred 16 infractions totalling 40
minutes.
On Sept. 3, Goderich bested the
Irish 4-3 in overtime.
The game saw Lucan and
Goderich trading goals, starting with
Lucan earning the only marker of the
first period.
Gibbings opened scoring for
Goderich at the start of the second
with an unassisted goal. Lucan
responded just under five minutes
later with a power play goal, before
Gibbings struck once again, this
time assisted by Long and Griffin
MacDonald of Bayfield.
Lucan responded later in the
period, again on the power play.
In the third, Long earned a power
play marker for Goderich, forcing
overtime.
Seaforth’s Jeff Fritzley earned the
game-winning overtime goal with an
assist from Benmiller’s Mitchell
Fisher.
Goderich served 34 minutes over
nine penalties. Lucan served four
minor penalties worth eight minutes.
The Flyers’ Bobby McLachlin and
Spencer Lazarevich traded
goaltending duties with Lazarevich
earning the win, stopping 26 of 27
shots. McLachlin saved 17 of 19.
The Wingham Ironmen started
their pre-season with a 2-1 record,
splitting games with Lucan and
besting Exeter.
On Sunday, the Ironmen posted a
convincing 7-3 win over the Lucan
Irish, outshooting the Irish 40-19.
The only marker of the first period
went to Wingham’s Rhys Vollmer,
assisted by Chase Meurs and Kyle
Standbury.
The Ironmen opened the second
with Hayden Robinson earning a
shorthanded goal seven seconds in to
the period.
Lucan responded with two goals,
tying the game before Wingham
marked four unanswered goals to
finish the second.
First, Chris Adlys found the back
of the net with assists from Logan
Tolton and Dana Smith.
Carter Colinson earned a power
play marker with an assist from
Meurs, and Vollmer earned his
second of the game assisted by Kyle
Standbury and Dawson Fahrer.
Finally, Standbury earned his own
power play goal, assisted by
Vollmer.
Lucan started the third with a goal,
but Vollmer and the Ironmen would
have the last word, with Vollmer
earning a hat trick with assists from
Standbury and Colson Fischer.
Wingham served five penalties
totalling 10 minutes while Lucan
was penalized for 20 minutes on six
infractions.
Wingham’s goaltender Devin
Carson played the entire 60 minutes
for the Ironmen, earning the win and
stopping 16 of 19 shots.
On Friday, Sept. 6, the Ironmen
bested the Exeter Hawks 6-4
Exeter opened scoring in the
game, however Wingham tied the
match up before the first period
ended with Brayden Fisher scoring
with an assist from Austin
McKechnie.
Wingham opened the second with
Cory Restoole earning a power play
goal 48 seconds into the period.
Liam Melady assisted the goal.
Exeter earned back-to-back goals,
taking the lead, before Melady
evened up the score with a marker
assisted by Logan Tolton.
Exeter earned one more before the
end of the third, taking a 3-2 lead.
Wingham, however, couldn’t be
touched in the third, with Restoole
earning an unassisted marker early
on.
Tolton, assisted by Tyson
Koopman and Restoole, put the
Ironmen ahead and Meurs’ empty-
net goal with 10 seconds left,
assisted by Vollmer, sealed the deal.
