Toronto drops Outlaws The North Perth Midget Outlaws travelled to Midland to play in the Civitan tournament on the weekend. In the first game, the Outlaws met the hometown Midland team. Midland got the first three goals before Jason Hamilton managed to permeate the well-built and well padded Midland goalie. Assisting on the goal was Tyler DeVos. Hamilton, on a roll quickly scored again before finishing his shift, this time assisted by Justin Erb and Jordan Doig. Midland scored three more but Adam MacDonald scored the final Outlaw goal with mere seconds left in the game. The final score was 6-3 for Midland. The second game was against Orillia. The teams were well matched with the Outlaws outshooting the opposing team. The battle was back and forth with Brett Hunt starting the scoring with help from Cory Chapman. Minutes later, Orillia scored one, then a second. Ashton Nichol tied up the score before the end of the first period. Orillia was allowed only one goal in the second. Doig shot a long ball from near centre and scored the tying goal seconds into the third period. At the midway mark in the third period, Hamilton scored the go- ahead goal with help from Liam Madge and Justin Smith. The team played well and managed to maintain the lead until the end of the game. The third and final game was for the consolation. North Perth ended up playing a strong Toronto Beaches team and with a reduced bench due to injuries and suspensions could not keep up to their level of play. The final score was 14-3. Scoring for the Outlaws were Matt Tell with two and Jason Hamilton with one with MacDonald getting the assist on Hamiliton’s goal.

Continued on page 10 It was another tough game for the Brussels U-ll squad when they met Newton III on Canada Day in spite of some energetic help received from three U-9 players brought up to support an understaffed team. Patti Blake, Christopher Ross and Jenna Ford made outstanding efforts to contribute, often being found in the middle of the plays and working the ball to the opponent’s end. Newton struck early, getting the ball past goalie Christine Bone. Chris Becker made a nice play in front of the net, stopping a shot with his back. Natalie White took the action to Newton’s crease, but was stopped.

Dalton Hamilton and Conner Bridge were making every attempt Continued on page 10 half with a great shot, just hooking it off the post after picking up a pass from Emily Kerkhof.
