Atoms take the 5th
to win playoff series
■ The Blyth Atom Bulldogs forced
their consolation play-off series
against Normanby to a fifth game
when they earned a victory Feb. 21
at home.
Jeffery Elliott had a superb game
in the Bulldog cage, looking partic
ularly sharp on Normanby’s #4’s
breakaway chance. Opposition
shooters became visibly frustrated
as the game progressed.
The lone Blyth goal was scored
by Josh Albrechtas. Blake Hessel-
wood passed the puck to Darcey
Cook who feathered a pass to
Albrechtas. He walked in alone
from the point and blasted a shot
past the bewildered Normanby net-
minder.
The excitement heated up with
2:27 to go in the game when
Albrechtas was assessed a five-
minute penalty for highsticking.
The Bulldogs penalty-killers did an
excellent job as the.Normanby
attack was kept at bay. They were
not given a chance to pull the
goalie until there were just nine
seconds remaining.
Setting the tone for the final in
the best-of-five series, Normanby
returned to Blyth Feb. 27.
A very spirited Bulldog team
took to the ice. They grabbed the
lead early and held on until the
third.
Albrechtas opened the scoring
with a netter at 2:27 of the first.
Hesselwood passed to John
Bokhout for Blyth’s second before
Normanby hit the scoreboard at
9:29 of the second.
Cook and Bokhout to Hessel
wood pulled Blyth to a 3-1 lead as
the middle period ended.
A charged up Normanby squad
put the puck on. tying the game and
forcing it into overtime.
The visitors earned the win when
they got one by Joel Salverda with
2:28 remaining.
Elliott played a tremendous game
in the first two periods with Salver
da duplicating the effort when he
took over for the third period and
overtime.
The fans were kept on the edge
of their seats right to the finish of a
great series.
The Bulldogs take on Paisley
Wednesday night in the final play
off series.

the contest.
The home team responded a few
minutes later to tie it up.
Matt Huether popped one in at
6:29 of the first, after several
attempts on the agile goalie.
Ray Huether, Zach Watson and
Andrew Watson worked hard to
keep the play in their opponents’
end.
Clinton put in five more before
Brussels responded with their third.
Stretton stole the puck at their blue-
line and went in alone with a flip
shot over the goalie.
Daniel Elliott made a great poke
check to stop a rush, but the home
team added two in the final minutes
for the 8-3 win.
Jordan Roberts was strong on
defence, supporting goalie Nic
Gowing during the busy game.
Robert Cronin, Ty Sebastian,
Morgan Deitner and Ryan Baker

stop the offense or break through
the defence.
Cronin was kept extremely busy
in net, stopping many shots in close
and batting others away with his
glove-hand.
Good hustle by Gavin Bowers
and breakaways by Stretton threat

was not to be.
