Crusaders swept by Spitfires
By Jim Brown
Citizen staff'
The Brussels Crusaders were swept aside in two
straight games by the Wingham Stainton Spitfires on the
weekend.
After succumbing to the Spitfires 7-4 on Friday
evening, in a game played at the Brussels, Morris and
Grey Community Centre in game one of the best two-of-
three mini-series, the Crusaders were thumped 10-0 at
the North Huron Wescast Community Complex on
Saturday.
The Spitfires now play the second-place Tavistock
Royals in a best-of-five preliminary round. The winner
of the series advances to the AA playoffs, with the losers
competing in the A playoffs.
Nothing seemed to go right for the Crusaders on
Saturday, as the Spitfires scored twice in the opening
minute of period one.
Ryan Hennessey started in goal for the Crusaders, but
was replaced by Rob Warwick when the score reached 3-
0 in less than five minutes of play. The Spitfires went on
to take a 6-0 lead after 20 minutes of play and added two
goals in each of the second and third periods to reach the
double digit mark.

Ironmen clinch top spot
The Wingham Ironmen clinched first place in the Western Junior C Hockey
League this past Friday evening, with a 4-1 decision against the tough
Kincardine Bulldogs at the North Huron Wescast Community Complex.
But, it was not the typical Wingham-Kincardine match-up. Four fights took
place in the third period, including three in a span of eight seconds late in the
period, with the game already out of reach.
Going into the weekend, the Ironmen just needed a single point to claim
first-place honours in the league for the second consecutive season. They
added to their first-place lead on Sunday with a 3-2 decision over the
Goderich Sailors.
Ironmen defenceman Joel Hemingway of Brussels, a combatant in one of
the late third-period fights, said following the contest he was expecting a
close, one-goal game from the Bulldogs.
Both Hemingway and Cole Stewart of Blyth said the victory was a total
team effort. Ironmen scoring leader Stewart, was held pointless in the game,
but stated, “the team comes first.”
Stewart said a game like this against Kincardine this late in the season
brings the team together.
“We are getting ready for the playoffs,” he stated.
He indicated that he was expecting this kind of game from the Bulldogs.
“This was a team effort, and doing well in the playoffs is all that matters,”
said Stewart.
Although he is mainly playing as a forward this season, he has also played
a tew shifts as a defenceman. One of those times was Friday, as he had to
play the penalty kill when both Hemingway and Matt McCann were sitting
in the penalty box.
“1 can play a little defence, when we get a little short,” he said.
Hemingway said he has been in a number of altercations this season.
“1 was trying to prove to them that they can’t hurt us,” he said.
The Ironmen blueliner said everyone played well, coming up with a solid
team effort. Hemingway earned an assist on the second Ironmen marker,
scored by Matt Hill.
After a scoreless first period, the Ironmen struck for two goals in the
middle frame, Nick Filsinger from Travis Fowlie and Hill from Hemingway.
A pair of third-period goals by Shawn Walker, 25 seconds apart, gave the
Ironmen a 4-0 lead. Devin McGuire and Justin Russell helped out on
Walker’s first goal.
Netminder Kurt Edwards lost his shutout bid with just over seven minutes
remaining, as Brian Stanley scored on the power play.
Stewart gave the Ironmen a one-goal lead in the first period of Sunday
afternoon’s contest in Goderich. Chris Stanley and Fowlie earned the assists.
Matt MacPhee scored in the second period, from Filsinger and Walker and
Zack O’Krafka netted the winner with 4:30 remaining in regulation time.
Walker and Joel Riley assisted on the powerplay marker.
Chad Gooyers and Brendan Dale replied for the Sailors.
