Overtime win for Blues in 1972
LEAMINGTON — Werner Schmidtgall scored with a slapshot from the blueline in sudden death overtime to give Otton & Malott Blues a 2-1 victory over the Rotary Club Saturday night at the Leamington Arena. The win gave the Blues the Leamington District Minor Hockey Association Bantam House League title. Schmidtgall’s tally at 6:40 of the extra period broke up what observers generally conceded was the best contest of all the final games.
Only a single point had separated the two teams in the regular season standings and they played that way on Saturday. The two-way action featured the great work of both goaltenders — Tracy Rekuta of the Blues and Joe Wickham for Rotary. The officials called 13 penalties with eight against the winners, who played much of the third period shorthanded. The Blues went ahead in the dying seconds of the second period as Jerry Omstead uncorked an

Eric Lynn feed and beat Wickham with a slapshot on the powerplay. Rotary pulled even early in the third when Paul Jeffery’s pass sent Goddard in all alone on Rekuta, and he made no mistake. That set the stage for Schmidtgall’s heroics in overtime.

The Essex Southpoint Ravens U12 hockey team opened their playoff round robin this past weekend after an extended break. On Friday night, Feb. 4 in Essex, the Ravens hosted the Erie North Shore Storm. The game started slowly as it appeared that both sides needed to shake the rust off. The Storm opened the scoring five minutes into the middle frame, which seemed to be the catalyst to wake up the hometown boys. With six to go in the second, Derek Dunn, off the draw, chipped the puck past the D and out-skated his chasers, finishing by burying his wrister. One minute into the third, Nash Fuerth hit Austin Goudie at the side of the net and he banged it in to take the lead. Four minutes in, Lucas O’Neil grabbed the puck at mid ice and skated wide right, firing his snap shot in blocker side. Less than a minute later, Tyler
Thomas passed to Goudie who hit Fuerth midstride and he wired his shot in to make the final score 4-1. Trent Chevalier secured the win in net. On Saturday the Ravens travelled to Windsor to face off with the Riverside Rangers. The team had a little more jump in their legs on this day. With four left in the first, Ben Liebrock made a move left around the D and slid the puck back to Nash Fuerth, who one timed it home to take the lead. Riverside tied it early in the second. But less than 15 seconds lat-

U9 LL plays first full ice game Finally, back to hockey again, and the Southpoint U9 Local League team played their first full ice game. There is a lot to take in and adapt to moving from half ice to full, but they managed. Their opponent Erie North Shore Blue proved to be the stronger team, scoring seven goals. Although the play was
a bit lopsided, Southpoint players had their moments. Goals were scored by Nik Sawyer and Ryker Pannunzio. Ryan Lumley made quite a few stops as the Southpoint goalie. Evan Williams played a strong game offensively and defensively, breaking up a number of Erie’s attacks and rushing down
the ice on a number of occasions. From her defensive position, Milana George chased down a number of Erie forwards to stop breakaways. It was a challenging game but the team responded well. Their game as a team will steadily improve.

er, Lucas O’Neil busted through the D firing his shot wide where Brayden Foster found the karom off the end boards and fired it in. One and a half into the third, Fuerth had the puck squirt out during a scramble and he buried his chance to increase the lead. Later in the third, while short-handed, Brayden Foster chipped the puck past the D to Kayden Cook who stepped in over the line and rifled his slap shot home to round out the scoring. Kevin Ondic backstopped his team to the 4-1 victory.
