Novice Reps Play the Game of Their Season
At the Mississauga Novice Reps Year-end Spring Tournament, in a semi-final shootout loss to the #1 ranked team from Port Credit, the Blyth Novice Reps played to prove how good small town teams can take on the big city teams.  

Blyth started off with an 8-0 win over Applewood on Friday, April 9th in game #1.  Game #2 early Saturday morning was a tough loss to a strong team from Cooksville 2-0.  Saturday noon was game #3 against the fast paced team from Port Credit, a less then productive 2nd period left Blyth with a 4-0 loss. 

Even with a record of 1 win and 2 losses, Blyth qualified to move onto the semi-finals on Sunday morning.  8:00AM Sunday, Blyth vs. #1 ranked Port Credit again, 30 minutes of scoreless end-to-end hockey, then a scoreless 5 minute overtime led to a shootout.  After round #1 of the shootout each team had scored 1 goal, then early in the second round Port Credit got the go ahead goal and moved onto the finals. 

Players, coaching staff, parents and grandparents where so impressed with the effort given by all 14 players, what an exciting way to wrap up a great season!
