Seaway is Second in Intermediate Meet

A small crowd of just 38 women attended the weekly Wednesday night Ladies Night on June 19, but a good time was had by all. 

After a regular evening of play with great weather finally, the ladies took their evening game to the ninth hole to decide this week’s prize winners.

The game called for the wearing of a pair of silicone oven mitts to drive and a pair of regular oven mitts for putting…a new fashion in golf clubs which completely eliminated any possibility of an interlocking grip says club captain Monique Patenaude. 

The low score winner in A flight was Brenda Stitt with a par 4 with one putt, while Barb Sheridan won B flight play with a par 4 (two putts). Lise Steinburg and Deanna Cassell tied for the win in C flight both with fives (one putt) and Helen Zeran won D flight with a five (using two putts).

High scores were carded by Lori Anne Davies with a six (two putts) in A flight, while Linda Barclay had the high in B flight with a 7 thanks to three putts.

Also three-putting was Candace Jamieson who won C flight with a nine, and Lydia Eamon who won D flight with a nine.

The evening was sponsored by Horner and Pietersma and coming up this week the sponsor is Home Hardware.

  It took four games and a huge come from behind effort here Monday night, March 28 for the South Dundas Novice C2 Lions to claim the Upper Canada Minor Hockey League’s 2015-16 playoff championship. […]

The Morrisburg Junior B Lions played their first regular season game on home ice, Sunday, for a start that coach Thom Racine says was disappointing.

After falling behind the visiting Winchester Hawks early on, the Lions managed to pull out of the first period behind by just two goals (4-2).

They got it together in the second period, with back-to-back counters early on to even it, but that was it.

The Hawks added two goals in the second and another three in the third to claim a 9-4 win.

“We really responded in the second period and tied it up, but then we forgot who we were playing,” said coach Racine. “You can’t give the puck away and make mental errors against the best team in the league.”

“In the third period we were skating with them, but then we had one of those kind of errors I am trying to cut down on.”

“Winchester is a good team. They are physical and don’t get me wrong, they played very well. They are a veteran team and they know how to intimidate.”

The Hawks went up 4-2 in the first period on goals by Evan Walker, Graham Loyst, Paul Bernard-Corbeil and Josh Stubbings.

The Lions answered with goals by Ryan Ward (unassisted) and Alex Steingruber (on the power play from Clarke Veenstra and Francis Roberge).

Rookie Lion, Ryan Dunbar got it rolling in the second period with the first junior B goal of his career from Marc Antoine Kamel and Brayden Girard.

According to Racine, the goal and resulting celebration didn’t sit well with Hawks’ defenceman Paul Bernard-Corbeil whose blow to Dunbar resulted in a match penalty.

“Ryan left the game, but he came back.”

The Lions also took advantage of the five minute penalty with Steingruber scoring on the power play from Ryan Ward and Clarke Veenstra to tie the game 4-4.

That however, was it for the Lions. The Hawks got two more from Stubbings and Loyst (short-handed) to end the second period in the lead 6-4.

Stubbings, Brock Burge and Evan Walker made it a 9-4 Hawks win.

Mikael Dion started in net for the Lions and after 7:30 was relieved by Ryan Cooper.

“We didn’t get the goaltending and Mikael knew it,” said Racine. “He was fine with being yanked. Ryan did a good job going in, in relief. For his first taste of Junior B action, I thought he was good.”

Unfortunately, Racine says he may have lost Steingruber for a couple of weeks with an injury. “It’s a huge loss if we lose him for any length of time. He’s a great player.”

Racine says the loss on their home ice was tough for the Lions, but “I expect them to learn from their mistakes. It was a quiet dressing room after the game, and I let them wallow in it for a couple of minutes. They were disappointed.”

This week the Lions are preparing to take on the Char-Lan Rebels in Morrisburg, Friday night (September 30) at 8:30 p.m. Sunday, they are on the road to Alexandria to take on the Glens at 2:30 p.m.
