Page 11, News, Tuesday, January 22, 1991 by G.T. Withers. On the weekend of January 11-13, 1991, the Terrace Bay Ringette Association staged a 3 division tournament involving teams from Geraldton, Longlac, Thunder Bay, White River and Terrace Bay. In the Petite Division, involving 6 to 11 year old girls (and our first male competitor, young Jessie Witty from White River), the Longlac team prevailed over the White River team, 10-7, to win the Gold Medal. White River was awarded the Silver and Thunder Bay came away with the Bronze. The Thunder Bay Tweens, in the fourth minute of a sudden-death, five minute over- time period defeated the Longlac girls 8 to 7 to take the Gold, with the latter winning the Silver, and Terrace Bay the Bronze. In a hard-fought game that pitted long- time rivals Terrace Bay and Longlac against each other in a showdown for the Belle Division gold Medal, Terrace Bay's goal in the last seven seconds of regular time forced As fate would have it, Longlac won the coin toss for first possession of the ring in the overtime period. They capitalized on that advantage within seconds to score the winning goal, leaving Terrace Bay with the Silver Medal and lots of incentive to carry to Longlac's tournament in early March. In an earlier game, Thunder Bay defeated Geraldton for the Bronze Medal. As usual, Terrace Bay's Ringette Parents came through to assist Tournament officials with referreeing, timekeeping, billetting, and operation of Terrace Bay's trademark hospi- tality room for visiting players and parents. In addition, a number of parents braved the auditory onslaught of rap and roll to stage a dance at the Legion for the competitors. Our thanks to the Legion for their generosity in donating the used of their facilities. Our thanks, also, to Brian, Nancy, and Roz who did a great job of keeping the ice in shape; and to the Terrace Bay Figure Skating Club for allowing the Tournament to spill Curling playdowns The Terrace Bay Junior Men's team led by skip Scott Merkley took the the Zone 4 playdowns in Marathon to win a spot in the Northwestern Ontario Junior Men's District Playdowns to be held in Terrace Bay at the end of the month.
