Bantam Reps wrangle five of six points last week Last week was a good week for the Blyth Brussels Bantam Rep team as they brought home five out of six potential points. The boys were feeling pretty good going into Mildmay on Sunday, Oct. 30, but a hard-skating squad surprised the short-handed Bantam team and fought them to a 1-1 tie. Wyatt Ducharme was missing due to a hitting from behind penalty in Shallow Lake which left the team with only 10 skaters. Mildmay got out to the 1-0 lead at 9:41 of the second on a power play and held that lead into the third period. Pennington tied it up on an individual effort two minutes into the third. Both teams traded chances in the rest of the third with both Carey and the Mildmay goalie playing strong games. Even though they were outworked and outskated in the game, they still were able to hold onto the tie. Their most recent win came on Thursday, Oct. 27 in Shallow Lake as a result of a lopsided affair ending 11-0 for the Blyth Brussels team. Goals were scored by Dustin Pennington (6), Quintin Sjaarda (2), Arden Coultes, Trent Michie and Hayden TenPas, one each. Assists went to Ducharme (2), Coultes (2), Sjaarda (3), Pennington (2), Michie, Jarod Logan, TenPas and Reece McArter with 1 each. The shutout was earned by Dalton Carey. The first win of the week was over Wiarton by the score of 6-3 on Sunday, Oct. 23 in Blyth. Big goals were scored by Ducharme (3), TenPas, Sjaarda and Coultes. Assists were earned by Jordan Hubbard (2), Pennington (2), McArter, Michie and Sjaarda with one each. The match was a hard-fought effort from everyone and a solid win for Matt McNichol in goal. These two wins, plus the Bantam team’s season-opener 3-0 shutout win against Hanover, brings them to an undefeated 3-0-1. The Bantams again took to the ice against Hanover at the Brussels, Morris and Grey Community Centre (BMGCC) on Nov. 2. A final score was unavailable as of press time. The Blyth Brussels PeeWee AE team’s quickness proved to be too much as the boys snuffed the Cyclones from Listowel on Oct. 28. Jarron Thompson stood steadfast between the pipes for the PeeWees keeping the game scoreless through the first period despite the ample opportunities the boys generated but couldn’t seem to capitalize on. The second period was much the same until, with just over a minute remaining, Jared Shearer bulged the twine on a sweet pass from Nolan Johnston to make it 1-0 going into the break. The boys would come out flying to start the third with Carson Richmond getting a shot on net and Avery McArter potting the rebound to go up 2-0. It only took Listowel 14 seconds on their power play to bring the score within one at 10:31 in the third. Strong defence kept the Cyclones at bay until McArter nabbed his second at 2:51 remaining in the game, picking up a rebound from a boomer of a shot from defenceman Josh Gibbons. Blyth Brussels would hang on and skate away with a 3-1 win. This win brought the team to a season record of 2-2. The PeeWee team also took on the Elma Logan on Wednesday, Nov 2 at the Blyth and District Community Centre, however a final score was unavailable at press time. Cyclones all bluster, PeeWee AE wins 2-2 The Blyth Brussels Midget Rep team celebrated three wins last week. The team won two over the weekend with a 2-1 win over Zurich thanks to two goals by Adam Cousins on Oct. 23 and a 3-2 win over Saugeen Shores with two goals being scored by McLean and Jeremy Ross adding one to take down Milverton 10-1 on Oct. 24 in their Blyth home-opener. Scoring for Blyth Brussels against Milverton were Jeremy Ross and Captain Shea McLean with three goals each and Brody Ten Pas and Matt VanWyk with two each. The three wins were a huge turn- around from their Brussels home- opener in which the Minto Mad Dogs beat them on home ice at the Brussels, Morris and Grey Community Centre 5-1. The Midgets are now 5-2 and in the middle of a three-game winning streak. They play next on Nov. 5 at the Brussels, Morris and Grey Community Centre at 5 p.m. BBMHA Midget Reps win three Lightning beat Aces, shutout Sarnia Sting Stephanie Sluys picked up her third consecutive shutout and Captain, Sara Gossell had a pair of goals as the Saugeen Maitland Lightning Midget AA had a pair of wins last weekend. On Saturday, the host Lightning edged the Sarnia Sting 3-0 with Sluys stopping all 18 Sting shots. On Sunday, Gossell scored two goals to help Saugeen to a 5-1 win over the Stratford Aces.

Assists were awarded to Lindsay Dales (three), Georgia Ottewell (two), Meigs (two), Brittany Butcher, Kelly Garrow, Harley Westman and Davidson. The Blyth Brussels Atom Local League team hosted Monkton on Saturday, Oct. 29 in a fast-paced game but neither could claim a win with the game finishing as a 2-2 tie. With both teams hungry for the puck the scoreboard was shy of numbers in the first period. Coming out in the second period Connor Brooks put one past the goalie to take the lead, but shortly after Monkton tied the game. With only minutes left in the third period, Brooks pushed another one past the goalie with the help of Devin Bridge. Monkton got another chance and tied it up and the game remained that way. Keeping Blyth Brussels on their toes and working hard between the pipes was Joe Jacklin. The tie brought the Atom LL team to a 1-1-1 season record. Their next game is Saturday, Nov. 5 in Blyth versus the Mitchell Meteors.
