THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 2010.Sports Brussels Atoms win three, drop Mitchell game 13-1 The Brussels Atom Bulls welcomed the Mitchell Meteors on Oct. 29, but were unable to coninue their three game winning streak. Mitchell beat the Bulls 13-1. On Oct. 25, the Brussels Atom Bulls were on the road in Monkton to take on the Elma-Logan Wildcats winning by a score of 6-1. Jarron Thompson was outstanding in net as Elma-Logan applied all sorts of pressure in the first period but both the Bulls and Wildcats could not get on the board. The Bulls opened the scoring when Jack Pipe scored, assisted by Ted Jacklin. A minute and a half later the Bulls went up 2-0 when Noah Terpstra scored assisted by Hudson Smith. Nick McArter made it a 3-0 game when he scored after banging in a rebound on Avery McArter’s shot from the point. The third period saw Brussels increase the lead when Pipe broke through the defence and then flipped a puck over the Elma-Logan goalie, scoring just 58 seconds in, and then Pipe again, when he converted a nice passing play from N. McArter and Smith. Brett Stevenson then scored unassisted to complete the scoring for Brussels. Thompson was 33.3 seconds away from a shutout when the Wildcats finally solved him after a scramble which resulted in the only tally for Elma-Logan. The Atom Bulls have put in some great effort and hard work this past weekend which has allowed them to get two wins on the road against three good teams. On Oct. 23 the Bulls headed for Goderich to take on the Sailors at the Maitland Recreation Centre in an afternoon affair. This game was exciting from the drop of the puck, ending with a score of 5-2 in favour of Brussels. N. McArter had the backstop duties for this one and matched stop for stop with his counterpart from Goderich. Both goalies managed to keep the game scoreless through two periods. The third period was a different story, as both teams put the puck in the net. Just 24 seconds into the third period, Goderich put the first goal in, but 17 seconds later Pipe scored unassisted to tie the game at one. The Sailors took the lead again in the third but once again the Bulls tied the score when Terpstra put the puck by the Goderich Goalie to knot the game at two. With great end-to-end action it was the Bulls that continued the scoring when Nolan Johnston broke the tie unassisted and then the Bulls would never look back as Smith scored, assisted by Brent Alexander and then Terpstra added an empty- net goal as Goderich had pulled their goalie for an extra attacker making the final score 5-2 for the Atom Bulls. The Bulls showed great intensity which allowed them to skate away with a well-earned road win. On Oct. 22, the Listowel Cyclones came to town for the Bull’s second home game and start of three games in four days resulting in a 4-3 win for Brussels. The Bulls got on the board first with Nolan Johnston scoring assisted by Pipe. At the 5:44 mark, the Bulls took a 2-0 lead when A. McArter scored with an assist going to Pipe. Listowel came within one by the end of the first period after a late goal. The second period saw Brussels increase the lead when Terpstra scored assisted by Smith. Listowel was unable to put a goal past Thompson who was solid in net for the Bulls until late in the third period, but that was after Terpstra got his second of the game assisted by Stevenson and Johnston. This made the final score 4-3 in favour of the Bulls to make their home record perfect thus far in their young season. We’re the country store with more!

They won the game by a slim margin, taking home a 1-0 victory. (Vicky Bremner photo) Blyth Bantams shut-out Drayton Defenders 10-0 in home game The Drayton Defenders came to The Dog Pound on Oct. 25 and got stoned by Blyth’s hot goalie Dalton (Eddie) Carey. After sitting out the last game, Matt VanWyk was on a mission, scoring twice in the opening period. Assisting on Matt’s goals were his brother Mike, and Wyatt Carey. Not wanting to be outdone both Arden Coultes and Robbie Gordon each put a puck by Drayton’s goalie as well. Gordon had the assist on one, A. Coultes’s goal, and Dustin Pennington assisted on both. So the first period ended with Blyth up by four unanswered goals. In the second period, the Blyth boys took a number of penalties, five to be exact. Spencer Stevenson stepped up to get Blyth back on the correct path scoring the first goal of the second with assists going to Mike VanWyck and Dallas Coultes. Not to be outdone by his brother, Matt got two pucks by the Drayton goalie, assisting on one was Spencer. Finishing out the second period, Carey was able to bury one thanks to a great pass from Matt VanWyck. At the end of the second period Blyth was up 8-0. Between the second and third the ice cleaner was out, so the boys were in the dressing room for the big pep talk from coach Scott Stevenson, likely short and sweet. So back to the ice for the final fifteen minutes of play and Drayton was starting to show frustration as they had four trips to the penalty box. Matt VanWyck was able to get that hattrick with a nifty pass from Carey. It seems what goes around comes around as Carey buried his second puck of the game on a pass from, you guessed it Matt Van Wyck. The final buzzer came with Blyth winning 10-0 and Carey earning his first shut out of the season. A quick thanks goes out to Sharon Westburg, who made her season debut as the team trainer when required. Blyth Midgets continue win streak with big wins in Ripley, Drayton The Blyth Midget Rep Bulldogs put two in the win column as they visited Clifford and Ripley on Oct. 24 and 25. The Bulldogs beat Ripley 2-1 and Clifford 16-1, bringing their season to a perfect three wins and no losses. Things would get heated up in the second, with both teams warming the penalty box. Ripley would be the first to hit the twine at 8:09 in the second. Blyth would tie things up with 2:10 left in the same period. Shea McLean would put Blyth on the scoreboard with assists by Matt Chalmers and Matt Popp. The second would end in a 1-1 tie. After the flood, tempers cooled down, but that didn’t stop the big hits. Blyth would stay out of the box for the remainder of the game however, the opponents were not as lucky. During a Ripley penalty, Blyth scored at 6:51 of the third again by McLean. Assists went to Chalmers and John Lecomte. Ripley would continue to apply pressure on Blyth right to the end of the game. Goalie, Ryan Baker was strong in the net for Blyth. On Sunday, Oct. 24, the Blyth Midget Rep Bulldogs travelled to Clifford for their season opener. This squad of players from both Blyth and Brussels applied pressure in the Clifford end right from the initial face off. With 5:06 left in the first, Clifford was first on the scoreboard. With three minutes left in the first, Blyth would even it up. Jeremy Ross would score the first goal of the season, with assists to Adam Cousins and Matt Popp. Blyth never eased up on the pressure. Ten more goals were scored in the second with another five in the third. Clifford fought hard the entire game, but they were no match for the team. Scoring in the second and third periods were Austin Sjaarda, Lecomte (4), Chalmers (2) Ross (2), Aaron Popp (2), McLean (2), Kirby Cook and Jacob McGavin. Assists went to Ross, McGavin (2), Chalmers (4), Lecomte (3), McLean (3), M. Popp (3), Adam Cronin (2), Cook and Kody Higgins.
