The girls started on Friday morning with a game against the Markham Stouffville Stars. The girls came out strong, but fell behind 1-0 in the second period. However the girls did not give up and Reagan Kaufman and Jaime Van Loon (Walkerton) set up Tori Terpstra (Atwood) for the tying goal. Just over a minute later Cassidy Mason scored the game winner making the final score 2-1. On Friday evening, the Lightning took on the Mid Fairfield CT Stars. Once again the girls fell behind 1-0 before surging ahead to 3-1 in the third to win the game. Kaufman scored with assists going to Terpstra and Jordyn Sholdice (Brussels). Seven seconds later Mason fired a puck past the Stars goalie to take the lead. Terpstra added an insurance marker set up by Sholdice. On Saturday morning, the girls had a date with the East Coast Wizards. Unlike the first two games, the Lightning came out strong and scored the first three goals and holding the Wizards off for a 3-1 victory. Scoring for the Lightning were Kaufman, Terpstra and Mason with assists going to Delany Dupon and Mason. On Saturday afternoon, the girls faced off against the Alliance Bulldogs from Texas. The Lightning found the back of the net first, with Kaufman scoring with help from Taylor MacDonald (Mount Forest). But the girls from Texas battled back to hand the Lightning their first loss of the tournament. Elyse Wolski (Tiverton) made some great saves to keep the score close. The 3-1 record put them in first place and earned them a date with the Orangeville Tigers on Sunday morning. Orangeville opened the scoring, but Kaufman scored an unassisted goal to tie the game. Both teams then battled back and forth, through three periods, then overtime (one five-minute four-on-four period and a five-minute-three-on-three period. But that settled nothing. Then it was off to a shootout. Unfortunately the girls lost the shootout 3-2 and had to settle for a top-four finish in the tournament. Several players did not find the score sheet, but were still very important for the successful weekend. Sam Pruden (Howick) was the hardest-working player on the ice every shift. Emma MacMillan caused lots of trouble for the other teams in the front of the net for every power play. Rebecca Rier was a physical force in the corners. Ally Speilmacher was all over the ice making great passes and back checking, while Tori Harshman was strong all weekend long and even scored a beautiful goal in the shootout loss. In tough The Blyth Atom Local League Bulldogs were in action on Nov. 4, hosting Tiverton at the Blyth and Area Community Centre.

(Vicky Bremner photo) Brussels Atoms win, lose and draw over weekend On Sunday afternoon, the Atom Bulls travelled to Zurich to take on the Thunder. The game was close for much of the contest but once the Bulls found the net, they just kept coming. Noah Terpstra recorded the first three goals, one in every period, for a natural hattrick. Assisting on the first goal was Nolan Johnston. The second goal was assisted by Avery McArter and the third goal was assisted by Ted Jacklin and Brett Stevenson. With a little over four minutes remaining, Pipe scored assisted by Johnston and Jarron Thompson. Pipe made it 5-0 when he scored unassisted. Zurich spoiled Nick McArter’s shutout bid when they scored once at the three-minute mark and then again with 12.6 seconds remaining. The final score was 5-2 in favour of the Bulls. On Saturday, the Bulls travelled to Wingham for an afternoon exhibition game at the North Huron Wescast Community Complex. The Bulls never allowed Wingham to walk over them and the first period ended scoreless. Wingham scored first but the Bulls soon tied the score with Terpstra assisted by Pipe at the 7:13 mark of the second. Wingham regained the lead into the third period with a score of 2-1. Wingham added another goal to take a two- goal lead. Cue the comeback. With only 3:56 left, A. McArter broke through the defence, assisted by Hudson Smith, and then A. McArter scored his second of the game assisted by Pipe to tie the game at three with 1:30 left in the game. Thompson was solid in net again. On Friday night, the Bulls played the first game of a three-game weekend for the Atom Bulls as they travelled to Seaforth to take on the Stars. The game proved to be a wake-up call after a long day as the Stars handed the Bulls a 10-0 drubbing. Nov. 2 saw the Atoms travel to Milverton to take on the Drives. Milverton opened the scoring late in the first period but that seemed to wake up the Bulls as Pipe assisted by N. McArter got the Bulls on the board with 2:46 left in the first and then Pipe, unassisted, scored 13 seconds later. Milverton scored twice in the second period to take the lead, but Pipe scored again assisted by Terpstra with only 1.9 seconds left in the period to knot the game at three each. The third period solved nothing as Thompson and his Drive counterpart were solid in net as the game remained tied at three. The next action for the Atom Bulls is next Sunday in Listowel at 3 p.m. The Blyth Bantam Local League Bulldogs hosted the Mount Forest Rams on Monday, Nov. 1 and put on a great show. Blyth struck first getting one by Blyth’s netminder Dalton Carey approximately five minutes into the first period. Quinton Sjaarda put Blyth on the board with 8:29 left in the first. Mount Forest struck back twice putting two more in Blyth’s net. Curtis Raynard got Blyth their second of the night with assists going out to Daymien Brak and Ryan Plunkett. The period ended with Blyth down 3-2. The second period was a shutout at both ends of the ice. There were also a number of penalties on both sides. Mount Forest was able to find the back of the net in the dying minutes of the second to put them up by two. Mount Forest struck first again in the third, followed quickly with a goal from Kyle Pollard assisted by Jeremy Grisdale. Mount Forest got two more unanswered goals. To finish the third, Sjaarda got his second of the game. The final score was 7-4 in favour of Mount Forest. RIDE SAFE DRIVE SOBER O.F.S.C.
