given six shots on his net.
Scoring for Brussels were
Lexi Smith with two, Nick Zwep,
Hayden TenPas, Mitch Kellington
and Ben Hruska. Assisting were
TenPas, Logan and Mitch
Kellington.
On really impressive goal was a
pass from Hruska from behind the
net to Kellington to Zwep for the
goal.
Brussels made an impressive 30
shots on the BCH net.
Brussels ended the season in
second with 13 wins, one loss and
two ties, giving them 28 points, only
one point behind first-place
Milverton.

All stars
The Try Hards from 94.5 The Bull teamed up with seven
former NHLers to take on the Wingham Ironmen alumni all
star team last Friday for the North Huron All-Star game in
Wingham as part of North Huron Hockey Days. The NHLers
must have brought some talent to the table, because they
won the contest despite antics like ordering pizza to the
bench in the third period and replacing their goalie with a
pylon. (Shawn Loughlin photo)
Atoms end season with style
The Blyth Midget girls Black Ice
broomball team faced off against
Palmerston Friday night.
The Palmerston team has
improved and provided a good
challenge for the Black Ice.
The Blyth girls first chance came
with Cassie Salverda in front of the
net and the goalie down, but she
flipped the ball right over the net.
The Black Ice started to put the
pressure on Palmerston. Their first
goal came when Hayley Pavao’s shot
rebounded to Niki Beyersbergen
who fired the ball into the net.
The Palmerston goalie did well to
keep the Black Ice from running
away with the game. The Black Ice
managed one more goal when Pavao
and Beyersbergen teamed up to get
the ball to Karly Howard, who
stuffed it into the corner of the net.
Palmerston picked it up a bit later
in the second half. A shot from the
faceoff circle slipped past the Blyth
goalie, Amy Root to put Palmerston
on the scoreboard.
Blyth came back and pounded
Palmerston with shots in the last few
minutes of play but could not beat
the goalie. The game ended in a 2-1
win for the Black Ice.
In the corners
One of the ABCDD Gals works her way up the boards last
Saturday as part of Redneck hockey night in North Huron
at the Blyth Community Centre, the Saturday night main
event of North Huron Hockey Days. The game ended in a
tie as the fun moved upstairs to the lounge where food,
drink and Redneck games took over into the early morning.

The Wingham club was well
represented in the zone division of
the Fairfield Mariott Challenge
Bonspiel at Walkerton on the
weekend by a rink skipped by
Shawn Cottrill with brother Chris at
lead and two of Shawn’s
schoolmates at Windsor University
the Laurin twins from Ayr, Mike
and Rob. The boys started the
bonspiel on fire soundly defeating
Veitch from Listowel, Lewikoski
from Goderich Maitland and Doig
of Seaforth.
This put the rink into the A finals
against the Walkerton foursome
skipped by Mike Niesen. The
Cottrill rink picked up one in the
first and blanked the second. Thenthe Walkerton rink took over and atthe end of the sixth were up 6-1.The Wingham boys, real
competitors, did not give up and a
big four in the seventh put them
right back in the games with the
score 6-5.
There was excitement galore in
the eighth. On Shawn’s last rock he
made a terrific shot putting his rock
through a narrow point. As the rock
slid towards the button all eyes in
the clubhouse were focused on the
rock. Unfortunately the rock slid
just inches too far and Walkerton
had the victory.
As this was the Wingham rink’s
first loss they now faced the B side
winners the Bell rink from Mount
Forest. The winner would advance
to the Ontario finals in two weeks at
Trenton. One missed shot in the
first end put the Cottrill rink in a big
hole as they gave up five. A gamble
to close the gap in the second
backfired and the boys gave up
another four.
Down an unsurmountable
amount in the fourth the boys
admitted defeat and congratulated
their opponents.
Despite coming so close to
qualifying for the Ontario finals the
boys had a great experience, played
some terrific games against tough
opposition and the club was
certainly mighty proud of them.
