The Brussels Atom Reps faced off
against Bothwell on Friday night in
Brussels, tied at a game each.
It was a very intense game with
lots of passing, stealing and shots on
both sides. When Bothwell got a
penalty for tripping, Mitch
Kellington was able to score for
Brussels to take a 1-0 lead.
Bothwell came back to tie it up
shortly into the second.
With only five minutes left in the
period, Kellington again netted one,
this time assisted by Lexi Smith and
Scott Dolmage.
Brussels pulled off a 3-1 victory
when Nic Zwep scored near the end
of the third, assisted by Hayden
TenPas and Tim Waechter. For game
four, in Bothwell, Brussels had the
advantage of a 2-1 series lead.
Bothwell lit the scoreboard first at
the end of the first period.
Smith scored early in the second
off a smooth pass from Taylor
Higgins. Not a minute later,
Waechter scored a definite one-
timer to give Brussels a 2-1 lead.
Bothwell scored minutes later to
tie it up.
Near the end of the second,
Kellington passed the puck out front
to Austin Johnston to give Brussels a
3-2 lead.
The pressure was on. Bothwell
tied it up in the middle of the third.
Several more shots on net were
made by both teams. With just 1:33
left on the clock, Kellington passed
the puck to Waechter who netted
it, top shelf, to give Brussels a 4-3
lead.
Goalie Matt McNichol was able to
keep Bothwell from scoring
anymore and countless throughout
the game.
After a very, very, long, snowy
drive home, the kids (and parents)
celebrated their series victory at
Tim’s.
The OMHA final series is against
Flesherton. As of press time, there
was no set schedule. Check with the
players or parents for game times.
Enroute to victory
It’s been a busy beginning to March for Blyth Atom Reps as
they’ve played against Wallace and Drayton. The team
defeated Wallace on home ice March 3 by a score of 4-1,
then shellacked them the following night 6-0. On March 5
they beat Drayton 3-0. (Vicky Bremner photo)
The Brussels Novices won both
games last week to send them on to
the WOAA Novice finals in the
Jacobi division.
They played against Minto last
Wednesday night, in Brussels, with a
full roster to skate away with a 5-1
win. Brussels took 16 shots on the
Minto net.
Scoring for Brussels were
Delayna Smith with two, and Logan
Kellington with three. Assisting
were Wyatt Machan, Daniel Fritz,
Noah Terpstra and Kailey Wheeler.
Daniel Fritz helped Derrick
Waechter in net when he stopped
one of the Minto rebounds.
Waechter made 15 saves.
Friday night saw them playing
again in Brussels. Before the game,
the kids were presented with a
keeper trophy from the Blyth Novice
tournament, champs for the C
division.
It was also a great boost to be
cheered on by the entire Brussels
Atom Reps, who played right
after.
Kellington was quick to light up
the board, scoring at just 45 seconds
into the game, assisted by Smith.
Minto came back to tie it at the end
of the first.
In the second period, Kellington
scored the second to take a 2-1 lead,
again assisted by Smith.
Brussels skated off with the 2-1
win. Coach Wheeler kept his
promise to the team and is now
sporting a new hole in his ear.
Now they face either Shallow
Lake or Chatsworth.
Hard-fought
A game with serious implications was the toast of the town last Friday as Bothwell travelled to
Brussels to play the third game in their best-of-five series. Going into the third game, the teams
were tied with one game each, but the Brussels Atom Rep team came out on top with the
home fans on their side by a score of 3-1. (Shawn Loughlin photo)
Atoms off to OMHA finals
Breathe through
a straw
for 60 seconds.
That’s what
breathing is like
with cystic fibrosis.
No wonder so many
people with CF
stop breathing
in their early 30s.
