Bulls can do no right in playoff series
The Brussels Bulls continued
their round-robin playoff series in
Seaforth on Saturday night.
The effort was in vain as far as
their own hopes were concerned
but they could have played the part
of spoiler as far as the other teams
wereconcerned. Ifthe full team
had appeared at the arena to play,
those chances would have been
possible but half a line-up is not
sufficient to do the job.
Seaforth opened the scoring at
the one minute mark of the first
period and never looked back.
They added four more goals (much
to goalie Jeff McGavin’s dispair)
before Brussels got on the score
board. Murray Dewar assisted by
Tom Newbigging and Rollie Smith
combined for the only goal of the
period for Brussels while Seaforth
added one more before the period
ended 6 - 1 in their favour.
Seaforth continued on to add two
Blyth Atoms tie two
games in the week
It was a week when Blyth Atoms
found themselves tied up: with
Friday’s storm tying them up from
getting to Huron Park and two
other games ending in ties.
Theweekstarted with agame
against Brussels where the start
ing Brussels goaltender prevented
a Blyth win. Brett Lee started out in
goal for Brussels but in the third
period, took off the goal pads and
roared out on offence to score two
goals for a 2-2 tie.
Mike McNichol had given Blyth
a lead iathe first period with an
unassisted goal. Kevin Souch
closed out the second period with a

BY RUSTY BLADES
There is not much to report on
the novice hockey scene this week
but, to keep my loyal readers in
Portershill informed, 1 will explain
the week’s events.
Mother Nature played havoc
with the Blyth Lions novice
tournament last Saturday. The
event was cancelled and is tenta
tively set for Saturday, March 22.
More on that as details are
announced.
The only game action recorded
this past week was on Wednesday
night as the novices and atoms
faced off again. This was another
great game as the atoms, with their
regular team, evened the season
series with a 4 - 0 victory. The
novice goalie was unable to attend
so they used one of the many atom
goalies. This might explain why
Tyler Craig, who recorded the hat
trick for the atoms, was observed
handing the goalie a nice cold pop
after the game. Atom coach Tony
Van Bakel had another one of his
famous “visions” after the game.
In this “vision” he saw the atoms
and novices playing a third game to
declare a series winner. After this
third game he “pictured’’ the
Citizen editor and publisher, Keith
Roulston, presenting refresh
ments to both teams on behalf of
his loyal, unpaid hockey reporters.
Sounds good, eh kids?
The novices are in Wingham on
Thursday night at 6 o’clock for an
exhibition game. Then they are off
to Teeswater this Saturday for
another tournament. Blyth plays
their first game at 10 o’clock
against Ripley.
more goals in the second and take a
commanding lead. The third per
iod had Tom Newbigging and
Murray Dewar combining for
Brussels’ second goal of the game.
Seaforth added another goal be
fore Tom Newbigging unassisted
scored for Brussels at the 10-
minute mark of the period. Sea
forth scored one more to make it a
10-3 score before the game ended.
The Bull’s were at home Sunday
night to the Grand Valley Harves
ters once more with only half a
team, but they provided an
excellent game of hockey.
Grand Valley opened the scoring
with just38 seconds into the period
which had every indication of being
another wide open hockey game.
Butthatwas nottobesowith Kevin
McArter scoring unassisted for
Brussels to tie the game shortly
after. Tom Newbigging on a pass
from Tim Fritz scored for the Bulls
late goal assisted by Conrad Bos
and Tyler Craig. Then Mr. Lee
went to work with two goals, one
from Todd Machan and one
unassisted to end the game in a
deadlock.
Sunday afternoon the team
travelled to Goderich where they
continued to show fine defence but
had problems in converting their
chances around the opposition’s
net. It was a good workout for the
team with only nine skaters
present.
After a scoreless first period,
roving defenceman Danny Van
Bakel hammered home a centering
pass from Craig Roulston and
Kevin Souch to give Blyth the lead
early in the second. The lead held
up thanks to a couple of good saves
of Brian Van Steelandt in the Blyth
nets at one end and a lot of
shot-blocking by the Goderich
Defence in the other end.
But early in the third Goderich
scored to tie the game. Despite
plenty of opportunities, including
one hit-goalpost, Blyth couldn’t
put the puck in the net for the rest of
the way.
to give Brussels a 2 -1 lead. Before
the period ended the Valley scored
to tie the game and managed to
beat goalie Mike Smith for one
more goal before the period ended.
Brussels was dominating the
play and the Valley goalie continu
ed to make the saves. Kevin
McArter scored his second of the
game unassisted to give Brussels
the tying goal of three each. The
Valley once more was successful at
taking the lead before the period
ended.
Brussels bombarded the Valley
goalie with shots and finally Tom
Newbigging was successful at
tippingonepastthegoalie once
more to give the lead to the Bulls.
The Bulls had to play the last
seven minutes of the game short-
handed after one of the players
took a fighting major after being
struck in the throat by an oppon
ent’s stick. The team played well
and carried the play to the visitors
but were unable to hold the Valley
off as they got the go-ahead goal in
the dying minutes of the game.
Brusselsout-shotthe Valley 41 -
27 and certainly deserved the win
butthe Grand Valley goalie and
three goal-post shots kept the
visitors alive during the seven
minute short-handed play.
After this weekend Grand Valley
and Tavistock are tied at 10 points
each and Seaforth is right behind
with 8 points. All games will be
completed by this weekend with
the two top teams playing off for
the northern division.
