If heart and desire could win
hockey games the Brussels Juniors
would be the Western Jr. C
championship. Unfortunately a
tired Bulls club playing its 17th
game in 36 nights lost a hard-
fought 3-2 game to Hanover last
Tuesday giving the Barons a 4-2
series win and their sixth consecu
tive league championship.
In front of one of the largest
crowds ever to witness a hockey
game in the Brussels “Barn”
Hanover opened the scoring eight
minutes into second period play.
The Bulls tied the score when
Marty Rutledge slid home a center
ing pass at the 15-minute mark, but
Hanover regained the lead with
three minutes remaining, then
surprised Brussels with a short-
handed tally with 40 seconds left on
the clock.
Corey McKee brought the Bulls
to within one scoring early in third
period play and while the Juniors
dug deep, time simply ran out.
Hanover now advances to the
All-Ontario quarter-finals vs. the
Parry Sound Saints, winners of the
Georgian Bay League.
Despite the disappointing loss
the Bulls should be proud of the
achievements of their first year in
Jr. C action which include:
•Compiling a 20-8-2 record for a
.700 winning percentage, the best
by far in their club’s history, and
finishing solidly in second place 4
points behind the Hanover club.
•Being the only club to win or tie
on Hanover Coliseum ice this
season and holding a 6 win - 5 loss -
1 tie advantage over the Barons for
the 1989-90 season.
•Posting the best home ice
record in regular season play, an
incredible 13-1-1 won-loss streak,
allowing only 39 goals scored
against.
•Having the best specialty teams
in the league, tying for first
powerplay goals with Goderich and
shorthanded goals with Hanover.
