BYLOISMcARTER
The Brussels Junior ‘D’ Bulls
travelled to Wellesley on Tuesday
night for the fifth game in their best
of seven playoff series holding a 3-1
lead in games.
You knew from the drop of the
first puck that the Applejacks were
out for a victory and it looked like
the official in charge wasn’t going
to let the Bulls touch the home team
as he started assessing penalties
after the first minute of play, but he
levelled off and the Bulls picked up
only eight penalties and the
Applejacks 10 in the 70 minutes of
play.
Wellesley capitalized on one of
those early penalties to the Bulls
and scored the first goal after just
3:18 of play for their power play
effort. The Bulls came back just
five minutes later on a return
power play when Mike Chapman
scored from defenceman Bill
Haines and Tim Fritz.
They had played 15:05 of the first
period when Ron Strome scored
the go-ahead goal from Mike
Chapman and Stuart Bowman. But
Wellesley came back just 58
seconds later to score again and the
first period ended tied at two.
The teams had played about 10
minutes of the second period when
Mike Chapman scored his second
power play goal from Tim Fritz and
Kevin McArter to put Brussels
ahead. The teams had played 12:59
of the period when Brussels added
the fourth goal as Greg Crummer
scored from Tim Fritz. The remain
der of the period was scoreless."
The Bulls must have relaxed too
much between periods as their
respectable 4-2 lead quickly disap
peared as the Applejacks came out
and scored three goals in the first
four minutes and eight seconds of
the period to suddenly hold a 5-4
lead on the scoreboard.
Some very boisterous support
from the large turnout of Brussels
fans finally got the Bulls motivated
and Ron Strome came up with his
second goal from Chapman and
Fritz after 8:59 had been played in
thethirdperiod. The remaining
11:01 minutes of the period had
both teams making good end-to-
end rushes but both goalies came
through with good saves to keep
the crowd gasping in some heart
stopping action and after sixty
minutes of play the score held at a
5-5 tie.
Friday
The teams took a short breather
and lined up for a 10-minute
overtime period. The same see
saw action continued as both teams
had chances but couldn’t break the
barriers.
Finally with 2:06 remaining on
the clock the Bulls had made a rush
on the net when Kevin McArter
stepped in over the blue line to
retrieve a loose puck and blast a
shot past the goalie to put the Bulls
ahead with Tim Fritz getting an
assist on the play. It proved to be
the winning goal.
The Applejacks in an attempt to
tie the score once more pulled their
goalie in favour of an extra
attacker. Within 40 seconds Mike
Chapman flipped a rolling puck
down the ice that got by the home
defence to roll and curve perfectly
into an empty net. Fritz and Haines
picked up assists on the play and
once more gave the Bulls a
two-goal lead.
Brian Campbell scored a second
empty net goal at the nine minute
mark on a pass from Kevin Lee to
give the Bulls a sound 8-5 victory.
This win eliminated Wellesley
from any further play this season.
The Bulls will now meet the
Exeter Hawks who eliminated
Mitchell on Friday night for the
north division title. The first game
of the series will be played in
Exeter on Friday night at 8:30 p.m.
with the second game expected to
be back in Brussels on Sunday at 2
p.m. A booster fan bus is planned.
Those wanting to go may sign up at
J.R.’s and the bus will be leaving
from the parking lot behind the
Brussels Hotel.
