Fans saw a real cliffhanger last Wednesday at the Brussels, Morris
and Grey Community Centre when the home-town Midgets did battle
with the Howick team | in white]. The Howick boys looked as if they had
the game tied up, until the last few minutes of the third period, when
Brussels surged back, scoring a goal in the last 14 seconds of play to
finish in a 5-5 tie. Above, it’s a near miss as the Howick goalie deflects
the puck just past the net.

well-played game.

Brussels Peewees beat Blyth
BY CHRIS LEE
Brussels Atoms continued to be
undefeated in regular league play
as they travelled to Kurtzville on
Jan.2todefeat Wallace 3 -1. On
Monday night a three-goal per
formance by Brett Clarkson lead
the team to a 5 - 0 trouncing in
Belmore.
The Harriston tournament was
opened this weekend with a game
against a stubborn Mount Forest
team which subsequently won the
consolation championship. Goals
by Todd Machan, Greg Fritz and
Matt Lee produced a 3 - 0 win.
Steady consistent play defeated
Harriston 4 - 0 later that afternoon
as Wayne Alexander tallied twice
with Ryan Finch and Brett Clark
son each getting one.
Sunday afternoon against Pal
merston the boys got it into second
gear steadily piled up eight goals
while the defence shut down any
effort to counter. Jason Kieffer
recorded his fourth straight shut
out. Brett Clarkson opened the
scoring and later added two
assists. Ryan Finch and Wayne
Alexander each scored once with
two assists. Greg Fritz added two
goals and Matt Lee had a hat trick.
The championship game reveal
ed that team has good reason to call
themselves the “incredible”
atoms as met and defeated a strong
Howick team. Constant forecheck
ing, six-man defence and fast
offensive breakout led to a goal
from the point by Todd Machan
assisted by Brett Clarkson before
the end of the first period. After
being stymied by the Howick
goalie’s butterfly style Matt Lee
struck twice to the high right hand
corner assisted by Tim Machan,
Brad Beuermann and Brett Clark
son. Howick replied with two
minutes left in the period, but Todd
Machan fed Matt Lee one more
time to close the period. Brett
Clarkson, Wayne Alexander and
Matt Lee combined for the fifth
goal.
Perhaps the only defensive lapse
of game permitted a final goal by
Howick with 17 seconds remain
ing.
The boys were generously prais
ed by the tournament organizers
fortheir determined, hard skating,
disciplined hockey as they accept
ed the championship trophy.
A re-match with Howick is
scheduled for Jan. 30 in Brussels.
This Friday features what should
be a competitive Lucknow team.
The Brussels Peewees were at
home to Drayton on Friday night
and were defeated by the visitors 5
- 1. Brent Evans scored Brussels
only goal.
The Peewees also participated in
the annual Legion tournament Cl

They played Blyth at noon in

Ripley. Blyth scored the first and
only goal of the first period.
Brussels’ Darren Johnston assist-

goal of the second period to tie the
game.
The coach must have handed out
a pep talk at the break because the
boys responded with four unansw
