Playoff format leaves
Bulls with mystery
The Brussels Bulls management
travelled to Belmont Monday night
in order to set up the 1989 playoff
schedule. Problems had arisen over
the procedure used to determine
the final standings.
There are three grdups of Junior
D Hockey in Ontario: the Western
Jr D, North Division in which the
Bulls play; the Western Jr D South
Division in which teams in the
London area play, and the Southern
Counties League situated in the
Brantford-Woodstock area.
The OHA has decided to com
bine the three groups into an east
and west division for playoffs which
means Brussels, Exeter, Lucan,
Mitchell, Seaforth, Tavistock, and
Wellesley will be joined by teams
from Alvinston, Mt. Brydges and
Thedford to form a 10-team nest
division with the two bottom teams
not making playoffs. The problem
occurs because Mt. Brydges,
Alvinston and Thedford play a
35-game schedule while the Bulls
play a 36 game schedule. Therefore
a “Final” decision had to be
reached on whether a point system
or a won-loss percentage format
could be used to determine final
standings.
All that’s known for sure is the
first place team plays the fifth,
second vs. sixth, third vs. seventh
and fourth vs. eighth.
To complicate matters only three
points separated the second place
club from the sixth place club. Also
nobody wants to finish fifth and
play the Lucan Irish who finished
the regular season with 30 wins and
six losses.
Either way the Bulls hope to
open the ‘89 playoffs at home
sometime this weekend.
Marty Rutledge won the league
scoring championship and finished
as the top point getter for the three
leagues of Junior D hockey.

Brussels Novices win, tie
On Friday, Feb. 17, Brussels
Novice Team played Howick in the
first game of playoffs at Brussels.
The team played its best game of
the season and came out on top 5 -
0.
Steve Machan scored three goals
and Andrew Exel, two. Brett
Fischer had two assists with Corey
Newman and Chad McCallum, one
each. Jamie Thomas earned the
shut-out with excellent help from
defence people Joanne VanKeulen,
Jeff Finch, Josh Beuermann and
Brett Fischer.
Up front, Scott Clarkson played
an excellent checking game and
Glen VanBeek was strong along the
boards. Every player skated hard
and completely dominated Howick.
On Saturday, the team played
Howick to a 2-2 tie. The team came
out sluggish for the first two
periods and fell behind 1-0. In the
third period Corey Newman made a
great scoring play to tie the game.
However, Howick scored with
seven minutes left to take the lead.
Brussels outplayed Howick through
the rest of the period but couldn’t
bag a goal. With 25 seconds left,
Brussels pulled the goalie and the
move resulted in a goal by Steve
Machan with assists from Brett
Fischer and Scott Clarkson. The
game then went into a 10 minute
overtime, but neither team could
score. The series now comes back
to Brussels on Friday, Feb. 24 at
6:45 p.m.
