Brussels Bantams win Tara consolation title
Brussels Bantams travelled to
Tara tournament this weekend and
brought home their first champion
ship of the season.
After having two dismal perfor
mances over Christmas in regular
season play the team lept into the
lead early in the first game against
Acton. Brad Beuermann unleashed
a shot fed to him by Mike Bromley
at 3:13. A titanic struggle ensued
as Acton picked up two in the
second period. With six minutes
left Wayne Alexander took another
feed from Mike Bromley, broke in
with checkers climbing all over him
to stuff it home. Acton scored on a
power play in the closing minutes
to send Brussels to the consolation
semi-final.
Sunday’s game against Milver
ton looked like retribution for
Brussels’ pre-Christmas loss as
Wayne Alexander rolled up a hat-
trick with assists from Brian Van
Steelandt, Greg Fritz and Ryan
Finch. Then with a minute to go in
the second period the Brussels’
goalie was ejected from the game.
Both teams retired to the dressing
room where Mike Bromley donned
the goalie’s armor. Milverton came
out determined to fire at the net on
every available occasion while
Brussels attempted to protect their
lead. Milverton was stymied by
Mike’s unique “back catcher”
style but did manage to score
twice. Then Mark Robinson and
Ryan Finch slammed home a pair
of insurance goals with assist from
Brian Van Steelandt. Milverton
scored once more in the closing
seconds but Brussels advanced to
the Consolation championship.
Brussels maintained their fast-
paced, hard-hitting style into the
game with Owen Sound. In the first
period constant offensive pressure
produced one goal by Ryan Finch
and Matt Lee and another by Mike
Bromley and Brad Beuermann.
Owen Sound used their size to
advantage in the second period to
control the boards in the Brussels’
end and produce two goals for a tie.
Brussels’ adjusted their tactics and
Mark Robinson slammed home a
Tim Coultes pass at 9:51 of the
third period. Owen Sound respond
ed on a power play minutes later
and despite furious end-to-end
action the game went into over
time. Brussels’ capitalized on the
balance of their lines and wore
down the overworked stars of the
Owen Sound team. Wayne Alexan
der shrugged off a couple of checks
after taking a Pete Gusso pass and
drove to the net to clinch the
championship.
The team should be commended
for an exciting, disciplined perfor
mance against excellent opposi
tion.
