the second period of Sunday's victory in Brussels. The Bulls gave two Wingham goaltenders
a rough time as they pumped in nine goals.
Rough ride
Blyth Atoms undefeated
Bulls still on a roll
Blyth Atoms remain undefeated
in the early part of their hockey
season.
In the first game of the season
the team scored a 5-2 win over
Stephen Township in Huron Park.
Jeff Cowan led the way with
four goals, including three unassist
ed goals in the third period. He also
scored a second period goal from
Mike Courtney to tie the game after
Stephen township had taken the
lead. Michael Haggitt scored from
Michael Ansley for the other Blyth
goal.
On Nov. 2, the team scored
twice in the first period, then hung
on for a tight 2-1 win over
Mitchell. Michael Haggitt and Dar
ryl Bromley scored the first-period
goals then Mitchell came back to
get their lone goal in the third.
In a game Nov. 14, the team
outscored Hensail 8-4 on home ice.
Michael Courtney opened the
scoring for Blyth with an assist
from Michael Haggitt. After Hen
sail had tied the score and then
gone ahead, Courtney again scored
from Amanda Anderson with just
39 seconds left in the period to tie
the score.
Early in the second Michael
Haggitt put Blyth ahead to stay
when he was set up by Michael
Ansley and Trevor Wilson. Aman
da Anderson extended the lead with
a goal from Michaels Haggitt and
Courtney. Hensail got one back but
Darryl Bromley restored the two-
goal lead with 26 seconds left in
the period when he scored from
Jamie Black and Jeff Cowan.
Hensall narrowed the gap early
in the third but six seconds later
Bromley again scored from Jeff
Cowan to widen the lead. After that
it was all Blyth as Michael Haggitt
scored two more goals with Aman
da Anderson assisting on the first.
On Nov. 15 the team scored an
8-3 win in Bayfield. The team got a
fast start as Darryl Bromley scored
from Jeff Cowan to tie the score
with just 32 seconds gone in the
first period. Bayfield came back to
tie the game before the period
ended.
The team then pumped in five
second period goals before Bay-
field could mount a reply to pretty
well sew up the victory. Jeff
Cowan started the five-goals-in-
four-minutes onslaught with a goal
from Corey Shannon. Just 26 sec
onds later it was Michael Courtney
from Michael Haggitt and Amanda
Anderson. Just over a minute later
Chris Carter scored from Darryl
Bromley and 30 seconds after that
it was Michael Haggitt on an unas
sisted goal. Amanda Anderson fin
ished off the offensive with a goal
from Michaels Haggitt and Court
ney.
Bayfield scored twice before the
second period ended but that was as
close as they got. In the third period
Michael Courtney scored from
Amanda Anderson, then Michael
Haggitt scored an unassisted goal
to end the scoring.
Belgrave Novices
tie Huron Park
Belgrave Novices skated to a 1-
1 draw when they visited Huron
Park Nov. 16.
Craig Marks opened the scoring
for Belgrave in the first but Huron
Park came back to tie the score and
the teams played scoreless for the
rest of the way.
Kyle Anderson in goal made
good saves when tested but his
teammates limited the number of
shots he had to face. The two teams
were evenly matched but Belgrave
had a couple of near misses, ring
ing shots of the goal posts.
Belgrave's next game is Dec. 1
at 2:30 in Goderich.
The Brussels Bulls picked up
three of a possible four points in
two games this weekend and
remain in first place in the Western
Junior C standings. The Bulls
improved their record to 11-1-2,
but Hanover won Friday night so
their record is now 9-1 -1.
The Bulls went into Grand Val
ley for a rare Saturday night game
and skated out with a come-from-
behind 4-4 tie. The Bulls had a 3-2
lead heading into the third, but
Grand Valley came out firing.
Darryl Handcock tied the game five
minutes into the third. Then with
Corey McKee in the penalty box,
the Harvesters needed just five sec
onds on the power play to take a 4-
3 lead. Chris Williamese buried a
pass from Handcock.
The Bulls tied it with 3:27 left in
the game, as Jeff McKee took a
pass from Ted Sills and slipped it
through the legs of the Harvester's
goalie.
Coach Scott Pettigrew says,
“Grand Valley is tough at home
and gets pumped up for the big
teams. They beat Hanover at home
and have played very well against
us three times this year. I thought
Sam Kulafofski played a strong
game which is important to our
offence.”
On Sunday night the struggling
I would like to thank the
voters of Grey Township
for their support at the
polls.

Wingham Ironmen were no match
for the high-powered Bulls offence.
Brussels pounded the visitors 9-1.
Greg Vader led the way with a
pair of goals, his brother Scott had
a goal and two assists, Ted Sills,
Todd Norman, Joe Walker, Jamie
Scott, Greg McNevan and Sam
Kulafofski rounded out the scoring.
Kulafofski's goal came after a great
defensive effort by defenceman Jeff
Potvin who broke up a great scor
ing chance for Wingham. Corey
McKee, the new Brussels captain,
had four assists.
Coach Scott Pettigrew says, “We
needed a game like that. I thought it
was the best 60 minutes of hockey
we played all month. Even though
we have been winning we couldn't
put three solid periods together. It
would have been nice to get the
shutout but Fortune got his skate
caught in a rut and stumbled or I
think we would have had it.”
From the Bulls' Pen: The Bulls
will be at home for two games this
weekend. The Mount Forest
Patriots are in Brussels at 9 p.m. on
Friday night. It's the first meeting
of the season for these teams. Then
on Sunday at 2 p.m. Acton comes
to town for an interlock game.
The Bulls will once again be
hosting a dance New Year's Eve.
Tickets are available from any
executive member.
Thank You
to everyone for their support at the polls. As
a trustee of the Huron County Board of
Education I will continue to serve to the best
of my ability.
