Frontal attack
The Acton Sabres goalie makes a close play as this member of the Brussels Bulls moved in
for the kill during the first period action at Sunday's home game. It was a neck and neck
struggle through the whole game , but Brussels came from behind in the third to tie.
Brussels Bulls fit to be tied
Michael Bromley leads
Biyth scoring parade
If oi.s word fit the Brussels Bulls
of the Western Junior C league this
weekend, it was consistency. The
Bulls were at home against Mount
Forest on Friday night and Acton
on Sunday. Final score in both
games was 3-3.
Friday night the Mount Forest
Patriots gave the Bulls all they
could handle and almost walked
away with the upset. Mount forest
led 2-0 after the first on a pair of
goals from Mike Ouwendyk. They
padded that to 3-0 with a power
play goal less than two minutes
into the third. The Bulls didn't get
onto the score sheet until midway
through the third when Jamie Scott
buried a pass from newcomer Dan
Burton. Just 12 seconds later the
same two teamed up again to pull
the Bulls to within one.
Jeff McKee gave the Bulls the tie
on a power play with just under six
minutes left in the game. Corey
McKee and Steve Fritz assisted on
the goal.
Coach Scott Pettigrew says, “We
skated well but I didn't think we
finished our checks which we need
to create turnovers. I'm also con
cerned some of the people we count
on to put the puck in the net have
gone cold.”
Sunday's inter-locking game with
Acton was back and forth the
whole afternoon. Rookie Todd
Norman gave the Bulls a 1-0 lead
two-and-a-half minutes into the
contest. That held up until Mike
Dunphy tied it midway through the
second.
Joe Walker restored the lead five
minutes into the third with a slap
shot through several pairs of legs
from just inside the blueline, but
less than five minutes later Travis
Riggin, a 14-year-old from Kincar
dine, tied it for Acton.
It looked like the Bulls would get
the two points when Jamie Hislop
found the back of the net with 3:21
left in the game. But 16 seconds
later Shawn Healey batted the puck
out of the air and past Trevor For
tune in the Bulls net. Final score
was Brussels 3, Acton 3.
Coach Pettigrew was disappoint
ed. “These ties are killing us. We
have to get tougher mentally so we
can dig down and come up with
that little extra to win these close
games. Hanover won twice this
weekend so if they win the games
in hand they will be three points
ahead of us.”
Constitutional
reform is about
many things.
But mostly it’s about you
continued from page 11
night. Biyth had a different team hit
the ice where they played a differ
ent game as they dominated Elma
Logan, winning 7-3. After trading
early first period goals, Biyth built
an insurmountable 7-1 lead before
Elma-Logan scored two late power
play goals to end the game.
Michael Bromley once again led
the goal scoring parade as he
recorded his second consecutive
tournament hat-trick. Jerrod Button
was on top of his game as he count
ed two goals and two assists, while
Brian McNichol added a goal and
assist. Tim Cowan rounded out the
scoring with a goal from deep in
the slot. Ryan Chamney, with two,
Benjie Hakkers, Wilfred Datema,
Henry Bos and Christopher How-
son, added assists.
This victory sent Biyth into the
Consolation Championship game
on Sunday where they were
matched up against the Chesley
Bantam Colts. Both teams played
an inspired match as Biyth claimed
the Consolation title with a 2-1
overtime victory.
After a scoreless opening frame,
Peter Craig opened the scoring
midway through the second as he
unleashed a shot while falling to
the ice. Jerrod Button and goal
tender Michael de Jong assisted on
the goal. This goal looked like it
would stand up as the winner but
Chesley had other plans as they
pulled their goaltender for an extra
attacker in the final minute. They
swarmed the Biyth zone before
tying the game with 14 seconds
remaining in regulation time.
In a great show of character,
Biyth quickly regrouped for the
sudden-death overtime. Brian
McNichol, Michael Bromley and
Jerrod Button turned the tables as
they buzzed the Chesley zone and
claimed the victory in the first
minute. Jerrod Button was the hero
as he buried a rebound for the win
ner with assists to Bromley and
McNichol.
Credit must go to the whole team
as everyone played with intensity
as the action went end to end
throughout. The goaltending of
Chris Lee and Michael de Jong and
the exceptional play of defencemen
Peter Craig, Wilfred Datema,
Jonathan Collins, and Henry Bos
provided the spark for the offence
to win the game.
This 2-1 overtime victory
claimed the Thamesford Bantam
tournament Consolation Champi
onship for Biyth as they were
rewarded with a trophy, individual
medallions and the satisfaction of
knowing they all contributed to the
win with an honest effort.
QUOTE OF THE WEEK: Bart
Starr, talking about successful foot
ball coach Vince Lombardi: “He
taught me that winning is not
everything but the effort to win is.”
