take command of the game. Tim

WORRIED ABOUT
Scott Vader (8) of the Brussels Bulls finds little elbow room in front of the Walkerton Black
Hawks net in a Western Junior "C" hockey game in Brussels Sunday. Brussels found itself in
a tight squeeze all afternoon as, short-handed because of players writing exams and set
down for disciplinary reasons, the squad lost to Walkerton 7-6.

Bulls split weekend games
The Brussels Bulls may have lost
their hold on first place in the
Western Junior C League over the
weekend. The Bulls split a pair of
games on the weekend, while the
second place Hanover Barons
easily rolled past Goderich 14-1 in
their only game.
The Bulls lead the league with 28
points on 12 wins, two losses and
four ties. The Barons have 12 wins,
a loss and a tie for 25 points, but
Hanover has four games in hand.
On Friday night, the bulls had no
trouble with Fergus rolling to a 9-3
win. Corey McKee paced the Bulls
with a goal and three assists. Greg
McNevan had two goals, Sam
Kulafofski, Todd Norman, Jamie
Hislop, Dan Burton, Scott Vader
and Jeff Potvin added singles. For
Potvin, it was his first goal of the
season.
Coach Scott Pettigrew said, “We
were missing seven players so we
had to play smart and wait for our
breaks. It was nice to come away
with two points.”
Sunday was when the Bulls ran
into trouble. The third place Walk
erton Blackhawks came to town
and beat the shorthanded Bulls 8-7.
Brussels started the game with only
13 skates missing several players
for disciplinary reasons. A handful
of others were studying for exams
and Winger Jamie Hislop was out
with an injury.
The Blackhawks built a 4-1 lead
after one, and led 6-3 after two. A
brawl in the second left Brussels
with just eight skaters to finish the
game, but that's when the players
left on the bench turned it up a
notch. They outscored Walkerton
4-2 in the third and came very close
to tieing the score. Corey McKee
again led the Bulls with a hat-trick,
Todd Norman, Jason McNichol,
Brian Zabel and Greg McNevan
had singles. It was Zabel's first of
the year.
“You never like to lose but we
demand a certain level of dedica
tion and if players are not going to
give it they will sit in the stands”,
said Coach Pettigrew. I was really
proud of the guys in the third. We
never quit and with a little luck
could have won the game.”
The Bulls are in Mount Forest
Friday and host the Orangeville
Crushers on Sunday at 2:00. Sun
day's game should be an excellent
contest. The Crushers have been to
the All-Ontario finals the last two
years and currently lead the Mid
Ontario Junior “C” standings.
NOTES: Jason Baier, Jeff Potvin, '
Jamie Scott and Brian Zabel are all
suspended for two games resulting
from fighting in Sunday's game
against Walkerton.

BY RUSTY BLADES
The Blyth Bantams played two
league games recently and they
rolled up two lopsided wins, albiet
against the two weakest teams in he
league.
Blyth hosted Clinton II on
November 25 as they scored two
power play goals and two short-
handed goals on their way to an 8-1
win. Michael Bromley, Ryan
Chamney and Benjie Hakkers each
scored two goals with Bromley
adding three assists and Chamney
two. Peter Craig and Henry Bos
rounded out the scoring as they
each recorded one goal and one
assist. Jonathan Collins, with two,
and Christopher Howson also
recorded game points with assists.
Blyth then hosted Mitchell II on
December 2 as they scored at will
in a 15-0 whitewash. Almost every
one got in on the scoring parade as
the home team skated and passed
the puck well as a team. Michael de
Jong celebrated his return to the
forward ranks as he scored a goal
