Brussels Bulls clinch second place in Western Jr. C
The Brussels Bulls welcomed
Brad Carter to the Western Junior
C league on the weekend, (the
Orangeville Crushers did not.) The
Seaforth native signed with the
Bulls this week after getting his
release from the Waterloo siskins
on the Mid-Western Junior B
League.
Carter made his debut on Satur
day night against the Crushers and
made an immediate impact with
two goals and an assist. But it
wasn't enough. The Crushers
scored five goals in the second
period and held on for a 6-4 win.
Corey McKee and Todd Norman
had the other Bulls goals. As usual,
Jamie Litt sparked Orangeville. He
set up four of the six Crusher goals.
“I thought we outplayed them for
40 minutes but a couple soft goals
in the second and some lapses in
defensive coverage cost us two
points,” said Coach Scott Petti
grew.
On Sunday, the Bulls clinched at
least second spot in the league
standings with a 5-2 win over the
Mount Forest Patriots. A balanced
scoring attack was the key with five
different players finding the back
of the net. Greg McNevan, Corey
McKee, Jeff McKee, Scott Vader,
and Greg Vader were the goal scor
ers. Carter picked up his fourth
point in two games assisting on
McKee's goal.
Coach Pettigrew said, “We had
not beaten the Patriots this year and
while I was not happy with the per
formance of some people it was
nice to get the win. We had to kill a
five minute penalty late in the game
leading by two goals and if it
wasn't for some good special teams
we could have let the game slip
away.”
The Bulls take on the front run
ning Barons in Hanover on Friday.
They were back at home against
Grand Valley on Sunday.
“Friday night should be interest
ing in Hanover after we beat them
in late December. The game won't
mean much as far as the standings
are concerned but think we want to
prove the 4-1 win was not a fluke.
Sunday's game should also be
exciting. Grand Valley is in a battle
for third and have the league's top
scorer in Glen Watt,” said Petti
grew.
FROM THE BULLS PEN:
Defenceman Jason Baier will sit
out the next four games. He was
suspended for butt-ending in Sun
day's game against Mount Forest.
Bulls have released defenceman
Jeff Potvin. The 16 year old Port
Elgin native saw limited ice time
with Brussels. He was signed with
Wingham.
Look but don’t touch
S ports It's one thing to see the puck but being able to touch it is another, this unidentified Brussels
Bull finds out Sunday against a close-checking Mount Forest Patriot team. Still, the Bulls
managed their first win of the season against Mount Forest and clinched second place.

skills of O'Donnell, McCabe and
McCulloch, an experienced
defense, and solid goaltending by
Marty Groulx. Never a strong regu
lar season team, the Tigers have
shed their hack and slash image of
years gone by.
DRAYTON: An offensive team
willing to get involved in shoot
outs, the Comets are no longer the
big slow-footed team of years past.
Darryl Jack and Steve Day are
joined on offense by former scoring
leader Mich Landry from Kincar
dine.
DURHAM: Arguably the no. 1
team in the WOAA over the past
several years the Thundercats have
size, speed and toughness. The
addition of four skaters (Neil,
Aljoe, Karcher, Wilson) from the
All-Ontario Hanover Barons plus
the signing of Rob LeBlanc
strengthens a team that went 28
games without a loss last season.
Going head-to-head with the OHA
Huskies, insiders report the Cats
are “the” team to watch in Durham.
HARRISTON: A new entry to
the WOAA the Blues were OHA
Champs in 1990. Ex-Howick
juniors (including Hill, Leslie,
Reading, Foerter) dominate a strug
gling but rebuilding franchise hop
ing to return to their glory years of
the 1980's.
KINCARDINE: A favourite
playoff rival of Brussels, the Kings
have added Matt McLeod to solve
their goallending playoff woes.
Always a high scoring team Kin
cardine recently signed Ken
Feddema to support scoring
machine Sean Burton who recorded
64-37-101 pts. in 24 games last
season.
MILVERTON: The only team to
successfully rotate three goal
tenders equally the 4-Whecl Drives
have 14 ex-Brussels Bulls on their
roster led by captain Mike Chap
man. A quick skating club Milver
ton can be counted on for one upset
or near upset come playoff time.
PALMERSTON: The 81's have
been hurt player wise by the addi
tion of the Harriston Blues and are
struggling to regain the form that
saw them compile an 18-2-4 record
last season. Led offensively by the
Drost-Miller-Miller line Palmerston
solved a major problem with the
signing of Hanover MVP Goal
tender Randy Vansevenant.
TAVISTOCK: Led by the
league's highest scoring line of
Albrecht-Albrecht and Stere and
backstopped by the WOAA's pre
mier goalie Ray Brick, the Royals
have added a strong supporting
staff in ex-Waterloo, Stratford and
hometown Juniors. Tough defen
sively Tavistock is a legitimate
contender especially if they gain
home ice advantage.
WIARTON: Young and aggres
sive the Redmen have always been
solid in regular season play before
folding in the playoffs. Led by
junior-aged players (Nuttall,
Wright, Weir and Koshan) Wiar-
ton's biggest problem is staying out
of the penalty box.
BRUSSELS: With the Fritz-
McArter combo reunited, the return
of veterans TenPas, Higgins and
Campbell, plus the addition of new
comers in Hewitt, Strome and Dean
Wheeler (a perfect example that
goal scoring is a given talent) the
Crusaders could surprise especially
if you consider they have won the
Grand Championship every other
year starting in 1987-88.

AT CHRISTMAS TIME
by Leanne Bell and
Capucine Onn
December 25 was Christmas!
What excitement! When we asked
Robert Harper and Charlene Brom
ley from grade one and Jody God
frey and Justin Rinn from grade
two about their Christmas celebra
tions, we got some pretty neat
answers.
Charlene told us that she went to
her Grandma's for Christmas. She
got a keyboard and Magic Bottle
Baby. Robert got a wrestling wallet
and super-shooter and he was at his
Uncle Charlie's for Christmas.
Jody Godfrey had her Christmas
at her Grandma's house. She got
two rings and a toothbrush holder.
She got a dinky diary from Santa.
Justin Rinn also spent his Christ
mas at his Grandma's. He got a
Nintendo Entertainment system,
and a wrestling ring and a few
wrestlers, and a dinky car and a
baseball glove.
Apparently Santa knew that these
kids had been good all year because
they all got what they wanted.
Thank you Santa!
VOLLEYBALL TIME!

It's here. The volleyball season

gym each morning to help us with
our skills so we are ready to play in
the two tournaments.
The first girls' tournament is on
Saturday, February 1. This tourna
ment is the six-person tournament;
only six girls will be on the floor at
once. The tournament is at St.
Joseph's Separate School in Clin

nine girls will be on the floor at
once. The second tournament is
held at Central Huron Secondary
School. Let's hope we all have fun
at the tournaments.
T.V. STARS AT B.P.S.
by Kurt Lentz
Two people from the CKNX
News Team came to B.P.S. on
Wednesday morning at 10:30. The
team was covering a report on male
teachers and child abuse. They
interviewed Mr. Morton and asked
about his concerns about hugging
or touching a child. They filmed us
in one of our classes. Mostly every
one was filmed but most of us were
edited out. Then we saw ourselves
on the 6:00 p.m. news.
