Brussels Tykes play hard The Brussels Bulls had gone five games without a loss but that all ended Sunday when the Walkerton Blackhawks edged the Bulls 5-4. The Bulls had four wins and a tie during the streak and had climbed as high as second in the standings. The loss drops Brussels' record to 6-4-1. Walkerton jumped on a bad clearing pass early in the first period to open scoring but Bulls' right winger Greg Brown evened the score tucking a nice pass from Ryan Wright underneath the crossbar as he was being pulled down. Walkerton regained the lead when the Bulls blew a faceoff in their zone and D. J. Selkirk Blyth Midgets blast Mitchell By Rusty Blades The Blyth Midgets went undefeated in two league games last week. They bombed Mitchell II 17-3 at home on Nov. 7 before taking their show on the road and tying Elma-Logan 101, Nov. 11 in Monkton. Against Mitchell II, Blyth scored four goals in each of the first two periods before exploding for nine, third period tallies in humbling an obviously overmatched opposition hockey team. Special teams again played a major part in the win as Blyth notched seven power play goals in the game. Jason Rutledge, who played his first game of the season, made up for lost time as he led the scoring attack with four goals and two assists. Chris Stewart also got untracked offensively as he notched a hat trick and also recorded two assists. John Armstrong, Brad Anderson, Jonathan Collins and Ryan Chamney each lit up the red light twice before it wore out with Chamney adding three assists and Armstrong and Anderson two each.

Bulls' defenceman Brandon Alviano blasted point shot for Brussels’ second goal. The two teams traded goals in the second period. Zach Smith fired a slapshot from the blueline for his second goal of the season after a nice draw from Wright. In the third, penalties cost the Bulls as they gave up two shorthanded goals in less than two minutes. Pete Mulder tucked one home from in front of the net with just over eight minutes left in the game, but the Bulls could not score the equalizer. Coach Scott Pettigrew said the loss was frustrating, "We beat Peter Craig and Benjie Hakkers rounded out the game scoring with one goal each. Chad Haggitt showcased his playmaking abilities throughout the game as he set up five big goals. Additional game assists were recorded by Craig, Joe Johns, Brian Marks and Greg Toll. The final buzzer couldn't sound soon enough as Blyth threatened until the end of this 17-3 shellacking. Some of those goals could have been put to good use against Elma- Logan on Nov. 11. The offence never got out of first gear all night and Blyth was lucky to go home with a point. A shortage of players due to other commitments left the Midgets in a bind but the spirit of co-operation shown by the Bantam management and players was the difference. Nathan Loder and Mark Wilson provided a spark throughout. Wilson gave Blyth a 1-0 lead late in the second period with the teams playing four on four.

Quote of the week: Detroit Red Wings' captain Steve Yzerman, joking about a two on two scrimmage with teammates in which no goalies participated: "No goaltending. Same old story for us." The Brussels L'll Ringers Tykes team played a hard-fought game, but were outplayed by the visiting Teeswater squad. Veteran Brett Hunt notched a goal early in the game to give the home team the lead, but the tide soon turned to Teeswater and their two top players scored seven of their eight goals. Goalie Chris Cor­ bett was bombarded, having to make many great saves. Brussels attempted a comeback when rookie Adam McClure earned the first goal of his career. Veterans Brent Wheeler, Philip Wedow, Cory Chapman and Matthew White were held off the scoreboard by good defensive play Blyth Tykes lose opener On Nov. 5, the Blyth Tykes lost their home opener 29-0, against a strong, well-organized Stephen Township team. This will be a challenging season for the Tykes, since they are short of players. However, some keen beginners have been added to the roster to make up the void. Blyth managed to put together the occasional rush for a shot on net, but most of the game time was spent in their own defensive zone or setting up for face-offs after Stephen scored. The most impressive aspect of the event was the post-game atmosphere in the dressing room, the players were optimistic and enthusiastic as they tiredly asked when the next game was scheduled. The second game for Blyth was Nov. 12 at Bayfield. This was a better match-up with Blyth notching up three goals by Brett Bean, Darcey Cook, and Luke Anderson. Christopher Bernard did a good job as net minder. Every player contributed greatly, however Bayfield's Jeremy Walsh and John Wied were difficult to contain, as they scored six goals each. The final score was 16-3. Blyth loses lead Continued inspirational words firing up his team, especially K. Courtney who came back with three goals over Jarrett's shoulder. Michael Bean retaliated with one more for Blyth, however Bayfield never let up and scored two more to end the game in a 5-5 tic. Wake up to the warmth of coal heat!
