The Blyth Midget Bulldogs had a
tougher time battling the elements
off the ice than they did on the ice
last week as they opened the
WOAA Midget 'E' finals against
Belmore.
After the first game of the series,
which was scheduled for Blyth on
Feb. 6 was cancelled, the series
finally got underway in Belmore on
Feb. 7. After a tentative start the
Bulldogs quietly gained control and
never let their hosts threaten them
in a 4-1 series opening victory.
With a few of the Midget guns
silenced, team management called
up Mark Wilson from the Bantams
who 'sparked' the Bulldogs to the
win. Wilson opened the scoring
eight minutes into the match with
Ryan Chamney and Brad Anderson
gaining the assists.
The forechecking pressure of
Tim Cowan, John Armstrong and
Chad Haggitt provided catalyst for
Blyth's second goal as Cowan gave
his team a 2-0 lead before the first
period had ended.
A Blyth powerplay four minutes
into the second period resulted in a
3-0 lead as Brian Marks and Mike
Salverda set up Chris Stewart's
quick snap shot.
Blyth successfully killed off
some penalty trouble of their own
late in the second and early in the
The Brussels Novice Rep team
travelled to Zurich on Feb. 11 and
12 to compete in a tournament.
Brussels scored first in the
matchup against Ingersoll, with
Rachel Elliott earning the point,
assisted by Tyler Campbell.
Ingersoll tied the game in the
second half of the middle frame,
but Brussels was able to net two
more before the buzzer.
Campbell, assisted by Joel Hem-
ingway and Kyle Stephenson
notched the first and Robbie
McClure netted the second.
Campbell and Hemingway added
to the tally midway through the
third, bringing the score to 5-1
before Ingersoll could put one more
past the netminder.

participation in the Bruce Williams
Memorial Fun Days Tournament in
Wallace.
On Tuesday, Jan. 25 they took to
the ice against Drayton. It was a lot
of end-to-end action and a well
played game by both teams. During
this tournament there is no score
kept - Hockey for the fun of it.
The second game featured
Clifford against Blyth. Again both
teams skated with lots of
enthusiasm and had a good time.
The third and final game was
against a very inspired Wallace
team in which Blyth had to battle
for every inch of the ice they could
get. At the conclusion of this game
Blyth was presented with
individual trophies that really made
the players' eyes light up.
Special thanks goes out to the
Wallace Minor Hockey
Association. Also many thanks to

Michael deJong came up solid in
the crease to keep the zero on the
scoreboard.
Blyth finally put the game out of
reach with four and a half minutes
left in the game as Marks set up a
rushing Wilson in the slot, who
one-timed the puck through the
Belmore goalie's legs.
Belmore finally found the mesh
in the final minute as they broke
deJong's shutout attempt by
completing a perfect 2 on 1 rush.
This 4-1 win gave Blyth win
number one in this best three out of
five final series. Game number two
scheduled for Blyth on Saturday
was postponed to Sunday evening
before being cancelled again. Game
two was now scheduled for Feb. 13
with game three scheduled for
tonight, Wednesday, Feb. 15 at
7 p.m. in Blyth. If necessary, game
four goes to Belmore on Friday,
Feb. 17 at 7 p.m. and game five
will be played in Blyth on Sunday,
Feb. 19 at 7:30 p.m.

round of the playoffs on Feb. 14,
against Teeswater.
On Feb. 11 the team returned to
league action against Wingham in
Blyth.

Wingham went ahead on a goal by
Brad Carter. Shortly after Jeffrey

The Brussels Bulls Western
Junior 'C' quarterfinal series was
supposed to be over Sunday, but
Mother Nature had other ideas. The
stormy weather forced the
cancellation of games against the
Wiarton Wolves Saturday and
Sunday night and almost forced the
postponement of Friday's game in
Brussels.
The Wolves made the trip down
from Wiarton but the poor road
conditions delayed their arrival to
just minutes before the game was
supposed to start. However, the
referees did not arrive until after 9.
When the game got underway the
Bulls came out flying outshooting
Crusaders
face delays
in playoffs
Due to weather conditions two
playoff games as well as the last
regular season meeting between the
Lakeshore Winterhawks and
Brussels Crusaders have been
cancelled.
Weather permitting Brussels will
travel to Southampton Friday night
for game one of their best of seven
quarter final series, and possibly
will return Saturday night for game
two. Lakeshore is scheduled to play
in Brussels Sunday night and
hopefully either Tuesday or
Wednesday of next week. Game
five is in Lakeshore Friday, Feb. 24
with game six in Brussels Sunday,
Feb. 26.
The Durham/Wellesley series has
been reduced to a best of five series
starting this weekend due to a
player shortage problem by the
Wellesley club. Tavistock and
Shelburne opened Monday night in
Tavistock while the Elora Rocks
hold a 2-0 series lead over the
Milverton 4-Wheel Drives.
Wiarton 29 - 8 in the first period
and rolled up a 3-0 lead. The Bulls
were never in trouble in this one
and secured a 6 - 3 win to go up
two games to one in the best of five
series. Kevin Ball, Darin Alviano,
Ryan Wright, Greg McNevan, Tim
Beyer and Sheldon Mustard all
scored for the Bulls. Ryan Sanders.
was in net for the Bulls and stopped
26 shots.
The Bulls were to travel to
Wiarton Tuesday night, weather
permitting, for game four. If a fifth
game is necessary it will likely be
in Brussels Friday night. It's
possible the semifinals may also
start this weekend if the
quarterfinals wrap up in time.
The Bulls will likely miss Brad
Beuermann for the rest of the
season. Bump cut off part of one

Winger Greg Fritz is showing signs
of improvement after partially
tearing knee ligaments. He hopes to
be back for the next round if the
