Brussels Atoms capture A title
Brussels Bulls fans had a lot to
see this week with home games
Jan. 2, 4 and 7.
In the Tuesday match-up the
team hosted the Hanover Barons
and narrowly missed victory by a
5-4 score. Hanover's Tyson Stapels
notched a hattrick for his team,
while Derck Hastie and Jason
Howes each added one.
For the Brussels effort it was new
Bulls Kyle Shauber, Josh Alexan-
der and Jason Heipel.
Another close one was not to be
theirs two days later when the
Wingham Ironmen edged the Bulls
2-1. A late game call kept the home
'team from tieing it, when the refer-
ee said the net came off before the
puck was sunk. Scoring for Brus-
sels was Dan Williams, while
Winghares points went to Chris

Campbell (two), Krotz, Hunter,
Bryce Wedow and Scott

In the consolation final the
offense continued, this time
carrying them to an 8-0 victory
over Normanby Twp. Krotz,
Dilworth and Kyle Stephenson
combined for five goals and four
assists. Additional goals were
scored by Campbell (two), and
Houston. irther assists were
credited to McClure (two), Hunter

Sunday's contest was against the
Walkerton Blackhawks. This time
the power was in the home team's
favour with a win of 5-3.
Travis Baier, Tim Beyer, Brian
McNichol, Williams and Heipel
each contributed to the Bulls'
effort.
Scoring for Walkerton were
Dcvin McArthur, Dave Flock and

The team is back in Brussels on
Sunday for a match against the
Kincardine Bulldogs. Game time is
2 p.m.
and Ken McCallum.
Bryce Wedow earned his first
shutout of the season.
Coach Alan Krotz commended
his players for their ability to
respond to their first-game loss to
Durham, and credited Scott

strong defensive play.
Brussels Atoms Houseleague fin-
ished 1995 with two resounding
wins over their opponents.
Elma-Logan came to town Dec.
23 to face off against a fired-up
squad.
Jeff Linton popped in the first of
two at 3:16 of the first, assisted by
Brandon Dixon.
The hometeam took a 2-0 lead
into the second after a goal by
Tyler Campbell, assisted by Joel
Hemingway, with 5:26 left in the
frame.
Brussels exploded in the third,
blasting five past the Elma-Logan
netminder.
Matthew Clarkson slid the first
one in at 1:16, followed just 30 sec-
onds later by a Hemingway goal.
Before the half way mark in the
period, Brussels jumped to a 5-0
lead when Hemingway scored his
second of the game, unassisted.
Campbell and Linton added two
more to top up the score at 7-0.
Earning assists in the third were
Hemingway, Clarkson, Dixon, Brit-
tany Kellington and Daniel Cam-
eron.
Brooklyn Wheeler did an excel-
lent job in net, earning a shutout.
In an exhibition game against St.
Marys on Dec. 30, Brussels Atoms
once again showed their strength in
scoring.
Wheeler, again between the
posts, held the opponents to just
one goal, late in the first, while her
teammates slapped 10 past the vis-
iting squad.
Just past the midpoint of the first,
Kyle Stephenson scored the first of
what would become a hattrick for
the match.
After assisting on the Stephenson
goal, Hemingway bulged the twine
three and a half minutes later.
Campbell would follow suit with
1:30 remaining in the frame. He
was assisted by Cameron and
Clarkson.
Brussels took a commanding lead
through the second, scoring five to
bring the tally to 8-1.
Scoring in the second came from
Stephenson, Hemingway (two),
Linton and Robbie McClure.
Assists were captured by Heming-
way, Kellington, Stephenson and
Campbell (two).
Stephenson and Hemingway both
earned hattricks when they scored
in the third, Stephenson's coming at
3:55 and Hemingway's at 10:06.
To top off an astounding seven
point game, Hemingway earned an
assist on the Stephenson goal while
Kellington got credit for an assist
on Hemingway's.
In continuing league play, the
Brussels squad met Zurich on home
ice, Jan. 5.
Off to a quick two goal lead less
than half way through the opening
frame, Brussels took a 3-1 lead into
the third.
Sean Hoegy scored both netters
in the first, assisted by Brandon
Blake and Linton.
Linton pushed the puck past the
netminder at 3:45 of the second.
Earning assists were Dixon and
Hoegy.
Zurich came out in the third
ready to battle back, scoring eight
minutes into the period.
Hoegy added one more to his
tally for a hattrick but it was not
enough to hold off the attackers.
Zurich followed with two goals
at 8:39 and 12:19, leaving the Brus-
sels squad to settle for the 4-4 tie.
In tournament play, the Brussels
team travelled to Clifford Jan. 6, 7,
to challenge for the local league
championship.
The road to success started in the
contest against Walkerton.
Brussels began the scoring, at
3:25 of the first with Walkerton
tying the match in the dying sec-
onds.
Trading goals in the second,
Brussels went into the third facing
a 3-2 deficit, but was able to tie it
up at 3-all with under three minutes
left in regulation time.
Going into the second overtime
period, the Brussels team created

final minute and a half to slap one
