The Goderich Red team opened the scoring first, but Brussels quickly responded to tie it up. Brussels took the lead in the second but, Goderich tied it again. The goals went back and forth until Goderich was leading with only six minutes left to play when Chris Corbett scored to tie the game at four goals, and get a hat trick at the same time. The last five minutes of the game had plenty of end-to-end action. Goderich hit the post and then Brussels hit the cross bar, which made for a great finish to their home opener. home opener. Shelburne led 3-0 after one period and held a four-goal lead late in the second before Brussels rallied, scoring three times in 48 seconds, then tying with six seconds remaining. However, Shelburne replied with three midway through the third for the win. Mark Armitage with four, Norm Tobin, Keith Davis and Dave Johnston scored for the Muskies. Pat Cronin took the loss Saturday while Tony Smith was in net Friday. The Crusaders travel to Clinton Friday, then return home for a rematch of last year's final against the Ripley Wolves Saturday. Also scoring for Brussels was Chase Chapman. Assists went to Wade Stephenson, Tyler Deitner, William King, and Chris Corbett. Brussels' only penalty was Adam Corbett for slashing. Christopher Jutzi played a hard- fought game along the boards. All of the first year Tykes played very well. Once the puck was dropped they all knew exactly what to do. Shane Gibson made some excellent saves in net for Brussels. The next game is on Saturday, Oct. 26 in Stephen Township. This past weekend the Brussels Bulls played only one game, at home to the 7 and 1 Kincardine Bulldogs. The Bulls got on the board first at 7:30 of the first period when Dan Williams scored assisted by Tim Zaba. The score remained 1-0 until Kincardine with 1:56 left in the first, tied the game. That's how it stayed into the first intermission. At 8:36 of the second Kincardine made the score 2-1 and took that lead into the second intermission. The Bulls had a lot of chances in this one, but just couldn't bury the puck behind the Kincardine netminder. At 12:33, with only four seconds remaining on Grant Jarvis's penalty, Kincardine made the score 3-1 and then only 39 seconds after that, made the score 4-1 and that would be all they needed as the Bulls suffered their fifth loss.

Derek Cook slid one past Hensal- l's goalie in the second only to see them score in the period as well. A combined effort by Nick Courtney, Shaun Henry assisted Robbie Archambault in putting one in the net, giving the visitors three goals half way through the third, but the game ended in a tie.
