Down in front
The Brussels Bulls goalie has a bead on the puck as he
prepares to make the save. After a disappointing loss on
Friday in Mount Forest, the team planned to take charge
Sunday at home, but came up short in a heart-breaker.
Bulls lose in overtime
Just out of reach
The Brussels Novice doesn't have quite enough reach to stop his opponent from Elma-
Logan in this action in Brussels on Friday night. The strong visiting squad were too much for
the home team, who were muscled to a 16-3 loss.
Friday night the Bulls travelled to
Mt. Forest to face the Patriots in
game one of the first round.
The game started out with Mt.
Forest jumping out to a 4-0 lead in
the first 10 minutes of the game
before Josh Cressman put the Bulls
on the board at 10:07, assisted by
Tim Zaba. Then al 2:50 Zaba
scored assisted by Grant Jarvis and
Ryan Kipfer.
In the second period the Patriots
scored twice more to take a 6-2
lead. With only 56 seconds remain
ing, some Patriot fans took
exception to Gary Staples being in
the penalty box decided to start a
fight with him, which eventually
led to police being called. Staples
received a two-game suspension.
The coach of the Bulls, Charlie
Smith had seen enough and let the
ref know how poorly he thought he
was doing. Smith also received a
two-game suspension.
In the third Mt. Forest led 8 - 2
before Brussels scored three times
in 57 seconds. The first was by
Brian McNichol assisted by Jeff
Sauve. Then Cressman, scored
assisted by Wright. The third was
from Darin Alviano, assisted by
Wright. Alviano scored again at
2:57, then 10 seconds later
Cressmen got his third goal of the
game assisted by Wright and Josh
Alexander. When the fireworks
were over the final score was 13-7
for the Patriots.
Sunday afternoon saw the
Patriots in Brussels for game two
and, with Friday night a bad
memory, it was time to show the
Patriots what real hockey was like.
The Bulls got on the scoreboard
first on a goal by Tim Zaba at
13:24 assisted by Mark Trimble.
Mt. Forest tied the score at 3:07
and remained tied into the second.
Mt. Forest scored once in the
second and took a 2-1 lead into the
third. At 15:34 on a powerplay, the
Patriots made it a 3-1 game before
Cressman scored at 9:25 on the
powerplay assisted by Alexander
and Wright.
Bulls coach Ron Livermore
pulled the goalie at 1:12 remaining,
in favour of the extra attacker and
at the 35 second mark Cressman
found the net to lie the game at
three and send it into an extra
period. He was assisted by Wright
and Alviano.
Overtime is a 10-minute sudden
death period, but it didn't last long
when at 57 seconds in, Mt. Forest
scored to take game two and a two-
games-to-none lead in the best of
five series.
Game 3 for the Bulls will be in
Mt. Forest on Friday night at 8:30
p.m. "The Bulls could use some
home town support against the
Patriots so get your friends together
and get to Mt. Forest for the game,"
said Me Arter.
If the Bulls can pull off a win,
game four will be in Brussels on
Sunday afternoon al 2 p.m.
Brussels Novices lose big
Elma-Logan Novices were lousy
guests on Jan. 31, when they came
to Brussels and thoroughly over
powered their hosts on the way to a
16-3 score.
Scoring honours for the home
squad went to Philip Wedow, Brent
Wheeler and Matthew White.
Assists were creditted to Scott
Philips, Adam McClure and Tate
Stephenson.
The contest three days earlier,
was less lopsided with Wingham
edging the home squad by 4-3.
With plenty of end-to-end-action
this was an exciting game. Some
good goaltending on the part of
Brussels put pressure on the Wing
ham team, but this one wasn't
meant to be for Brussels, who
pulled the goalie in favour of an
extra attacker, but to no .avail.
Wheeler notched two, while Kyle
Gibson scored the third.
White and Kyle Procter got the
-assists.
