Marc Fischer got the assist on the McLellan goal. From there on the story was all Brussels as Fischer launched two in On Nov. 3, Blyth hosted Milverton in their home opener. The Bulldogs saw early they were in for a tough game, as Milverton came out skating hard and hitting everybody.

Mark Durand Museum seeks hockey artifacts The Huron County Museum wants hockey artifacts. The museum will be documenting Huron County's rich hockey heritage with an exhibit scheduled to run for 18 months starting Jan. 17. The first period of the exhibit will focus on the early developmenl of hockey and go on to present a history of how the sport has grown in the county, including recognizing the area's early hockey pioneers. The second period will open in April and will display artifacts from the Hockey Hall of Fame and the Royal Canadian Mint. It will focus on Canada's hockey success world-wide and highlight those from Huron who have contributed to that success. The third period will open in March 1999 to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the Young Canada Week PeeWee hockey tournament in Goderich. The exhibits will celebrate the tournament history and also focus on the growth of the Western Ontario Athletic Association (WOAA).

YOUR NEWSPAPER: The link to your community went down awkward on his ankle and Darin Alviano got hit by a puck three seconds into the game, which left the Bulls with even less bodies since Andy Agar was out with the flu and Gary Staples is out with a knee injury suffered the week before. Jamie Thomas got the start for the Bulls and was solid in net. After getting into Brussels very early Sunday morning the Bulls loaded onto the bus again for a 1 p.m. start in Walkerton. A win against the Blackhawks would put the Bulls in sole possession of fourth place, but this feat will have to wait for another day. Walkerton scored the first two goals of the game before Brad Brown scored for the Bulls assisted by Jeff Sauve and Mark Wilson to make the score 2-1 after the first period. The Blackhawks went up 4 - 1 when they scored two goals, both on the powerplay, but it was time for the Bulis to stage a come back.

Steve Henderson scored from Jason Heipel, then Curtis Nichol, scored with a helper from Henderson. With a great individual effort by Heipel he was able to tie the score at 4 at 3:45 of the second, assisted by Jeffrey. Dan Balog started in goal, but was pulled in favour of Thomas at the 15:17 mark when Walkerton scored their fourth goal. Thomas did not disappoint and was not scored on in his period and a half of work to give the Bulls a well- deserved tie. Morrissey took a dirty slash and left the game favouring his elbow.
