russels/Belgrave Bantams win opener
The Brussels/Belgrave Bantam
Women’s team hosted Lucan in their
season opener Saturday, Oct. 28.
The first period began with some
close-checking. Brittany Campbell
broke in alone and attempted to stuff
a backhander by the Lucan netmin-
der who made a brilliant save.
However, with 7:32 to go Kristen
Palmer got things moving as she
cruised in on the left wing and fired
a snappy wrist shot past the Lucan
goalie to put the homeside up by
one.
In the second period
Brussels/Belgrave took control.
Ashley Ritchie, acting as a screen,
slapped a backhander by the goalie
off a rebound on a Kerri Meier shot
from the point at 12:08. The Lucan
squad would respond however at
8:28 to narrow the margin to one.
Michelle Nixon put the homeside
back up by two taking a nice feed
from Campbell and bulging the
twine at 5:25. The Ritchie and Meier
combo teamed up once more to close
out the second period. Meier wristed
a hard shot at the net and Ritchie
slapped home the rebound with 3:39
left.
With Nicole Proctor in the penalty
box to begin the third Michelle Cook
burst around the Lucan defence and
beat the goalie with a quick wrist
shot to the blockerside for a short-
handed tallie. Moments later Cook
picked up the puck at the top of the
faceoff circle and fired a high shot
that the Lucan backstopper was able
to tip by the net.
The Brussels/Belgrave squad con
tinued to apply pressure in the Lucan
end of the fee but were not able to
add to their lead ending the game
with a 5-1 score.
The Brussels/Belgrave Bantam
Women’s team plays out of the
South Lambton League under the
direction of the OWHA. This allows
these young women to play more
competitive hockey and yet does not
require the long distance of travel
associated with other leagues.
Members of the team are Michell
Cook, Rachel Elliott, Sara
McDonald, Brittany Campbel
Nikki Berfeltz, Michelle Nixor
Kerri Meier, Jenny Hopf, Nicol
White, Kristen Palmer, Nicol
Proctor, Ashley Ritchie and Daniell
Good.
Curlers plan for season
PeeWee Reps
lose to
Elma-Logan,
Drayton
The Brussels PeeWee Reps were
edged out of both games last week as
they met Elma Logan and Drayton.
After a great short-handed effort by
Greg Bowers in the first, where he
skated through the other team to
score, Brussels found themselves
down 2-1 late in the third.
Bowers took a pass from Tyler
Jutzi to tie the game at 5:36 but the
squad could not hold on. Elma Logan
scored the game winner less than a
minute later.
There was a good effort by every
one.
Brussels met Drayton Oct 27 and
carried a 11 tie until the final min
utes of play.
Matt McClinchey had scored at
7:27 of the final frame to even the
tally, but Drayton hit hard in the end,
scoring two late netters for the 3-1
win.
There was great goaltending by
Kyle Nixon and many great scoring
opportunities which the opposition
netminders thwarted.
With some better shooting the
score could have been reversed.
