Early in the opening period Brussels jumped out in front on an unassisted goal by Kai Hiemstra. Shortly after Hiemstra would give the Tykes a 2-0 lead on another solo effort. Blyth would fight back and cut the lead in half. Wyatt Ducharme would quickly restore the two-goal lead, with the lone assist going to Mitch Kellington. Blyth would fight back to within one again before Hiemstra would restore the two-goal lead with his third of the game. Blyth was not done as they scored three straight goals to take a 5-4 lead. With time winding down and the Brussels net empty, Brussels came close to two, but couldn’t make it before time ran out. Brussels’ second game was against Elma-Logan. Brussels played hard and walked away with an easy 14-1 victory. Scoring for Brussels were Hiemstra with six, Tim Waechter with three, Kellington with two, Ducharme with two and Dawson Peachey. Picking up assists were Kellington with four, Nick Garnet with three, Ducharme with two, Waechter with two, Scott Dolmage with two, Hiemstra with two, and Peachey with two. S ingle assists went to Scott Bann, Jason Baxter, Logan Clark, Ben Hruska and goaltender Matt McNichol. With the win Brussels moved onto the B final to face Zurich.

Scoring for Brussels were Hiemstra with five, Ducharme, Colton Hastings, Kellington and Clark who got his first goal of the year. Picking up assists were Kellington with two, Ducharme, Hruska, Clark and Hiemstra. Blyth hosts Southwestern Girls Southwestern Girls Hockey made a visit to the Blyth arena on Thursday, March 23. The first game of the Midget A Girls’ championship between the West Division Champs, Elma- Logan Wildcats and the East Division Champs, Rochester Edge was played. These two teams had never met before and expected nothing less than a fast-paced game. A quick start by both teams did not disappoint anyone. Rochester would score the only goal of period one on a steal in the Wildcats zone. Elma-Logan would control the second getting one of their own to tie the game. The third was end-to-end hockey, with both teams having their chances and great goaltending. A pair of untimely penalties in the last minutes of play put Rochester up on five on three. The Wildcats tried again to hold off this strong team but Rochester would net one to win the game 2-1. Having a deadline for completing the series and the fact the Wildcats had a tournament on the weekend, game two was held at 9 a.m. in the Monktonarena.
