Sports Novices whitewash Zurich PeeWees Two players face off at a Brussels PeeWee game on Friday, Dec. 16 at the BMG arena. The squad was playing Mitchell. (Heather Crawford photo) Bantams gel as team The Brussels Bantams are beginning to gel as a team. The players faced a tough opponent, when they travelled to Zurich. It was a hard-hitting, fast- paced game, throughout three periods of play. Unfortunately, Brussels came up short by two as Zurich won 4-2. Defensive coverage was supplied by Thomas Johnston. Scoring for Brussels were Cody Subject, unassisted, and Westin McLeod assisted by Herbie Runstedler and Cole McLean. Nov. 19 saw action at home against Blyth. The hosts came out on top with a 9-3 victory. Scoring for Brussels were Evan Ducharme with a hattrick, Cody Subject, Westin McLeod with a pair and Taylor Prior and Ben Gowing each with one. Blake Cardiff hustled well in the comers. The squad next travelled to Chesley to participate in their first tournament action of the season. Games were decided by one-goal shootouts. Discipline and determination earned Brussels the bronze medallion. It was another feather in their hats as Brussels downed Blyth Dec. 2 by a score of 5-2. Solid play in net by Ryan Smith made the difference in this game. Scoring were Robert Cronin with two, Gavin Bowers, Prior and Brendan Stretton. Assists were credited to Cronin, Prior, Subject, Stretton, Gowing, Bowers and Ducharme. Cronin played a tremendous game. Helping out with great hustle were Cardiff and Brian Burgess. Brussels got the air let out of their tires as they took on Zurich. Too much time in the penalty box, had an impact on this game. Scoring were Gowing, Burgess, Subject and McLeod. It wasn’t enough, however, as Zurich edged Brussels 6-4. The squad headed to Listowel Saturday, Dec. 10 in fine form. Listowel came on strong and had Brussels 3-1 at the bottom of two. After the break, Brussels took charge and got three goals in seven minutes. End-to-end action had the team smelling victory but they had to settle for a 4-4 tie. Scoring were Ducharme with yet another hattrick, and Burgess. Assists went to Prior with two, Stretton, McLean and McLeod. Coverage on defence by Johnston, Rundstedler, Prior and Subject helped secure the tie. Next it was off to Monkton to challenge Mitchell in second match­ up of the season. Brussels was controlling from the drop of the puck with everyone contributing to mark a tally, Brussels had a good grip on its opponent and at the end of two was up by four. The final score was 9-1. The entire team contributed to the victory. Gowing, Stretton and Prior each had one while Ducharme, McLeod and Bowers each scored two. The Blyth Novices enjoyed a romp over Zurich when they travelled to an away game, Dec. 10. With help from his team, Dalton Carey protected the net valiantly allowing no goals from the hosts. It was a pair of Dustins that got the scoring started for Blyth in the first period. Dustin Treble set up Dustin Pennington for goal number one. Just two minutes later, Pennington handed off to Josh VanSoest who skated in to score. The buzzer was quiet through the second with neither team able to bulge the twine. Then in the third, Curtis Raynard put Blyth up by three with an assist from Dylan Walton. Seconds later Mackenzie Nesbitt and Brendan Hallahan set up the play for Pennington’s second of the game. As the clock ticked down to the final minute, Walton lit the light for Blyth with assists going to VanSoest and Raynard. The final score was 5-0. On Dec 15, the squad played an exhibition game against Goderich 98s and put their visitors in their place, winning 6-2. Carey was again solid between the THE MUNICIPALITY OF HURON EAST NOTICE The municipal office WILL BE CLOSED DECEMBER 26th TO 30th, 2005 Council and Staff hope you enjoy the festive season & wish everyone a healthy & prosperous new year! pipes for the hosts. It was a big game for Raynard who scored a hattrick plus one. He lit the light twice, just seconds apart, in the first. Van Soest and Autumn Wightman assisted. Goderich had also scored two, so it looked as if the teams would go into the intermission with the score tied. However, with 25 seconds remaining, Ashley Higgins set up Pennington for the go-ahead goal. After the break, Blyth continued to thwart Goderich’s efforts through the next two periods. Wightman and Raynard, to complete his hattrick put the team ahead by three with second-period goals. Raynard, Van Soest, Nesbitt and Pennington earned the assists. Raynard finished the scoring in the third with a goal assisted by Connor Rodger. Tykes play Elma Logan The Tyke I hockey team travelled to Elma Logan for an early start on Saturday. The Little Dogs played hard with Justin Rodgers scoring the lone goal for Blyth assisted by Drew Bromley. Elma Logan ended up with the win. In net for Blyth, stopping many shots, was Jeremy Wilts. The kids have a break at Christmas, but will be back after Christmas with a little more steam.
