Bulldogs win another as snow flies
By Kathy Bromley
BLYTH - Friday night's game in Milver-
ton had typical weather for hockey. Winter
quickly moved upon us, as six inches of
snow fell throughout the day. The Bulldogs
had a traditional hockey game now that
snow had stayed.
Both Milverton and the Bulldogs were
very alert for the first half of the opening
period. Then, with less than six minutes re-
maining in the first period, Jason Rutledge
earned an unassisted goal, to put the
Bulldogs in the lead.
With less than one minute remaining,
Jason McDougall and Brad Anderson put
the Bulldogs up again, resulting in a 2-0
score at the end of the first period.
The second period proved to be one with
both goalies on full alertness, as only one
goal was allowed. With just under two
minutes remaining in the second period,
Jason Rutledge worked for his second goal
of the evening, with Chris Stewart assisting
him.
The Bulldogs were ahead 3-0 going into the
third period. Again, the Bulldogs added one
more goal to the slate, when Mike Salverda
scored with no assistance.
Seconds later, Milverton had their books
open, as Scott McDonald put the puck by the
goalie, Chris Bromley.
The Bulldogs finished the game, with one
more goal to their credit, when Brad Ander-
son and Fred Datema scored.
Although Milverton outshot the Bulldogs
with 21-20 attempts, Chris allowed the puck
to get by him only once. The Bulldogs
returned home with another win to their
credit, as their 20 shots on net, resulted in
scoring five times;
Their 5-1 defeat put them ahead of Milver-
ton, who return to Blyth on November 26, for
a 7:00 p.m. game.
Friday evening at 7:00 p.m., the Bulldogs
travel to Seaforth for their opening game of
the weekend tournament. The Bulldogs face
New Hamburg for their first game ... let's
hope they remember to play New Hamburg,
not eat them! ! !
