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! ! !
