Brussels ousts Blyth in tight Novice playoff series BY RUSTY BLADES The second game of the Blyth - Brussels playoff series was played in Blyth last Wednesday, February 26. ' It was another fast and furious checking game which ended with Blyth on the shortend of a 6 - 4 score. Brussels opened the scoring but, before the first period had ended, Blyth tied the game 1 -1. Mike Bromley scored the goal on a rebound shot in the crease with linemates Henry Bos and Benje Hakkers earning assists. Mike opened the second period with his second goal of the game with winger Henry Bos picking up another assist. Late in the second period some sloppy defensive work let Brussels back in the game. Brussels scored three goals in less than one and a half minutes to take a 4 - 2 lead. This seemed to spark the blue andwhiteasMike Bromley took the puck from the face-off at centre ice and skated down the ice to score another fabulous goal. Once again Mike collected hats from the fans as the second period ended 4 - 3 in favour of Brussels. Blyth tied the game in the first minute of the third period with Mike Bromley once again doing the honours with assists to wingers Benje Hakkers and Henry Bos. With five minutes and twenty seconds left in the game, Brussels scored again to regain the lead. Blyth valiantly tried to recapture their momentum and tie the score but could do everything but put the puck into the net. With the Blyth Blyth Novices make big trade to beat Atoms BY RUSTY BLADES I was going to give the result of this game a low profile until challenged by the nameless atom reporter, so I feel I must now bare all. This was a very good hockey game that featured some great skating for both teams. The game was won by the novice team maybe because of a major trade between these two teams five minutes before game time. Former first round draft picks Danny Van Bakel and Jason ‘ ‘ Popgunner” Elliott where traded Brussels sprouts at tournament Continued from page 14 Clifford and they played to a 2 - 2 tie. Andrew Exel and Josh Beuer- mann got credit for the Brussels goals. The third game of the day was against a B team from Durham. Brussels outscored them 13 -0. Brett Fischer led the Brussels squad with four goals. Jeff Finch scored three goals. Singles went to Jamie Thomas, Steve Machan, SCott Clarkson, Josh Beuermann, Trevor Wilson, and Andrew Exel. It was good to see a few local faces in the Exeter arena on Saturday night to watch some excellentUniversity hockey be­ tween the London Western Mus­ tangs and the Waterloo Laurier Golden Hawks. The score was tied at three after one 20 minute over-time period and was 6:42 into the second overtime period when Laurier scored to win the series. Terry McCutcheon of Brussels was playing centre for the Hawks and Pete Zester of Listowel was on defence for the Western Mus­ tangs. Both teams played some excellent hockey and the game was enjoyed by a capacity crowd. Because of high school exams no Wednesday games are scheduled. goalie skating to the bench for an extra attacker, a Brussels player stole the puck and skated in alone to score into the empty net. Another exciting, evenly matched game with Brussels prevailing by a 6 - 4 score. The third and final game of the series was played in Brussels Friday night. After a scoreless first period, Brussels opened the scor­ ing in the second. Late in the period, Blyth scored two goals in thirty seconds to take the lead. Mike Bromley started Blyth rolling as he scored a hard-earned goal with an assist from Jonathan Collins. Blyth came right back to pressure Brussels in their own end Hubbards, Watsons win in Blyth In the first game of Blyth Industrial Hockey League action on Feb. 23, Hubbards beat the Blyth Inn 7 - 0. Scoring for Hubbards were Brian Bromley with four, Brad Bromley with two and Dennis Knox with one. The second game Watson’s beat Manning’s 9 - 7 in overtime. Scoring for Watson’s were John Watson with three, Dave Erring- ton with two, Dana Bean with one, Steve Bromley with one, Stewart Atton with one and Gordy Rinn with one. Scoring for Manning’s were Wayne McDougall with four, Ken Ritchie with two and Jeff Sippel with one. to the novice for two hardrock defencemen, Jamie Bromley and Shawn Hakkers. This major tacti­ cal error by the atoms seemed to spur on the much younger novice team. Theteamsweretied2 - 2 after the first period and the novices led 5 - 4 when the second period ended. This was probably the reason atom coach Tony Van Bakel entered the novice dressing room between periods and demanded the big trade be nullified. He cited “a pre game vision that the atoms would blow the fiesty novice team away” as his reason. Although novice management agreed to this manoeuver, the two players in question said ‘‘N yet” to this proposal. Never the less, this exciting game continued and the two teams traded goals in the third period for a final 6 - 5 score. The novices, through very hard work, had pulled off the biggest upset since Edmonton beat Toron­ to two weeks ago. Scoring for the novices were Mike Bromley with two, Henry Bos with two, Jonathan Colllins, James McNichol and Jason Elliott. No doubt there were probably some arguments about the better team after the game as there were four brother combinations, and countless friendships, playing against each other in this contest. The atom team has not received the media attention that the novices have enjoyed this year but they do ha.ve a fine, gutsy team. Mike McNichol is the smoothest skating centreman this reporter has watched this season. Defence­ men Ian Andrews and Danny Van Bakel have no atom equals in this area .. bar none. But they must realize, as the novices do, that the key to success is very hard work every shift that they are on the ice. I hated to boast about this game, but, since I was charged advertis­ ing rates for the space for this column, I wanted to receive my money’s worth. Enough said!!! which resulted in another goal. The scorer this time was James Mc­ Nichol with Jonathan Collins and Mike Bromley drawing assists, their joy was short lived as Brussels came back to score and the second period ended 2 - 2. The Blyth team realized that a Atoms beat Hensail Blyth Atoms had a hockey game in Hensail on Saturday morning at 10 a.m. Unfortunately it’s a team that must normally wake up about 11 a.m. because that’s how long it took the team to put their game together. Although they played a strong game defensively, limiting Hen­ sail to a few good scoring chances, they weren’tdoing nearly aswell in the offensive zone, lacking the kind of aggressiveness that has allowed them to string wins together recently. After a scoreless first period, Hensall struck first with an unassisted goal midway through the second. For nearly a period it looked like that might be enough to let Hensall hang on but in the third, Blyth's power play finally clicked when Mike McNichol finished off a nice three-way passsing play from Ian Andrews and Kevin Souch for an easy tap-in goal. That wasn’t enough to wake up the Blyth team yet, though, because Hensall camebackand scored a short-handed goal to take the lead again with under five minutes left in the game. But just 43 seconds later, Rob Finch tied the game again on an assist from Mike McNichol. Twenty-seven seconds later, McNichol was back again when he banked a centering pass from the side of the net off the goaltender ’ s skate for an insurance goal. Then with less than two minutes left, Kevin Souch salted the game away scoring while falling to the ice to close out the 4 - 2 win. Offensive star for Blyth was Kevin Souch, defensive star was Shawn Rutledge and Jason Elliott was rewarded for his effort in goal.

Blyth gained their last lead of the game, and series, due largely to some very hard work. Jerrod Button notched the power play goal as he was set up beautifully by centreman Mike Bromley. Brussels eventually tied the game and then took a 4 - 3 lead with ten and one half minutes left in the game on a power play goal of their own. Blyth gave it their best effort but it was not to be this time. Brussels won the game 4 - 3 and thus eliminated the Blyth novices from further playoff competition.
