Brydges BY LOIS McARTER The Bull's were idle on Friday night but were on the road to Mt. Brydges on Saturday night to play the Bulldogs. These two teams had played before Christmas in an excellent game of hockey which ended 1-0 in favour of Brussels, but this game was not to be the same. The Bulls were prepared for a defeat as nine of their regular players were absent but not expecting one quite so severe. Mt. Brydges scored the first goal of the game but Brussels' Steve Conners and Tim Fritz combined to tie the game in the next two minutes of the period. Mt. Brydges added one more to end the period with a 2-1 lead. Mt. Brydges added three more goals in the second period to take a 5-1 lead. Two of those goals were off goal posts and appeared never to have crossed the red line but a lack of goal judges couldn't prove the officials wrong. Mike Smith replaced by Jeff McGavin in nets for the third period but he was beseiged by black rubber as well and Mt. Brydges counted six more goals for their efforts to win by a resounding 11-1 score. The lack of glass on the side boards of the arena proved an advantage to the home team as they draped the visiting team over them repeatedly. Not a pleasant game to play so close to the play offs. Sunday afternoon had the Jun- ior's travelling over to Seaforth to play the Centennaires. The usual interesting game of hockey ensu- ed. Brussels scored the first goal of the game with Tom Newbigging and Rob Cardiff getting credit for the goal with a little help from the home team defence. There was 5:40 left in the period before Seaforth got the tying goal. With a 1:401eft in the period they got their second goal to take a 2-1 lead. The second period had Seaforth come out and score three goals before Brussels got their only goal of the period. Tom Newbigging scored on a pass from Kevin McArter for the Bulls. Seaforth added two more goals to end the Mike Bromley finaily gets his hat BY RUSTYBLADES Last Wednesday, February $ had the Teeswater novice team come to Blyth for an exhibition game and the home team soundly defeated the visitors 5 - 0. Blyth opened the scoring in the first period as defenceman Shawn Hakkers fed Mike Bromley who quickly put Blyth in the lead. Four more goals were scored in the second period as Blyth put their machine in high gear and dominat- ed the rest of the game. Mike Bromley scored his second goal of the game as, once again, Shawn Hakkers made a beautiful pass to Mike who scored another pretty goal. Minutes later Mike recorded his hattrick on a beautiful unassisted effort. Just when you think you've seen all of Mike's moves, he comes up with something more Spectacular. Mike broke through the Teeswater defence at the blueline and skated in alone on the goalie. Mike then proceeded to deke the goalie right out of his pads and slip the puck into the open net. The teeswater goalie just shook his head in disbelief as he sat on the ice and tightened his pads. This talented young hockey player finally captur- ed that elusive hat as one sailed out from among the cheering crowd and onto the ice. Two goals in fourteen seconds finished the scoring for Blyth late in the second period. A picture - perfect goal was scored as centre - man Ryan Chamney won a faceoff deep in the Teeswater zone and passed the puck back to defence - man Peter Craig. Peter set up and fired afast rising wrist shot that deflected off a Teeswater player and into the net. From the ensuing faceoff at centre ice, the puck once again ended up deep in the Teeswater zone. Wingers James McNichol and Jonathan Collins worked hard and dug the puck out of the corner to Ryan Chamney, who deked around a defenceman and put a "sky -shot" into the net. As Ryan skated toward the goal he flipped the puck eight feet straight up in the air and the puck came straight down behind the goalie and intothe net. The third period was scoreless and the game ended 5-0. Although Blyth completely dominated the game, the Teeswater netminder kept the game close. Blyth goalie Josh Yanchus once again stopped everything that came his way and picked up his second shut -out of the season. Another game puck was deserved by Josh for his puck stopping prowess, but budget restrictions set down by Blyth Minor Sports made this gesture unreasonable. Playoff time is fast approaching and Blyth has drawn Huron Park in the first round. The first game will be held on Saturday, Feb. 15 at 1:00 p.m. in Huron Park. An exhibition game is planned for Thursday, February 13 in Wingham at six o'clock. period at 7 - 2. After their break Brussels came out stronger keeping the Centen- naires off the scoreboard for the third period. Dave Schmidt on a pass from Murray Dewar let a line drive go from the blue line which was deflected into the net by Tom Newbigging for Brussels first goal of the period. Kevin McArter scored the last goal unassisted on a hard shot also from the blue line. The final score was 7 - 4 in favour of Seaforth. Midget goalie Steve Coultes played in the nets for the Brussels squad. The Bulls will be back in Seaforth on Friday night for an 8:30 game. Saturday night they will be at home to Clinton for an 8 p.m. game and Sunday afternoon at home to Howick at 2 p.m. to end their league schedule. The team is planning a meet, the date to be Sunday, February 23. One price will include a hockey game at 2 p.m. and a roast beef dinner when the game is over in the auditorium. It will be the first weekend of a round-robin playoff series and the visiting team for that game will be Seaforth. Tickets will be available from any player and at J. R.'s Shake Shop.
