Brussels Bulls rampage over Mt. 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. Plan to attend
and give the team your support.

goal before the period ended.
Steve Fritz assisted by Jamie
Nicholson scored the only goal of
the second period to give Brussels
a 2 - 1 lead. The same close hockey
prevailed in the third period with
Jamie Nicholson getting an insur-
ance marker from the blue line with
two minutes left in the game.
Neil Pipe went the distance in
the net for the win. Mildmay's only
',goal was scored by Craig Fortney
who has relatives in the Brussels
area. This loss eliminated Mild -
ay from the O.M.H.A. round of
playoffs.
The peewee's were in Ripley for
the first game of the next series on

way through the opposition for the
only goal of the first period.
