Crusaders win Drayton tournament again The Brussels Crusaders regained their winning touch of last year by defending their championship at the Drayton tournament. After starting the season with six straight victories the Crusaders went into a minor tailspin when they lost two of their next four games. Their victories this weekend give the Crusaders a season record of 10 wins and two losses and one tie. In the first game of the tourna­ ment the Crusaders played a team from the Drayton-Palmerston area called the Huskies. The Crusaders jumped into an early 3 to 0 lead in the first period. After that they were content to protect their lead as each team scored once more giving Brussels a 4 to 1 victory. Goal scorers in the game were Kevin Me Arter, Dave Montgomery, Brian TenPas and Dave Stephenson. After a two-hour delay caused by a power failure the Crusaders came Injuries cripple Bulls effort If heart and desire could win a hockey game the Brussels Bulls would have arrived home with an easy two points from Lucan last Wednesday. However the Juniors, with eight regulars missing, simply ran out of gas late in the game and lost a heartbreaking 5-3 decision to the Irish. Lucan opened the scoring midway through the first period only to have Marty Rutledge score on a pass from Joel Baker for a 1-1 tie after 20 minutes. Despite being badly outplayed and outshot by Lucan the game remained tied until early in the third when Steve Fritz gave the Bulls a powerplay goal set-up by Rutledge and Vincent. Minutes later a Craig Robertson point shot gave the Bulls a surprising 3-1 lead. Refusing to die Lucan tied the score with two quick powerplay goals and tasting victory the Irish swarmed the Bulls net until finally at the 16:19 mark they fired the game winner.

The final score was 1 to 0 in favour of the Overloads. Harry Wilson played another strong game in the Over­ loads goal and recorded the shutout. The members of the winning team who participated in the tournament were: goaltender, Harry Wilson; Volunteers needed out flying in their second game against their league rivals from Drayton. In the first period the Crusaders built up a 4 to 1 lead. Scoring for Brussels in the period were Kevin McArter, Mike Watson, David Stephenson and Troy Pocaluyko.

Mike Watson with his second goal of the game scored the Crusaders’ lone goal of the period. In the Championship final the Crusaders faced their arch rivals from Wellesley who had defeated Seaforth in the semifinals. The game began as a close checking affair with Wellesley jump­ with seconds remaining sealed the 5-3 victory. Murray Townsend who played “simply unbelievable” was injured late in the contest and will be lost to the Bulls for six weeks. Friday night in Mitchell the Juniors played their worst game of the season losing 12-6 to the Hawks. Mitchell opened quickly scoring at the 20-second mark but Bill Kinahan tied the score on the powerplay with assists going to Vincent and Taylor. Mitchell surprised the Bulls with a shorthanded goal before the Bulls powerplay responded with two goals of their own, Kinahan from Vincent and Strome followed by Kieffer from Taylor and Vincent. A goal with nine seconds remaining by Steve Wheel­ er from Coultes and Kieffer gave the Bulls a 4-2 lead after 20 minutes.

In the final minute of the second period Kevin McArter took a pass at the Drayton blueline from Mike Watson. Kevin put a nifty move on one Wellesley defender forcing the lone Wellesley defender to back in on the goaltender. His low slapshot found the corner of the net to tie the game at 1 to 1. As often happens when a team scores late in a period the Crusaders came out flying in the third period. Three minutes into the period the Crusaders struck for two quick goals. Kevin McArter fed a center­ ing pass to Kevin Dietner. Dietner’s shot was stopped by the Wellesley goalie but Randy Clarke tapped in the rebound to give the Crusaders a 2 to 1 lead. Nineteen seconds later Brian TenPas’ slapshot hit a skate in front of the net and deflected into the goal to give the Crusaders a two-goal reduced the Mitchell lead to 8-5 after two periods with assists going to Taylor and Kinahan. The Hawks outshot Brussels 28-8 during the middle frame. Mitchell scored eight seconds into the third period and added three more before Strome scored the final goal set-up by Rutledge and Vincent for a convincing 12-6 Mitchell victory. The Hawks outshot Brussels 57-37 in the game. Injuries and sickness again deleted the Bulls lineup with seven regulars not dressed including the leader ‘ Soupy ’ Campbell. The Bulls lost their third consecu­ tive game losing to the Lucan Irish 6-3 in Brussels Sunday afternoon. The loss dropped the Bulls to below .500 with a record of nine wins and 10 losses. The first period ended in a 1-1 tie. Marty Rutledge opened the scoring on the powerplay with assists going to McMillan and Coultes before Lucan tied the score with a power­ play goal of their own.

With­ out volunteers the Foundation would never be able to accomplish as much as it does in reducing premature death and disability from heart attack and stroke. All who volunteer do so for personal reasons. Somewhere, something has touched the volun­ teer personally and has led him or her to get involved. Most Heart and Stroke of Ontario volunteers have a family member or know a friend who has had a heart attack, heart surgery or a stroke. Without a doubt this is because heart disease and stroke are Canada’s number one killer. Many want to help beat this terrible health threat by giving of themselves during their spare time. The Heart and Stroke Foundation raises money to support research. The results of that research have to be communicated. It’s particularly importantfor peopletoknow that lifestyle changes can help reduce death and disability. What we eat, whether we smoke, how we pay attention to our blood pressure, how much exercise we get, all have an an influence on heart attack and stroke. How do people get that informa­ tion? That’s where volunteers help. Volunteers build awareness. Volun­ teers raise money. Volunteers save lives. Stop for a minute and think about what you would get out oi volunteering with the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario in your community. In Huron County volunteers are needed to type letters, co-ordinate the sales of the Heart Cook Book, edit the newsletter, monitor news clippings, work on the public relations committee and on the Special Events committee. In Febru­ ary, canvassers are always needed. Follow the road to a new life and volunteer with the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario.
