Blyth Atoms split games
Sports
Bulls defeat
Wellesley
for easy win
BY RUSTY BLADES
The Blyth Atoms split a pair of
games last week as they over
powered Elma-Logan 12-1 on
Wednesday and lost to a deterrnin-
ed Brussels squad 6-4 on Friday
evening.
Blyth scored three goals in the
first period and another three
unansweredgoalsinthe second
period before doubling that total in
the third while allowing a last
minute power play goal by Elma
Logan to close out the game.
Chris Lee and Michael deJong
played a strong game between the
pipes while every skater recorded
at least one point.
Henry Bos living up to his nick
name as “the Scoring Machine”
was the high point man as he
recorded the hat trick while also
contributing three assists. Michael
Bromley skated miles in this game
as he also recorded a hat trick with
some undescribable solo rushes
while also assisting on two of
Henry’s goals.
Brian McNichol was the third
member of the team to score three
goals as he used his patented
wicked wrist shot to perfection with
his final goal being a short handed
effort. Ryan Chamney picked up
two goals, with one a power play
effort, and also notched two assists
as a direct result of winning face
offs deep in the Elma-Logan zone.
James McNichol scored Blyth’s
other goal as he stuffed in a
rebound.
Blyth’s defence did an excellent
job all night of clearing the zone
and headmanning the puck to the
forwards. Jamie Bromley and
Jonathan Collins had two assists
while Peter Craig added one.
Elma-Logan scored the final
goal of the game as Blyth skated
away with a lopsided 12-1 victory.
LOSE TO BRUSSELS
Last Friday, November 20, Blyth
braved the harsh realities of winter
to travel to Brussels where they
learned a lesson in the harsh
realities of hard work. Brussels
turned the tables on Blyth as they
ou tworked and outplayed Blyth in a
6-4 victory.
They played a scoreless first
period before the red light lit up in
the second frame as the teams
traded goals throughout the peri
od. The only player who seemed to
have his skating legs for Blyth
opened the scoring as Peter Craig
made a rink-length dash and
scored an unassisted marker.
Brussels tied the score before
Peter went to work again. Peter put
on another show of puck control on
another fine rush before passing to
Michael Bromley who only had to
tip the puck past a startled
goaltender.
Once again Brussels quickly tied
the score only to see Blyth take the
lead again. Brian McNichol sent
cousin JamesMcNichol in on a
clear cut breakaway. James made
no mistake as he fooled the
goaltender with a shot to the short
side. Brussels came back again
with two goals 12 seconds apart to
take a 4-3 lead into the third.
Just over a minute into the third
Blyth scored to tie the game for a
final time. Blyth’s fine rushing
defenceman Peter Craig scored his
second u nassisted goal of the game
on another solo effort for Blyth’s
final goal of the game. Brussels
scored the final two goals of the
game to skate away with a 6-4 win
and hand Blyth their first loss of the
season. This should bring the team
back to earth as they realize the
work that has to be done before
they become a smooth skating,
hard working and fine passing
Team. Things should be interest
ing tonight, Wednesday, Novem
ber 25 as Brussels comes to Blyth
where they will continue this
intense rivalry.
WRAP UP

cancel the game until a later date.
Sunday afternoon had the

puck from a Wellesley player at
centre ice and went down to score a
short-handed goal for Brussels on a
pass from Kevin Lee. The Apple
Jacks out-shot the Bulls 9-6 in the
second period.
After playing six minutes of the
third period, Kelly Dundas scored
a power play goal from team mate
Greg Crummer to give Brussels a
3-0 lead in the game.
Four minutes later Kevin Lee
scored from Tim Fritz and Paul
Robinson for Brussels third power
play goal of the game.
Wellesley came up with their
first goal of the day with just 4:31
remaining in the game to spoil

attempt.
Just 26 seconds later defence
man Kevin Lee scored his second
goal of the game and his fourth
point of the day, on a pass from
Mike Chapman, as he shot the puck
the full length of the ice to hit the
empty net which had been vacated
by the Wellesley goalie.
Stu Bowman went down the ice
with just 3:05 remaining to score a
short-handed goal unassisted to
complete the scoring of the game
and give the Bulls 6-1 victory for
their efforts. The Bulls out-shot
