The Hensall Bantam takes on Brussels goalie during their contest in Brussels on Friday night. The home team was hot posting yet a 7-1 victory. (Ashley Gropp photo) Things got hot at the Brussels arena Saturday morning when the Huether brothers led the Tykes to an 8-2 win over Elma-Logan. The team came out strong, keep­ ing the puck in the opponents’ end for much of the contest. Herbie Runstedler got the crowd going with a good shot in the first minute, but was stopped by the vis­ iting netminder. Brussels goalie Ryan Baker was steady in goal, forcing attackers to shoot from narrow angles or go after rebounds. There were near-misses on scor­ ing chances by Brendan Stretton and Robert Cronin before Matt Huether put in the first of his five on the day. Huether took the puck at centre and wound his way past three defenders for a clear shot at the net, slipping the puck between the goalie’s legs. Brussels attackers came from all four lines. A nice face-off by Nic Gowing put the rubber on Stret­ ton’s stick for a break, but he was stopped before he could get the shot off. Shots from Zach Watson and Morgan Deitner were thwarted by the busy Elma-Logan goalie. Baker got help from his defend­ ers when Runstedler arid Jordan Roberts stopped shots from getting to the crease. Roberts cleared the puck from centre to Daniel Elliott at the blue- Atoms post Brussels Atom Rep team met Zurich for the first time this season on Friday night.

Zurich netted two more goals in the second period to make it 5 - 3. Brussels again dominated in the last period with Matt White scoring on a pass from McDonald and Roberts. Ropp scored his second of the game on passes from McClure and Chase Chapman. Zurich’s Jordan Skinner scored his third goal of the game giving him a hattrick.

Elliott slid the shot through for Brussels’ second goal. Randy Zwep and Stretton slid across the ice to deflect shots away from their net. Huether got hold of the puck again and though prevented from scoring on the first attempt by a great move from the Elma-Logan goalie, he quickly notched two more. The first came on a tight shot from the side of the net. For the second, he took a pass from Chris Becker in his end, then travelled the length of the ice to score. Gavin Bowers had the final shot of the first period, narrowly miss­ ing as it slid past the post. Baker opened the second with a great deflection and grab of the rebound when Elma-Logan came out looking to get back in the 4-0 match. After several shots on Baker, Ty Sebastian made a nice steal of the puck at centre to reverse the momentum. Ray Huether took advantage of the puck sitting in front of the Elma-Logan net and poked it in. M. Huether followed with Brus­ sels’ sixth netter after he deked sev­ eral opponents at centre. Novices win 3-1 The Blyth Novice Bulldogs played their home opener Wednesday, Oct. 27 against Hensall and recorded their second win of the season. Hensall struck first when Ryan Cooper took a pass from Brandon Bilke at 1:40 of the first to score. Blyth evened it at 15:14 of the second on a shot off the stick of Byron Broome, assisted by Tony Bean. The score remained tied until 11:30 of the third when Tony Bean’s wrist shot found the net on an unassisted goal. Blyth widened the lead with just over three minutes remaining when Curtis Robertson’s shot to the net was deflected in off an opposing player. The winning efforts of all the Novice teammates contributed to their final score of 3-1. Solid in net was Anthony Peters. Mid-way through the second frame, Elma-Logan put two on the board. The puck slid by Baker when the shooter put it in from a sharp angle. After stopping two shots in close, Baker was beaten on a shot from a second rebound. Stretton stopped a break-away as Elma-Logan continued the strong offense and Baker fought hard to keep the score at 6-2. Stretton raced a cleared puck, but narrowly missed a shot when the netminder poked it away. As time ticked down, Cole McLean cleared the puck to ease pressure on Baker. Brussels’ scoring was rounded out by Sebastian fromjhe side of the net and M. Huether when he popped it in from out front. Good digging along the boards by Danny Donkers, Conner Smith, and Andrew Watson helped Brus­ sels control much of the game. k Remembering With the last Remembrance | Day of the century soon ■ approaching The Citizen ■ would like to pay tribute to ■ the special men and women B from the area who served ■ during the wars.
