Brussels PeeWees win 2, lose 1 in tournament play
It was a good start, but after a third
game loss, Brussels PeeWees were
eliminated from further tournament
play at Goderich's Young Canada
Week.
The first game was March 12
against Goderich CTC. Brussels
took control in the beginning with a
three goal attack in the starting peri-
od, while shutting down their oppo-
By Hugh Nichol
March break has
officially ended
signaling a close to
one of Canada's
greatest winter
phenomenons, the
annual Goderich
Lions PeeWee
hockey tournament, better known as
the Biggest Little Hockey
Tournament in the World.
The tournament, first held in 1950,
was conceived and nurtured through
the efforts of a Mr. Nip Whetstone.
At the time, organized minor hockey
programs were in their earliest stages
and there, were no groupings for
players under the age of 13.
A previous attempt by the WOAA
to establish a PeeWee league had
failed while the OMHA was concen-
trating its efforts at the Juvenile,
Midget and Bantam levels.
With the announcement that
Goderich would soon be home to a
new artificial ice arena Whetstone
was convinced that a tournament
would be the perfect opportunity to
promote PeeWee hockey in
Midwestern Ontario. On April 1,
1950 his efforts were rewarded when
12 teams came together for a one-
The Brussels Bulletts travelled to
Elma Logan Thursday, March 15 for
the third game in this six-point
series. It was tense from the start
with both teams tied at two points
Novices win 4-1
The Brussels Novices wound
down their season with an exhibition
match against Wallace, March 17.
Evan Ducharme opened the scor-
ing for Brussels late in the first.
Brendan StrettOn put the home team
up by two with just 11 seconds
remaining in the frame.
Wallace drew to within one in the
second when they slipped the puck
between the legs of netminder
Brianne Wheeler. Quick goals min-
utes later by Stretton and Robert
Cronin sealed Brussels' 4-1 victory.
The parents will challenge the
team this Saturday morning.
Curling results
There were 32 curlers playing in
the recent Brussels Curling Club jit-
ney.
Winners were: first, 31.25 and
eight rocks, Stu Steiss, Brenda
McIntosh, Bob Alexander, Rose
Whiteley; second, 31.25 and seven
rocks, Ernie Lewington, Fran
Bremner, John Gillis, Becky

nents. Scoring were Adam McClure,
Andrew McDonald and Matt
McClinchey. Getting credit for the
assists were Mitch Blake, Gieg
Bowers, Matt White and Justin
Mayne.
Brussels held its lead through a
scoreless second period, then
increased it in the third when Mayne
bulged the twine, off the stick of Phil
day, single-loss elimination tourna-
ment. Brussels was one of the origi-
nal teams entered although their stay
was short lived courtesy of Jack
Chin's three goals in a 6-0 Lucknow
shutout.
The tournament proved an instant
success and its growth in popularity
was beyond belief. The following
winter 26 teams were entered and the
event expanded to four days, truly
becoming Young Canada Week.
Newspaper articles detailing the
action began appearing in The
Stratford Begcon-Herald, The
London Free Press, and The Toronto
Star, Telegram and Globe and
Mail.
In 1954 Winnipeg became the first
non-Ontario based team to compete
and in 1967 the idea of 100 teams in
honor of Canada's 100 years became
a reality.'
I had a privilege of participating in
the 1968, 1969 and 1970 tourna-
ments. The first was my most suc-
cessful and although exact details are
vague I do remember earning a
shutout against Zurich in game one,
defeating, I believe, Ilderton in game
two, posting a decisive win over
Plattsville in game three, blindly
falling on the puck just as it reached
each.
The Bulletts started strong charg-
ing the Elma Logan net but failed to
put one in. The line of Michelle
Cook, Brittany Campbell and Ashley
Ritchie put on a great display of
forechecking resulting in numerous
scoring chances, Jenni Hopf,
Michelle Nixon, Nicole White and
Kristen Palmer shored up the other
line with some tight backchecking
keeping the Elma Logan shooters at
bay.
Midway through the second period
the Bulletts took the lead on a goal
by Ritchie on a scramble in front
Wedow. Two quick goals from
Goderich finally got them on the
board and within reach, but BoAters
lit the light in the dying minutes to
end the scoring at 5-3. White assist-
ed.
Game two, also on March 12, was
a 6-0 romp over Exeter LL. Tate
Stephenson and McClinchey put
Brussels up by two in the first peri-
the goal line with seconds remaining
in a one goal verdict against Lucan
and finally a 6-1 loss to Belmont in
the final.
While the defeat must have been
heartbreaking we took solace in that
it was Belmont's third consecutive
title, and that later in the year they
were crowned the OMHA All-
Ontario Champions.
I also have memories of Bill
Kirkey wishing each of us good luck
before every game, the wooden sou-
venir hockey sticks that proved ideal
for floor hockey, the program or
more specifically the cartoon cover
featuring "ting" and that in 1968
wrestling champion Whipper Billy
Watson made an appearance on
behalf of the Easter Seal campaign.
The tournament was the result of a
dream that continues to survive 50
plus years later. Its cause has been
carried on by countless volunteers
who gladly donate their time without
expectations or questions asked. It is
a tribute to the spirit of small town
Ontario and as the 50th anniversary
edition book stated, has provided
many of us with fond and lasting
memories of the community, its peo-
ple, and the best hockey tournament
in the world.
Logan
assisted by Nixon and Campbell.
The Elma Logan team attempted an
'offensive threat of their own but
were turned away time and time
again by Nikki Berfeltz in the
Brussels cage. The defensive
tandems of Rachel Elliott and Sarah
McDonald and Kerrie and Danielle
Good did an excellent job of clearing
the puck from the Bulletts' zone.
The lone goal proved to be enough
as Brussels skated away with the
victory and a two-point lead in the
series.
The next game was Tuesday,
