Brussels Bantam Girls tie St. Marys
The Brussels Bantam Girls hockey
team hosted St. Marys on Saturday.
Brussels got on the score sheet
quickly, with Jory Uyl scoring 45
seconds into the game, assisted by
Colleen Aitchison and Cassandra
Uyl.
The home team dominated the
early part of the game, however St.
Marys gradually found their legs and
began to generate some scoring
chances, finally getting one past the
Brussels goal tender midway
through the second period. Both
teams continued to trade scoring
chances, but neither connected and
the game ended in a 1-1 tie.
The Brussels girls travelled to
Glencoe on Sunday for a rematch
with a rugged squad that had bested
them by one goal in their previous
meeting. This game proved to be a
similarly close-fought match. It
remained scoreless until near the end
of the second period when a Glencoe
player picked the corner on a
breakaway.
Brussels also had their share of
scoring opportunities. On one
notable shift Bridget Blake had
several close chances but was unable
to get the puck across the goal line.
In the end, Brussels ended up losing
to a very strong Glencoe squad 1-0.
“In the four games the girls have
played so far this season, all have
been very even contests, ending with
a difference of one goal or less”, said
coach Steve . Bowers. “They
continue with what is shaping up to
be a very busy November, travelling
to Strathroy on Thursday and St.
Marys on Sunday.”
Kids get time
for questions
Crusaders have rough weekend
The Brussels Crusaders lost their
two games this past weekend in
WOAA league action dropping their
record to two wins and five losses.
On Friday the team travelled to
Durham to play the Thunder Cats.
Things started off well as Tyler
Armstrong turned a Durham
turnover into a 1-0 lead scoring an
unassisted goal.
Durham tied it at one but Mike
Haggitt would restore the lead for
Brussels with help from Mark
Wilson.
Durham tied the score at two by
the end of the first period, and being
a perennial powerhouse turned on
the gas scoring four goals in the
second and 8 more in the third
enroute to a 14-2 blowout.
On Saturday night the team hosted
the Ripley Wolves.
Trailing 1-0 in the second Cory
Bragg scored a powerplay goal with
help from Haggitt to tie it up. Mike
Bromley would give Brussels a 2-1
lead with help from Haggitt and
Brett Fischer.
Ripley tied it at two with 21
seconds left in the second and would
retake the lead 32 seconds into the
third. Ripley added an empty netter
enroute to a 4-2 win.
Brussels travels to Georgian Bay
on Saturday night in a rematch with
the River Rats. The team’s next
home game will be Nov. 14 against
Clinton in Blyth at 9 p.m.

beverages will be in the parking lot
after the workshops are completed.
This will also give the children time
to ask questions and meet team
players.
Hruska said she sees this as a
“positive mentoring program.”
“The teenagers (from Madill)tare
taking their own time to come out
and work with the younger kids.
This speaks very highly of these kids
that are helping.”
Blyth Juveniles glide
to victory over Drayton
The Blyth Juveniles were all over
Drayton Oct. 31 in a home game.
The team set the tone early with
three unanswered goals in the first
period. Scoring were Neil Salverda,
Scott Austin and Micah Loder.
Assists went to Nick Courtney, Tyler
Campbell and Ryan McLean.
Salverda scored Blyth’s only goal
of the second early on, with help
from Derek Cook. Drayton,
however, finally found some steam
and answered with two less than a
minute apart to come within two.
Blyth continued to build on that
lead with two third-period goals.
Campbell got the first, while
Salverda completed his hattrick.
Assists went to Loder, Craig Marks,
Shaun Cudmore and T.J. Marks.
Drayton managed one in the third
to finish the game at 6-3 for the
hosts.
Blyth served 38
penalty time, while Drayton had 30
minutes.
Coach Robb Finch said, “The
boys played well but need to skate
harder and avoid those useless
hooking penalties. Goalie Travis
Shelton turned Drayton away
numerous times to keep his team in
the game.”
The next home game is Friday,
Nov. 7 at 9 p.m.
