Athabasca Advocate, Tuesday, January 6, 2015 - 21A North Central Bulls get bucked off by Sturgeon Mustangs Jordie dwyer advocate staff Something that has become a bit more of a problem lately saw the North Central AA Midget Bulls get fenced into another loss on Sunday. The Bulls wound up with a parade to the penalty box early and often in a 3-2 loss to the Sturgeon Mustangs in Morinville. An early first period powerplay goal got the Mustangs started and the Bulls would survive a four minute man-advantage for the home squad later in the frame, allowing them to tie the game on a goal by Jackson Roth with a little more than two minutes remaining. And despite the fact the Bulls were nailed for 12 minutes worth of penalties in the middle stanza, they managed to get the lead with 1:13 remaining on Roth’s second of the contest following a nice passing combination from Alvin Halter and Shane Witney. However, the air went out of that balloon as the Mustangs squared the game with one second left in the period. The Bulls didn’t make things easier on themselves early in the third, taking a couple of penalties including a four minute powerplay – which included an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty – just over three minutes into the frame. It wasn’t long after that advantage came to an end when the Mustangs got the eventual game winner. A couple more penalties to the Bulls meant a loss of scoring opportunities, which they got back when the Mustangs got into penalty trouble late in the game. However, they couldn’t capitalize and left without the points head coach Jody Tangedal thought they should have gotten. “Again, we had solid defence and goaltending, but couldn’t get any offence going with all the penalties. We needed to be more disciplined,” Tangedal said. The game was the first one back after an 8-3 loss in St. Albert to the Crusaders on Dec. 21 and dropping a Dec. 20 game in Camrose 4-1. Next on the horizon for the Bulls is rematch Saturday in Whitecourt, who the Bulls got their only win of the season against so far a month ago. The Bulls next home date is with Beaumont on Jan. 17 in Athabasca. www.athabascaadvocate.com Advocate The Athabasca Classifieds The Alberta Native Friendship Centres Association (ANFCA) has hired InSynch Consultants to facilitate community consultations with Alberta’s Aboriginal Friendship Centres, their partners and stakeholders. Under the new Urban Aboriginal Strategy, one of the primary activities of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada in Alberta region is to support and facilitate engagement of stakeholders in the development of urban Aboriginal community plans. These plans are important as they will guide funding decisions for the next fiscal year. The process of developing community plans will facilitate engagement of urban Aboriginal people, organizations providing programs and services to urban Aboriginal people, and other stakeholders in identifying priorities and developing collaborative strategies for addressing those priorities. These urban Aboriginal community strategic plans will inform our development of a strategic Alberta-wide regional plan that will guide NAFC/ANFCA investments from both the Community Capacity Supports and Urban Partnerships funding streams in future years. Athabasca Native Friendship Centre will be hosting a 2-3 hour session on January 7th at 1:00 pm. Refreshments will be provided.
