For 13 young hockey players, Easter Saturday 1977, may be remembered as one of the .most exciting days of their lives for it was this day that they were proven to be the best PeeWee team in their category in all of 'Ontario. To be on a, Provincial Championship team is an achievement few experience in a lifetime, an honor In "'be remembered for years to come. -The route to the Championship began on March 3, when the Dublin team won the Western Ontario title and advanced to the 0.M.H.A. quarter-final series. At tha(point, there were seventeen • teams from various parts of the Province in the running for the top award. The elimination rounds reduced the number to the two best, teams in the province for the final series between Dublin • and Flesherton. Previous newspaper reports of the games in this series are indicative of the match-up. While it may now ,.be said that Dublin was never in 4, real trouble throughout, the first two games ended in overtime ties, and two, others were won' by one goat-Tilt credit goes to the Flesherton team for a supreme effort over the five game series. Dublin's win on Saturday to clinCh the title was no' giveaway as both, teams (played, extremely, well. Flesherton faced' elimination and -Dublin could wrap up the • series with a win. With , that motivation, the tension and _excitement increased from the opening face-off. The first, period ended ' in a scoreless tie, despite several good scoring opportunities at both ends. In the second, Dublin went ahead' on goals by Louis Looby and Pat Melady, only to have Flesherton come back to tie the score by the :end of the period. Early in the third, Flesherton got the go-ahead goal and continued in the lead until- the miway iriark when. John. Hicknell scored the equalizer. • As the minutes passed, another overtime game seemed imminent,- or in fact, a sixth game in Seaforth on Easter - Sunday' was a possibility- But 'with two minutes and nine seconds remaining, Louis Looby, on a very clever play from' behind the Flesherton net, moved out . frontand tucked the Pnek'into the empty corner. That goal -proved to "Thethe Winner-as the boys hung on to their 4-3 lead in the dying seconds of the 'game. • The Dublin team was undefeated in thirteen playoff . games which is evidence enough that they are ,true champions. They trained as a team and they played as a team, and each member is to be congratulated for his part in this total tears effort. The• tremendonS fan support which followed the team in the ;final ,.series was highly commendable and helped to inspire the team to its eventual vic ory.
