Here’s a wish to all of our friends
that the wonderfully-exciting
spirit of Christmas come
to your house and remain
throughout the New Year.
Riverside Poultry Co
Games Average 15 Goals Each;
Lucan Widens Margin On Top
The boys in the Cyclone
League are really going after
that scoring title! In the first
seven games of the schedule,
they’ve scored 109 goals—-an
average of 15.57 tallies per
What a nightmare for
minders!
The big scores indicate
type of hockey the league is
producing so fax’ this year-—it's
strictly an offensive brand feat
uring a concentrated attack and
a Toose or indifferent defence.
You might say the teams are
figuring it this way: Never mind
how much the opposition scores
—just keep ahead of them.
There are several possible
factors that might explain this
high-scoring league play.
One, of course, is the fact that
the teams in the league may not
be too evenly matched this year.
Scores like 16-3, 15-7, 12-5 in
dicate a big differe nee in
strength. However, if you boil
the results down to approximate
basic odds—5-1, 2-1, 5-2—they
aren’t too bad.
Along this same line, another
explanation might be the differ
ence 'in conditioning
teams. Some are
shape than others
season because of
advantages.
Offense Conscious
The third, and perhaps most
important factor is that coaches
are concentrating on developing
the team’s attack and ignoring
its defence. The forwards aren’t
backchecking seriously and little
defensive strategy is being used.
In many cases, defensemen play
more of an offensive role than
that of a guard.
From the .fans’ standpoint,
this type of freewheeling hockey
produces a lot of goal-scoring
excitement but it also promotes
ragged, shinny play
the best to watch,
Pattern Play
Some spectators
teams would be wise
rate more on their defense and
develop more pattern play. This
might eliminate the rough edges.
It would certainly help the
goaltenders!
Zurich Raps Dashwood
Zurich busted out with a first
period scoring spree of 11 goals
to submerge Dashwood Tigers
Friday night when the two rivals
met for the first time this year.
Final score was 16-3.
■The largest crowd of the
son, about 800, witnessed
match in the Exeter arena.
The visitors opened their
rage 50 seconds after the face
off and scored enough goals in
the first four minutes to win the
game. They swarmed over the
Dashwood net like a colony of
bees on a patch of flowers.
After the first period slaugh
ter, the teams settled down to a
rougher brand of hockey and
fans were cheering fights in
stead of goals. Tempers were
high and the refs thumbed 16

amass a total of 12 points—

his first game.

ing the netminders with a goals-
against average of three. Hot on
his tail is Jake Barnes, of Lu

Irish Upset Ilderton
Lucan Irish upset Ilderton
7-2 Friday night to stretch their
win streak to three games. The
Irish now have a four-point lead
over the rest of the teams in
the league.
The winners took advantage
of lessons learned in a pre
season loss to the Ilderton boys
and played smart hockey, both
offensively and defensively 4 to
win when the points counted.
Watson sparked Lucan to the
surprise win with two goals early
in the first period. Davis, Glen
and Fred Revington, Bill Smith
and Hodgins scored the other
markers.
Don Urbshott and Carmichael
nicked the Ilderton counters.,
Leroy Revington, one of the
top point-getters for the Irish,
was taken to hospital for stitches
on a forehead cut. He assisted
on both Watson goals.
Lucan ied 3-0 in the first
period and widened the margin
to 5-1 in the- second.
Goalie Jake Barnes sparkled
in the winners’ nets.
Ten penalities were
during the tussle.
