HomeMy WebLinkAboutTimes-Advocate, 1980-04-16, Page 23INTER-PROVINCIAL LONDON For the second consecutive years the Zurich, Buckeyes have emerged as the champions of the South Huron Hockey League. The Buckeyes defeated the Exeter Mohawks 6-3 Friday in Exeter to take the best of seven series in six games, For the Zurich squad it was a, total team effort with all three lines sharing in the • scoring output. Leading the way for the Buckeyes who last year defeated the Goderich Merchants for the title, Were Gerald Weido and Mike Clarke with a pair of goals each. Tom Ryan had two counters to lead the way for the first year Mohawks, The Buckeyes applied the pressure from the opening whistle with Clarke picking up the first of his two goals as the result of a hard slap shot at the 33 second mark from just inside the Mohawks' blueline which eluded goalie John Hayter. The Mohawks tied the game up eight minutes later when Brion Penhale fired a back hand shot which went by Buckeye goalie Randy Oke. Penhale who had played defence most of the year was moved up to right wing when Brian Taylor one of the Exeter's top snipers, could not make the game as a result of exams at the University of Western Ontario. At the 9:58 mark Exeter took the lead as a result of some pretty passing between Ryan and Barry Baynham. With Zurich's Steve Bedour off for interference, Baynham fed a perfect pass to Ryan who was left un- covered to the right of the Zurich net. The Buckeyes came back to tie the game when Weido picked up an errant Exeter pass and fired a slap shot from just inside the Mohawks' blueline. Shortly afterwards, the Buckeyes had a golden opportunity to go ahead when on a two on one break Exeter defender Larry Mason fell and Zurich's Richard Schilbe shot over the net. Zurich's perSistence paid off and 'at 17:49 Glen Zirk shovelled a pass from. Schilbe to give Zurich a 3-2 lead heading into the dressing room. Tim. Weft had the other assist. The start of the second period saw a major change for the Mohawks as they inserted Randy Lovie bet- .weep the pipes. Lovie was picked up by Exeter from the Grand Bend Colonials for the playoffs. Unfortunately for Exeter the change seemed to make little difference as once again, the visiters picked up the first goal of the period. Clark's second goal of the game was almost a carbon copy of his first as the rangy defender moved in 10 feet from the Exeter blueline and let go a slap shot which ended up in the upper right hand corner of the net. The Mohawks then mounted a sustained attack of their own with Penhale, Baynham and Jim Guenther having good scoring op- portunities. The Mohawks finally found the puck bounce their way when Ryan scored his second of the game just after a penalty to the Buckeyes' Ron Rader had expired. Baynham passed to Jeff Fuller whose shot was, stopped by Oke but Ryan who was stationed to the right of the net banged in the rebound. After the goal, the line of Ryan, Fuller and Ron Moore continued s to apply pressure in the Zurich end but some fine goaltending and defensive work kept the Buckevei out of trouble, At 17:21 Zurich picked up its fifth goal of the game when centreman Pat Bedard spotted Weido unprotected near Lovie. Weido than banged the pass into the net 'for the score. In the final frame, the 'Buckeyes worked to protect their lead with Zirk almost adding to the total with 1:29 left on the clock. The stocky left winger made an end to end rush and ended up knocking the Exeter net off of its moorings. Both Lovie and Zirk were not hurt on the play. In a desperate attempt to tie the game, the Mohawks pulled their goalie with the move resulting in a Zurich goal. After ,taking a pass from John. Graham, Bedard flipped a shot over Baynham who was in the Exeter crease, When the final buzzer went, a happy group of Zurich players descended upon Oke who had given the Zurich squad great goaltending throughout the series and the regular season. After the two teams shook hands, league president John Stevens presented the championship trophy to team captain Graham, One of the less pleasant aspects of the post-game activities was when several of the 712 fans began throwing pop cans and in one case a bottle on to the ice surface. No one was injured when the whiskey bottle shattered. Following the game the Buckeyes and their sup- porters returned to Zurich where they' celebrated their victory. Buckeyes win at home On Wednesday the Buckeyes became the first team in the series to win a game on home ice as they doubled Exeter by the same 6-3 score. Picking up a pair of goals FIRE CALL A fire late Tuesday af- ternoon in Usborne township destroyed the interior of truck owned by a Lucan man. Firemen were called to the scene three miles east of Exeter when a vehicle driven by David Green of Lucan began to smoke. Green pulled off to the side of Concesssion four and five and by the time he had removed a battery cable, the interior was engulfed ' by flames, By the time firemen arrived, the interior had extinguished itself. Green was not hurt. for Zurich was Schilbe with his counters coming in the first and third periods. The Mohawks scored the first goal of the game at the' ight minute mark when Guenther took a pass from Brian Taylor and fired a shot past Oke. The. Buckeyes came back to score three consecutive goals as Graham, Schilbe and Bedard found the range. Desjardine, Clark and Bedour added the assists. In the second period, the Buckeyes .outscored their opposition 2-1 with Clarke and Bedour adding to the Zurich total. Weido and Rader had the assists. The lone Mohawk goal of the period came from the stick of Moore with help from Brian Taylor. The third stanza saw the teams trade goals with Schilbe scoring for Zurich and Bill Van Bergen replying for Exeter. Zirk and Nicholson assisted on the Zurich goal.
