Bantams lose series
By George Gibson
The Bantams would like to
thank the large number of
fans who turned out for their
series with Teeswater. Un-
fortunately, the team was not
able to extend the series, as
Teeswater skated to a 4 - 2
win and the W.O.A.A.
championship.
The game opened quickly
with good end to end action
but Teeswater players were
able to finish plays to prod-
uce goals. Midway in the
first, Teeswater took a 1 - 0
lead and late in the first,
made it 2 - 0 before Lucknow
got on track.
Early in the second, Chris
Collyer broke the egg on a
play from Scott Hackett and
Donnie Murray. Less than
two minutes later, Dan Gil-
christ scored from Chris
Irwin to tie the score at 2 - 2.
However, this was the best
the locals could do, as a
series of penalties kept the
team off balance at critical
stages for the rest of the
game. Teeswater completed
their scoring with two power
play goals in the second
period.
Although the final frame
was exciting hockey and,
Lucknow players had good
scoring chances, Lady Luck
was not with them. Our con-
gratulations to the Teeswater
team. We wish you good luck
in the O.M.H.A. play downs.
Ripley District students
discuss school closing
BY JOE NUGENT
A group of R.D.S. students
eonrerned about the talk of
R.D.S. closing met last Fri-
day to discuss the situation
and prepared a presentation
for the -committee's meeting.
Students at this meeting
feel that KDSS is overcrowd-
ed as is and could not handle
an extra hundred Ripley
students. Many felt that
their schooling would lose
the personal touch that they
are used to,
RDS is an important part
of the community and Ripley
wouldn't be the same
without it.
Last Thursday RDS was
visited by Constable Don
who showed a film and spoke
to the students about van-
dalism.
The grade 11 and 12 i ttys.
Ed. classes ended their curl-
ing lessons with a fun spiel
last Friday. Top scorers
were 011ie Liddle and Leah
Coulbeck.
In 13IA curling, the Ripley
boys team defeated Sacred
Heart 7-5 in their first game.
In their next games, the boys
lost to Kincardine and then
to Chesley.
Suspended from hockey...
*from page 6
not allowed to play in a lesser league outside his designated
area even with a release.
?) if a boy is suspended for something beyond his control, he
is not allowed to associate with his former team mates in
any form of organized hockey associated with the O.M.H.A.
- be it practice or visiting in the dressing room. The boys
want ice time, but cannot get it.
P.S. The Head of any minor hockey association should be
someone with the boys' interests at heart and should not be
able to hide behind the cover of a rule book. He should keep
in the forefront of his mind that he is dealing with kids and
not adults and that the development of hockey players as
good sports is pertinent.
EVERY SITUATION SHOULD BE JUDGED
ON iTS OWN MERITS.
