The Huskies won • the series 2-1. . • Last year the Mohawks advanced to the Eastern Canada champion- - ships but were eliminated in four - straight games. The team had hopes of going even further this -year . but after los- ing the best -of -three series to Dur- ham 2-1, those hopes were put on hold for another year. The series opened January 14, with an 8-4 win for the Huskies at the South Huron Rec Centre. The Mohawks forced a third and decid- ing.gamc by doubling Durham 4-2 Thursday night in Durham, before - being eliminated Saturday. • The Mohawks had several good chances to win Saturday night's game in the first period, but most of their shots were either wide of the net or stopped by Durham goa- lie Ron Webster. The Mohawks outshot Durham 17-8,.in the open- ing period, but trailed 1-0. The roof fell in on the Mohawks in the second period, with Durham • scoring four more times and the Mohawks were never able to recov- er. General manager Bob Rowe, - who handled the coaching chores with Gord Brooks dressed for the game,.felt the inability of the Mo- hawks to score in the first period was the key to the game. - "We"should have won that game - in the first period but we couldn't hit the net when we had our big chances. We should have had enough goals in the first -period to coast from -there, but it didn't work out that way. I think the hockey club we have right now should have been able to beat the *hockey club they have," said Rowc. Rowe said he doesn't think it will be hard to get the players mo- tivated to do well in the league playoffs. • "The players on the club this year that played last year don't real- ty feel they won anything last year and I think -they will be hungry to go,far in the playoff's. We must go back to the basics of hockey, espe- cially getting ourselves mentally prepared. We have -to -put the Hardy Cup behind us until next year and"go of ter our new goal, winning thc pro- vincial playo-lf championship;" said Rowe. - : •"Thc Mohawks outplayed- the anskies in the first period but had nothing to show for their" efforts and in fact were behind 1-0 at inter- mission, thanks to a Bob Sullivan goal, from Ken Nelson._ - • The Huskies came out flying in '- the sccond period and controlled play for most of that period.
