COX Clinton's Junior "C" Cen- tennial Mustangs were eliminated from further action in the OHA Junior "C" Playoffs, losing out four games to two in a best of seven series against the New Hamburg Hahns. Clinton had led at one point twopmes to one, but the powerful and experienced Hahns came back to defeat them three games in a row. The Mustangs played well however, giving , the division winning Hahns a run for their money, in Clinton's. first year as a Junior "C" contender. New Hamburg - 8, Clinton - 6 This game, played in Clinton last Thursday evening, turned out to be the turning point of the series. The Mustangs started fast, the momentum of two wins in a row over the Hahns showing in their fine play. They jumped ahead 5-1 in the second period and seemed to have the game in control. However, in the last two minutes of the second period with Clinton playing two men short, the New Hamburg team rallied, and scored twice. The Hahns kept coming in the third and eventually overtook the Mustangs and defeated them 8-6. The Clinton players did not give up and started a comeback of their own, only to lose out to the time clock. New Hamburg played their finest hockey in this last period and were very impressive with their skating and passing, and with their effective power play which proved itself again in the final ' two . games. Scoring for Clinton in the losing effort were Neil Colquhoun, Dan Colquhoun and Steve Cook with two goals apiece.' New Hamburg - 6, Clinton - 3 New Hamburg -7, Clinton - 5 Last Sunday night a fine home town crowd attended the game at the Clinton arena. They were joined by a sizable contingent from New Ham- burg. It was do or die for the Mustangs and they gave it everything they had. The teams traded control and scoring for the first period and a half when a five minute elbowing penalty was assessed to the Mustangs. During that five minutes, the Hahns scored three times and left the ice at the end of the second period with a 7-4 lead. In the final stanza, the Mustangs charged at the New Hamburg goal and controlled most of the play, but could score just one goal. The game ended 7-5 for New Hamburg and the season ended for the Mustangs. It was a joy to watch two fine teams competing at such a level for supremecy, but as in all sports there can be only one winner and this time it was the Hahns. Scoring for Clinton were Bill Irwin with. two goals, Neil Colquhoun, Barry Lane and Steve Cook with one each. The Centennial's season is now over for the Mustangs and one can only feel a respect and pride for the team and their accomplishments. By moving up to Junior "C", they refused to stagnate at one level. They entered a league where the competition is strong and fierce, but where they could grow, learn and improve with each game. Anyone reading my column this winter must have realized that my writing was far from objective! . It couldn't be; for being involved with such a fine group of people as I was made it impossible to be that way. I wish to personally thank everyone- involved for their contribution to the effort and their help to me. This includes the team executives and management, the recreation committee, the coach, trainer and assistant, equipment manager, the 'staff of the Clinton Arena, minor officials, bus drivers, Dave Bieman and the board of education, Basil O'Brien, Dean Ryan and Richard Welch for their assistance to me personally, our resident goal judge, all team supporters and all the fans whose cheers and criticisms were welcomed and. appreciated. But mostly, I would like to thank the Mustangs players for the great hockey, the good times and their dedication to each other and to all of us. See you in seven months.
