Central Jr. "C" hockey action this past week (playoffs semi-final), the visiting team has been the victor every time, as neither Clinton nor New Hamburg has been able to win a game on home ice. The closest either team has come to winning on home ice was last Tuesday when Clinton failed to hang on to a slim one goal lead and allowed New Hamburg to tie the game and win in overtime 4-2.. Last Friday night, under assistant coach Dan Colquhoun (former Mustang policeman) Mustangs came up with a lack -lustre game and after opening the scoring early in the first period, were nipped 3-1 by the New Hamburg Hahns. Randy Millar scored the only goal for the Stangs while Ben Doan tied the score for New Hamburg.. The Hahns scored twice in the second period on goals by Becker and Brick to finish the scoring. Some unsteady refereeing cost the Stangs a goal early in the second period when referee Ted Carson was caught - out of position, as Robt Heard fired a sure goal into the Hahns net. As a result, Carson blew the play down before the puck entered the net. Dean Ryan had a steady game in the nets for Clinton, facing 28 New Hamburg shots while at the other end, John Sweazy was tested only a mere 17 times. On Sunday night in New Hamburg, the Mustangs outmuscled and outscored the Hahns by a score of 11-8. Robbie Heard led the Mustang assault with a hat trick while Tim McLean and Mark King each fired a pair. Single goals for the Mustangs were fired by Steve Cook, Ron Sowerby, Pete Thompson and Ken Robinson. The game was a hard hitting contest, which produced almost 80 penalty minutes. The Stangs led the game'from start to finish with a first period lead of 5-2 and a second period lead of 8-3. On Tuesday night, it was a different story as the Mustangs were only one minute away from victory ,.and ended up losing in overtime by a score of 4-2. Ira, an exciting game which had th,e fans on their feet all night, New Hamburg's Steve Adair tied the garne with only one minute left and sent it into overtime. Randy Millar opened the scoring for Clinton early in the game and an unfortunate penalty to goaltender Mark Nelson allowed New Ham- burg's Rick Cressman to tie it up. The second oe'riod remained scoreless and Millar's second goal of the evening gave Clinton a 2-1 lead which stood up until 18.57 of the final period. It took New Hamburg only 29 seconds In the overtime to score the eventual winner and try as they might, the Stangs failed 'to score in the dying minute of the game. New Hamburg scored into an empty net with three seconds remaining in the overtime, Mark Nelson played an outsta,ndtng game making 49 saves.. This series is far from over yet., as the Mustangs have yet to lose on New Hamburg ice this year. mit Mustangs can win this game Saturday night in New Hamburg at. 8 p.m. with a lot of support from the Clinton and area fans.
