Stangs win opener over Walkerton
By Bryan Marriage
After a shaky regular
season ending, the Clinton
Mustangs opened their group
semi-final playoff with a 6-4
victory over the Walkerton
Black Hawks Tuesday night.
The Mustangs, minus
veteran Steve Cook and Bill
Irwin turned in a solid per-
formance, particularly in the
first period when they out-
scored their opposition 3-1.
Bill Smith opened the
scoring for the Stangs
following by John Graham,
and Chris Cossitt. Each feam
scored twice in the second
periodas Jamie Richards and
Paul Priestap scored for the
-Mustangs.
Tim • McLean scored the
lone Clinton goal in the third
period. McLean also had two
assists in the game.
The second game of the
series was played in
Walkerton Wednesday night
and the third game will be
played th s Friday night in
Clinton at 8:30 p.m.
In other Clinton games last
week, the local boys won two
and lost one as they closed out
the schedule. Sunday's loss in
Port Elgin 7-3 meant nothing
as far as the standings were
concerned- because Clinton,
although tied with Listowel
for points, had beaten the
Cyclones four games to three
throughout the season and
took first place.
The Clinton goals, two by
Bill Irwin and one by. Pete
Thompson were all scored. in
the latter stages of the game.
Jurgen Hellman made his
first start in the net for the
Stangs since early in January
to test his sore knee.
Last Friday night in Clinton
in the game which decided
who should have first place in
the league, the Stangs
downed the Kinucks of
Kincardine 3-2.
Dave Stephenson fired the
winner at 18:45 of the third
period. The Kinucks playing
like a playoff contender
played extremely well and
received solid goaltending
from John Collins.
The first two Mustang goals
were scored by Paul Helesic
and Jamie Richards.
Last Thursday night, the
Stangs travelled to Walkerton
for a preparation for playoff
game and skated off with a
convincing 6-4 win also.
Tim McLean led the
Mustang marksmen with a
hattrick and singles were
fired by Jamie Richards,
Pete Thompson and Dave
Stephenson.
In the other Jr. "C" playoff
series, the Port Elgin Bears
face the Cyclones of Listowel
and the winners of each series
meet for the Central Jr. "C"
championship.
In the Great Lakes"Jr. "C"
series the powerful Essex
73's, who lost only one game
all year, seem to have a
strangle -hold on that division
and the winner of the Central
division meets the winner of
the Great Lakes Division in
the OHA semi-finals.
In other Jr. "C" action (off
the ice) the 350 Club held their
monthly draw last Friday
night and Ken Scott of
Brucefield was the winner of
$100.
Due to the illness of Steve
Cook, and Bill Irwin and'
injuries to Greg Butler,
Clinton Minor Hockey
prospect Tony Gibbings
dressed as a replacement.
Tony, in his last year as a
bantam, saw limited action
with the Stangs but will
probably be a steady
blueliner in years to come.
The Mustangs face off
against 'Walkerton in game
three on Friday night at 8:30
and then will possibly play in
Walkerton on Sunday and
again next Tuesday in
Clinton.
Watch for posters at your
favourite stores for future
games in this series, and
remember to support the
Mustangs for continued fine
hockey in the town of Clinton.
Many skaters pass CFSA tests
BY CAROL FOX
Saturday, February 18 was
a very important day to
several of ur senior and
intermediate skaters because
they were trying C.F.S.A.
Tests in our own arena.
Despite "pre-test" jitters, all
our senior skaters turned out
to coach the "little people" at
11:30 a.m. Remember,
mothers, amateur coaches
are volunteers and receive no
remuneration for their work.
The Clinton Figure Skating
Club is very proud of its
skaters and their ac-
complishments. We have six
senior skaters who are
"midway" in their ultimate
goal of a gold medal. All of
these skaters are working pn
their fourth figure test and
four of them arp working on
their junior silver free
8kating test.
In ice dancing, five are
working on the senior silver
dances and the sixth is on the
gold dance test.
All these skaters have been
members of our club from the
beginning of their skating
careers. They started out in
the same type of N.S.T.
program that the young
people are offered today.
They have seven regular
hours of ice a week in which
to keep pace with skaters who
spend four or five hours a day
on the ice and through hard
work they are able to com-
pete with these other skaters.
They have developed a
reputation for being the
hardest working skaters in
the area and although this
test day was not too suc-
cessful for them, it must be
remembered 'that figure
'skating test standards are
very high and the passing
average in Western Ontario
last year for the tests being
tried was only 34 per cent.
Keep up the hard work!
There will be `other test days
with happier endings.
Some of our skaters were'
successful on the test day.
They are: Dutch waltz, Linda
Lockwood; canasta tango,
Anne Lavis; fiesta tango,
Mary Gibson; willow waltz,
Judy Johnston; preliminary
figure test, Jackie Norman,
Lori Consitt and Kimberley
Cook; senior bronze, free
skating test, Margaret
Dupee.
Other N.S.T. badges were
also passed on Saturday.
They are: stroking badge,
Shelly Hayter; elementary
badge, Bonita Hoak and
Shawn Lester; dance I badge,

Remember, our "annual
meeting" is to be held on
Wednesday, March 1 at the
arena. The time of the
meeting is 8:30 p.m.
However, if enough people
come to the arena at `7:30
p.m., the skaters would be
delighted to demonstrate
their skating skills in ice
dancing and free style per-
formances.
