With only seconds left in the'per- iod, Arthur's Randy Freeland, not content with a minor slashing penalty, attempted to draw Wingham's Gerry Wheeler to the penalty box with a vicious at- tack on the Ironman who kept his cool.

At 3:40 Doug Leitch jacked up the puck in the Arthur order., darted behind. the net and slipped a�. quick pass to Steve Caslich, to Gerry Wheel- er just off the crease, and with a quick lift Gerry lofted the puck into the top corner to shoot the Ironmen ahead for the first time in the game. At 4;51 Brian Yahbee picked off a rebound from Murray Black's hard blast and as quick as a wink Brian drover that little round puck into that square old Arthur net. 4A minute and a second later Gerry Wheeler\threw the puck out from behind the. net to Steve Caslick, who used the goal post to carom a perfect pass to Doug Leitch who dented the twine to' send the Ironmen ahead 5 to 2. • Arthur's power play came through with an unassisted goal by Randy Freeland at 9:06 to close the gap to 5 to 3 and more than one Ironmen fan shuddered in fear those Screaming Arthur Eagles would repeat last Friday night's performance. However, the pressure was eased when, playing a man short, the Ironmen with strong checking forced the Eagles to hurry a pass and Doug Leitch was johnny-on-the=spot and made no mistake as he shot the Ironmen into a 6 to 3 lead at 10:55. With Gerry Wheeler's goal at 15:02 the Ironmen had the game well in hand. However Arthur kept skating and a power iilay goal .at 16:17 by Larry Woods rounded out the scoring. With time running out and all sting out of their attack in a, rather frus- trated state, Arthur appeared to attempt to relieve their dejection by vicious attacks on various Ironmen and when the game end- ed Arthurr had no less than five players in the penalty box.

Bob took two strides -over the Arthur bluelue and let go a low hurricane' blast into the lower corner of the net, Arthur's Wayne Rooney picked up their first penalty in the game. at 19:23 and. Wingham's power play put Wingham two ahead as Dave Hodgins took a pass from Cliff Hetherington and, position ed„three feet inside the blueline, threaded "a quick shot into "the Arthur net. Wingham came out in the' second and with Gerry Wheeler's;. goal from a sharp;anglejnow•ba .�..thmcaee.:gQal lead. Two „m�te�. later Wingham's ' Bob Johnston, picked off a bad-Arthiuir' `pas:; •in the centre zone and streaked into Arthur territory where a faked shot and followed by a quick shift; tucked the puck ii behind the Arthur goalie . to shoot Wingham into a four -goal lead. Arthur kept pressing and hit the score sheet at 14:56 on Dave . Draper's goal. With the score 4 to 1 for the Ironmen the third period saw action' aplenty — not only on the ice but in the crowd. After about Three minutes of ice time the action focused behind the players' benches as fans' fists flew and one spirited Arthur supporter dangled from an arena rafter with his boots flailing away. It was rather unusual to see the tables turned as the players stood on the ice, spec- tators to the fisticuffs in the crowd. When action resutned, it was Arthur on the attack and Dave Draper's goal at 4:20 closed the gap to 4 to 2. Arthur kept pressing and Wayne Rooney's goal at 13:34 put them right back in the game and seemed to give their whole team new skating legs and press the Ironmen they did. The fans were on their feet, Wingham hoping their boys could hold that one -goal margin and Arthur hoping for the equalizer. Strong, quick skating by Ar- thur's big guns forced the Ironmen into freezing the puck time after ,time in their own end and this spelled trouble for the Ironmen. Double trouble came at the 18': 15 mark as Wingham pick- ed up a hooking penalty. This gave Arthur the opportunity they were seeking and it took their power play a mere 24 seconds. It was a tie game and the teams traded ends for 10 minutes of overtime. The first minute of overtime saw no less than two goals scored. Ironmen's Gerry Wheeler scored in 13 seconds but Arthur rebounded and evened it tip at the 59 second mark, Then it' was exciting end to end hockey with both teams having golden opport- unities but unable to beat two rather remarkable performances by two top -match goalies. After a ten minute break with the score tied 5 to 5 the teams went into sudden death overtime. In that first 20 minute period of overtime the Ironmen certainly carried the play and appeared to have the Arthur Screaming eagles on the ropes, but try as they could they just couldn't get that clincher. They hit posts, with the goalie out of position; they missed open corners on time and time again with golden opportun- ities just couldn't,get a stick on that puck which bounced every- where but in the Arthur net. As the clock struck twelve the teams took another break before going into the third overtime period. It was now the wee hours of Saturday morning and with sudden death overtime, the question was who was going to be the Saturday Morning Hero? It happened at 9:13 of the third overtime period, coincidentally exactly four hours after the start of the game. A lead pass from Arthur's John Bell sent Arthur's "Mighty -Mite" Wayne Rooney over the blueline and a perfect low shot from about 20 feet out and it was a big win for Arthur. Whistle Stops... It's just too hard to find suitable adjectives to describe the excitement provided by these two fine teams .... It was the largest crowd in the local arena for some torte and as one of the residents in the neighbour- hood of the arena put it, "Gee with all the cars around and the boisterous hollering, it brought back memories of by -gone Stain- ton Spitfire crowds" . ▪ This men Doug Leitch broke a skate blade and Dad Ken made a dashing exit. In no time flathe had the skate welded and back in the game ... Noticed an odd nurse reluctantly leave for hospital duty and a few corning off duty drop in to pick up the dying minutes of action ... It was. a tough one for the Ironmen to lose, particularly afters having a four goal lead Without a doubt Ironmen goalie Benny Blackwell was the outstanding player, in the game and when that final goal went in I think every loyal Iron - men fan shed a tear inwardly for Benny. He was just sensational, and deserved a win in this one.. .
