DECEMBF.R 21, 1983 OHtS Clinton Mustangs shoot down By Rod Hilts The Clinton Mustangs are improving with age. Last weekend the Mustangs blasted the Hanover Barons 7-3 and outplayed the Kincardine Kinucks but lost 7-4. In Sunday night's victory, Clinton was paced by two -goal performances from Tony Gibbings and Brent Daw. Daw had a four - goal weekend. "The difference in our game tonight was that we came to play hockey. We played for 60 minutes for a change," Head Coach Bob Zimmer said. Daw opened the scoring for the Mustangs at the 12:35 mark of the period as he took two swipes at a rebound before scoring on Baron goaltender Scott White. The goal was initiated when Tom Smith won the draw in Hanover territory and fed a pass to Brad Armstrong. Armstrong drilled a shot and Daw scooped up the rebound. Hanover tied the score at 5:46 with 10 seconds left in their powerplay. Steve Reay picked up a loose puck inside the Clinton blueline and his wrist shot made its way into the glove -hand corner past a screened Pat Cronin. The opening period was rather tight - checking and chippy. Clinton's Kevin Lee and Hanover's Darrell Mountain were ejected for fighting with 4:33 remaining. The fight was a real toss and tumble affair with neither player inflicting much damage on the other. anover Hanover capitalized on the Mustangs' inability to clear the puck with a goal five minutes into the second period. Chris Ross unloaded a slapshot from the point through a maze of players. Cronin had little chance on the shot. Some gritty forechecking by Brad Hymers led to Clinton's second goal. Hymers stole the puck behind the Baron net and made a perfect pass to Dean Arm- strong, who was alone in the slot. Armstrong blasted a shot behind White in one motion. The Tom Smith, Brent Daw and Brad Armstrong line swarmed the Baron net throughout the period but were stopped by goal posts and plain bad luck. Grant Garrow shot the Mustangs into the lead with eight minutes remaining in the period. Garrow fought off a Hanover defender and took a nice pass from Tom Smith before ripping a shot between White's pads. Credit goes to Brad Armstrong on the play. Armstrong took a lot of slashes from White but managed to break the goalten- der's concentration. Clinton continued to press in the second period as some sharp stick work by Jeff LeBeau put the Mustangs up by two. LeBeau stickhandled around the defense, swept out in front of the net and was stopped by White. Converted right winger Jirn Mathers, jumped on the rebound, putting the puck ifth cons 7®3 fs r f ` win high over the sprawled goalie. When Lee was ejected in the first period, Mathers was moved from his defense position to play the wing. His presence on the wing made op- position defenseman leery as the stalky lad threw several bone -shattering checks. The Barons crept to within one with 2:33 left in the period when three Mustangs were caught up ice. Reay made a perfect pass to Ross, who pulled Cronin out of the net and deposited the puck low to the corner. Tempers ran high in the period and with 37 seconds left Clinton's Randy Marriage and Hanover's Gary Rouw were ejected for their wrestling match. Perhaps the most controversial play of the game came three minutes into the third period when a Hanover goal was disallowed. Reay scored what appeared to be a goal but Referee Garry Raker disallowed it, saying there was a man in the crease. Clinton breathed a sigh of relief and went on to score three unanswered goals in the period. Midway through the period Tony Gibbings scored with a 25 -foot wrist shot that beat White to the stick -hand corner. Daw continued his goal scoring rampage with 2:34 left when his wrist shot whistled past White. Jim Mathers was ejected from the game with 41 seconis left when he seeked a measure of revenge against Hanover's • • • 4 Open Tuesday, Dec. 27 with Great Values for Everyone We hope your home and heart are filled with laughter, joy and good will this glad holiday season.

Reay, who was an object of controversy throughout the game, simply fell to his knees and covered up while Mathers threw punches into him. Mathers will be suspended from this Friday's game for his actions. Hanover pulled their goaltender with 40 seconds remaining allowing Gibbings to hit the empty net for his second goal of the game. "I'm pleased with the progress of the team, each game we get better. I think Hanover will be the team to beat in the playoffs," Coach Zimmer concluded. Kinucks 7 Clinton 4 Zimmer said his players "played well enough to win, but missed opportunity after opportunity in the second period." The Mustangs fired 39 shots at Kinucks' goalie Randy Petrik but could only manage four goals. Goal posts and luck were not on the side of Clinton as they clearly dominated play but were unable to cash in on their opportunities. Dave Petteplace got Kincardine on the scoreboard 50 seconds into the game. Al Eadie drew an assist on the play. Clinton bounced back to tie the score at 16:37 when Brad Hymers connected on a powerplay. Randy Marriage and Dean Armstrong collected assists on the play. Assistant Captain Brian Catto gave Kincardine the lead going into the dressing room as he notched an unassisted goal at the 11:21 mark. Kincardine outshot Clinton 14-12 in the period. Four goals by the Kinucks in the second period led to the downfall of Clinton. Dave Fair with two, Jeff Stanley and Todd Bryant scored for Kincardine. Brent Daw from Tom Smith and Brad Armstrong scored Clinton's lone goal in the period. According to Mustang Manager Wayne Wiggins, the Daw, Smith, Armstrong line played excellent and were robbed on several occasions in the second period. Both teams exchanged goals in the final frame. Daw collected his second goal of the game at the 1:19 mark assisted by Brad Armstrong. Mike Burrows scored a powerplay goal for the Kinucks, sealing the 7-4 victory. Playoff Picture The Mustangs have nine games remaining in their schedule. Six games are at home and three on the road. The playoff picture looks dim as they trail the final playoff position, occupied by Hanover, by 10 points. Peewees win On Dec. 13, the Clinton Peewee A's travelled to Wingham and trounced the home team 6-1. Both clubs played defensive hockey in the first period with neither team scoring. Devon Colquhoun supplied the Clinton goals in the second period by scoring two unassisted markers. In the third period Norris Flynn cashed in from the slot on a play assisted by Mike Corey. At the 10:50 mark Derek Jefferson scored his first of three goals assisted from Curtis McCone and Scott Brown. The goal wag scored on a great three-way passing play. Jason Coultes got Wingham on the scoreboard with a goal at 5:40. Derek Jefferson added the final two goals of the game in the last five minutes to make the final score 6-1 in favor of Clinton. The Clinton Mustangs split a pair of weekend games. Last Friday they lost 7-4 to Kin- cardine but on Sunday they rebounded to bomb Hanover 7-3.(Rod Hilts photo) .. a . . v• • . . . • 0 j\i lo APO ' :i. • • e • 1%.:•....• • • • • • • • . • • •• •• 7 FUNCTION L.C.D.

The Goderich Vikings used a full court press in the early going to rattle the Junior Redmen and cause many turnovers. The po- tent Goderich offense was able to convert the Redmen miscues into easy baskets and thus opened up a sizable lead, which the Redmen never relinquished. Clinton was led by Shawn Lester, whose 18 pts. made him the game's top point getter. Donny Hearn with six, Travis Lyndon with five, Terry Cox, four and Marvin Backer with two rounded out the Redmen scoring.
