HomeMy WebLinkAboutClinton News-Record, 1985-4-3, Page 14THIS ORIGINAL DOCUMENT IS IN VERY POOR CONDI'TIO'N Rage 12-CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 3, 1985 Sports From the stand: By Orme Marejko Hockey pools With the wind down of regular season ac- tion in the NHL, hockey pools are springing up all over. This year I'm, not going to let myself get caught up irr the picking of players, praying that my player doesn't get hurt or crossing my fingers in hopes that my picks aren't bad enough to make me finish in the basement. Last year a friend and I combined our hockey knowledge and joined in the com- panyhockey pool. Unfortunately we didn't get to choose first, so Wayne Gretzky was not to be on our list. In fact, we didn't have too many big names. Our top point getters were players like Lanny McDonald. He gave us a satisfactory number of points for the amount of games he played, but unfortunately his team didn't progress very far. to I found the process of picking players be rather unnerving. We'd get a player pick- ed out, but the guy who chose before us seemed to snatch him away every time, leaving us to make quick selection. After awhile we caught on to the fact that we should have a few players in mind each time our turn came up. The beginning of the playoffs went as we jihad predicted, causing us to laugh at others in the pool (who were mainly males and had given us a hard tirne throughout the draf- ting). But there were many upsets in the 1984 playoffs, none of which we had predicted causing the laughter to be directed at us. Instead of sitting in the coffee room discussing the playoffs, people who were in- volved in the pool could be found loudly debating the upcoming series or jokingly in- sulting the poor guy at the bottom of the pool with two points after the semi-finals. Besides providing good conversation and an opportunity to harass co-workers, the hockey pool made the playoffs more in- teresting. I normally follow the playoffs, but I found myself doing so in more depth. In- stead of watching the game and hoping for a team in each series to win, I was watching for my players and yelling at my television whenever my players had the puck in their opponent's end. Taking part in the hockey pool was fun, but I don't think I could handle finishing third from the bottom two years in a row.

(Anne Narejko photos) Atoms capture_ championship Last Thursday night at the Clinton Com- munity Centre the Clinton Atoms captured the W.O.A.A. "CC" Championship by winn- ing the fifth and deciding game 4 - 3. It was one of the most thrill -packed action. games you would want to see. The noisy crowd , kept the spirits of both teams up throughout the entire contest. Clinton's high scoring centre, Shaun Chip - chase, as he has done so many times before this season, once again spear -headed the Atom attack by scoring a hat -trick. Scott Jewitt, Clinton's fine rushing defenceman scored the other goal. In the first period Clinton wasted little time as they came out flyingfrom the open- ing face-off. At the 28 second mark a super pass from Darrell Levis to Shaun Chipchase gave Clinton a 1 0 lead. Before the fans could quit their cheering on the first goal, Shawn Chipchase took the face-off arid took one stride over the Durham blueline and blasted a hard wrist shot which seemed to catch the Durham goalie by surprise. The unassisted goal at the 35 second mark gave Clinton a quick 2 - 0 advantage. But Durham, who were not going to roll over and play dead that • easily struck back very quickly. At the 54 second mark and before the game was even one minute old narrowed ' Clinton's;lead to 2 -1. Before the first period had ended Scott Jewitt's goal gave Clinton•a 3-1at7:11. '' In the second period the teams battled on even terms with both teams checking well. Clinton scored the only goal of the period when at 6:45 Scott Jewitt and, Shaun Chip - chase combined on a two on one rush with Chipchase scoring his third goal of the game to give Clinton a comfortable 4 -1 lead after two periods. That lead was short-lived as Durham came out flying in the third period. Clinton fell into a defensive shell to protect their. three goal lead and it almost backfired. Goals at the 4:26 and 9:16 mark by Durham narrowed Clinton's lead to 4 - 3. From there, Clinton hung on to preserve their champion- ship victory. At the end of the game the president of the W.O.A.A., Ross Jewitt presented the cham- pionship'trophy to captain. Scott Jewitt and assistant captains Shaun Chipchase and Jason Carter.
