The two teams battled their way to an 8-8 tie. "Serious" hockey was played in the first two periods with lots of antics in the third. • Between the second and third period, a goalie stick autographed by the CKNX Try Hards was presented to Shawn Thomson of Goderich. Shawn has cerebral palsy and his dad Stewart was playing for the Kin- smen side. Fallowing the game, a dance was held. All proceeds from both game and dance will go toward the purchase of a new sound system for the Goderich arena. lub When things. got rough in the benefit hockey game between the CKNX Try Hards and the Goderich Kinsmen Club here Saturday ,night, the Try Hards were forced to remove one of their "injured" players by stretcher. Rumour has it that he wasn't hurt at all but simply wanted a rest.

Hospital team down from their pedestal. Gerry Riley was a powerful part of this triumph. Riley's performance dominated the ice and caused his upstaged teammates to acknowledge his crucial contribution to their victory. Nevertheless, they refused to buy him a beer!

Anne Duncan and Scott Collins produced some fine shots for the victors while Don Budnark, fresh from a "dream" trip to the sunny south, was sharp for the unlucky Elementary Teachers. The Viking's partners in education, the GDCI Teacher Number 1 foursome also had fate on their side as they collected their second win of the season by edging the Sifto Evaporation 9 to 6. A five ender in the fifth end was the margin of victory for the teachers. Outstanding efforts by Joanne Lucas and Bill Worsell allowed that big end and their many other fine shots set up numerous opportunities in other ends.

Game time is 4 p.m. Students learn to curl You would think that an 80 pound 12 - year -old would have difficulty throwing a 45 pound curling stone, wouldn't you? Well, this is the task faced by a number of Grade 7 and 8 students who are taking part in the Maitland Curling Club's Junior Curling Porgram this winter. And, after just three days of instruction on Wed- nesdays after school, most of the kids are delivering the big curling rocks down the ice like they have been doing it for years. The Grade 7 and 8 instructional clinic was the brainchild of Lynn Todgham who. convinced the Maitland Country Club's directors that money should be.provided to . get young students interested in the game. For several years now, high school curling has been organized and 'coached by teacher Doug Bundy, but this year, with the help of other Curl -Canada instructors, Marty Bond, Joanne Lucas, Don Durst and Scott Collins, he has taken on the ad- ditional task of working with the young kids. About 30 students from Robertson and St. Marys schools all started out as novices • but have progressed to the point where they are delivering rocks with the proper technique, making shots and sweeping. "It's great tohave their enthusiasm," says Coach Bundy, "and its amazing to see how quickly they have caught on in a few short weeks." "Now" we need' ,some, adult -curlers-- to come down on Wednesdays from 4 to 6 p.m. who can skip a team of these kids so they can get some practice in an actual game situation." Just after Christmas, the newcurlers will get a real taste of curling competition, because a Boxing Day Jitney is planned for December 27. Student curlers from the public and high school, along with parents who curl, will be able to enter the day -long jitney. The Maitland Country Club is providing the curling ice virtually free of charge, with the students paying only a small fee, and brooms and sliders are supplied. . "It's a great sport, and one they will be able to play for years to come," says Bundy. "With the start they are getting, we should have some very competitive curlers in a few years." Curl -Canada instructor Joanne Lucas gives Julie Scott some pointers.
