Goderich wasted no time as Angie Chisholm feed the puck to Vicky Van- derburgh for the first goal of the game with only 1:34 gone on the clock. With the attackers still pressing, Chisholm picked up her second assist of the evening when Allison Graham slide the ring past Seaforth's goaltender, Kelly Calver. Seaforth applied some pressure of their own which resulted in Denise Morey's goal, and brought them only one goal behind Goderich. Stacey Rean answered the Seaforth goal with one for Goderich, regaining her team's two goal edge. However, 19 seconds later, Morey scored her second goal to keep her team in contention. The score once again see -sawed with Lisa Kish scoring for Goderich and Morey, with her third goal, scoring for Seaforth. Angie Alcock changed the momentum of the game when she netted two in a row with both assists going to Stacey Rean. It was Seaforth who had the last say in the first period as Jan Vandenberk scored, closing the period with a score of 6-4 in favour of Goderich. Seaforth came out in the second period with the intent of taking over the lead as Morey scored.her fourth of the night. Lisa Kish, however, had a different strategy as she put one in Seaforth's net followed by teammate Vanderburgh's goal. Allison Graham scored minutes later to give Goderich a 9-5 lead. The three quick goals by the Goderich players did not discourage Seaforth as they netted two more before the game was over, but still were defeated 9-7.

Only three Goderich players added points to their season records as Debbie O'Brien scored five goals, Tammy Talbot netted two and picked up one assist, and Debbie Habel earned one assist. Listowel jumped outto a quick two goal lead, scoring both goals within two minutes. Trisha Rumig and Debbie O'Brien connected a few minutes later to bring Goderich within one goal of their opponents. Listowel responed with two more goals but Goderich's O'Brien netted an unassisted goal and then followed it with another goal after receiving a pass from Debbie Habel. Onlyight seconds elapsed before Listowel found two openings behind Goderich netminder Marianne Glazer, making the score 6-3 for Listowel. O'Brien and Tammy Talbot combined to give O'Brien her fourth of the evening as well as give her team some inspiration. Listowel was not about to let Goderich close the gap as they took the play to the other end and added two more to their side of the scoreboard. Talbot cored one for Goderich before the period was over, but Listowel netted two more, closing the period with a 10-5 lead. Goderich came out fighting in the second period holding Listowel scoreless until they scored one themselves. Talbot scored another unassisted goal, giving her two goals and one assist. Listowel soon smothered any hopes of a come back for Goderich when they scored four goals in a four minute span. O'Brien still had some hope left in her as she netted one more for Goderich before the game was over. Trying to centre the puck is Stacey Rean as she looks for an open player. Goderich managed to beat the Seaforth senior team 9-7 Sunday in Goderich.

Local groups don't want video games in arena BY ANNE NAREJKO Despite being offered 50 per cent of the intake, Goderich organizations do not want video games in the arena, according to a report presented to the Goderich Recreation Board by the Agriculture Park Complex Sub -Committee last Thursday. During the October Recreation Board meeting, Maurice Gardiner, owner of Gardiner Video Games, suggested that a machine be placed in the arena on a trial basis. If any problems were to occur, he would remove the machine immediately. The Agriculture Park Sub -Committee asked representatives of various groups what they thought the of video games placed in the arena lobby. The four groups represented were opposed. The representatives for Young Canada Week were against the installation because it may cause congestion in the lobby. They were also concerned about crowd control. The Figure Skating Club was against the proposal because they are afraid it will distract the skaters as well as make the boys who take figure skating more self-conscious with the extra people watching. Minor Hockey was not in favour of having the games in the arena for two reasons. They have seen them in other arenas and feel that they are unattractive, and, they feel that the children spend enough money at the arena already. Ringette was opposed to the video games for the same reasons as the other groups. bantams advance to next round in Cli BY CB On Wednesday evening the Goderich (Elevator) Bantams challenged Strathroy for the third time this season and lost again. It was thought that the locals would have fared better this time because it was the first game on home ice against their rival. However, Strathroy seemed to dominate every period. The first goal credited to Strathroy was actually put in by a Goderich player as he tried to clear the puck in front of his own net. nton tourney Strathroy added two more goals in the second period before Goderich scored their first. Tom Bean scored for Goderich assisted by Byron Bowman and Scott Garrow. In the third period Strathroy added one more while Goderich just couldn't organize a strong attack. One thing the boys should be credited with though is the fact that they reduced their penalty minutes to only eight. The Bantams also participated in a Bantam Tournament in Clinton on the weekend. On Friday evening they played a team from Preston winning by a score of 8 - 4. Scott Garrow picked up three goals and three assists, Larry Leppington two goals, Shawn Larder two goals, and Mark Burbine with one goal and one assist. Single assists also went to Dave Duncan, Brian Chambers, Tom Bean and Byron Bowman. Because of their win, the boys played their second game on Sunday morning against Petrolia and were victorious again by a score of 3 - 1. Watching part of the game on Saturday between Petrolia and Woodstock, many fans didn't feel the Goderich team would fare too well against either team. To their pleasant surprise the boys gave an all- out effort in every period, their aggressive forechecking and hard hitting disorganized the Petrolia team. At the beginning the fans thought their fears were 'justified as Petrolia scored in just a little more than five minutes into the first period. However, that was also their last goal. The Goderich team kept pressing, and at the 6:27 mark of the second period, Scott Garrow scored his first goal on a pass from Byron Bowman. Twenty seconds later Scott scored his second goal unassisted. Darrell Durnin popped in Goderich's third goal when the Petrolia goalie failed to clear the puck after making the initial stop, giving the Goderich team three goals in 28 seconds and certainly a major achievement. In the third period Petrolia came out determined to even things up but the Goderich boys refused to give an inch. When asked for a comment after the game, coach Wilkinson replied that he had told the boys while in the dressing room about discipline on defence. "Defence is dull,' 'borin'g, and com- monplace. It is the unimaginative plodding attention to duty. It is grit and deter- mination. There is never a day that discipline on defence can't be used. All you need is the decision to put out, to give 100 percent. What defence discloses is character, effort and energy, are a matter of will. Today our defence showed the pride it takes to win." He further stated he was pleased with the performance of the team as a whole and that Jay Williamson came up with some key saves in goal when called upon to do so. The tournament continues next weekend when the locals take on St. Clair Beach at 3 p.m. Saturday, December 3 . Seconds 'have 4-Orecord On November 7, the Goderich Bantam Seconds played their first regular season game in Blyth. The boys played a strong aggressive game and came up with a real team effort for a 5 - 2 win. Goal scorers for Goderich were Mike Creamer with two, single goals by John Strickland, Bob Allen, and Mark Cauchi. Assists went to Gary Erb with three, and single assists by Bill Whetstone, John Strickland, Mike Beange and Jim Kelly. On November 12, the Goderich Bantam Seconds played Wingham Seconds and won their second game of the season by a score of 6 - 1. The Goderich boys out -hustled the Wingham team during most of the game, although Rob Middel and Tom Durnin had to come up with some pretty good plays to stop Wingham from adding to their total. Goal scorers for Goderich were Gary Erb and Bob Allen with two, while singles went to David Brown and John Strickland. Assists were by Mike Creamer and Mike Beange with two and singles by Mark Cauchi, Gary Erb, Bob Allen and Steve Armstrong. On November 16, the Goderich Bantam Seconds played their third game of the season and first at home when they hosted the Listowel Seconds. Goderich lit up the scoreboard quickly when Darren Stanbury scored 2:16 into the game. Listowel played a solid game and had numerous opportunities to score as Goderich started adding up the penalty minutes. However, Mark Cauchi helped the Goderich teams cause as he scored two shorthanded goals. At the end of one period the score was 3 -1 for Goderich. Mark Cauchi scored his third goal of the game 40 seconds into the second period and then Goderich continued to exert pressure for the remainder of the second period which ended 5 - 2 in favour of the locals. In the third, Goderich again started the scoring but Listowel scored the final two goals as the locals started running around in their own end, making mistakes. The final score was 7 - 4 for Goderich. Goal scorers for Goderich were Mark Cauchi with four goals, Darren Stanbury one goal, Gary Erb one goal, three assists, Mike Beange one goal. Single assists went to Mike Creamer, Steve Armstrong, Bob Allen and Steve Johnston. On November 26, the Goderich Bantam Seconds travelled to Parkhill to play an exhibition game against their Second team. Although the Goderich team won 7 - 2 it was a lackluster effort until halfway through the third period when the locals started playing together. Goal scorers for Goderich were Mike Beange with three goals, Mark Cauchi, Gary Erb, John Strickland and Bob Allen. Assists went to Mark Cauchi three, Mike Creamer three, Ryan Kelly two with singles going to Gary Erb, Steve Armstrong, Bob Allen, John Strickland and Jim Kelly. The locals have now won four in a row and they return to regular league play on November 30 when they host Blyth here at 8:15 p.m. Peewees split games In games played at the local arena last week, the Goderich Lions Pee Wees were defeated by St. Marys on Wednesday, and on Saturday they defeated Exeter. Against St. Marys a disastrous first seven minutes of play saw the visitors tally six times and then go on for an 8 - 2 win. The Lions regrouped after the bad first period and then had strong second and third periods to make the game from getting out of hand. Tim Harrison and Brian Lane had a goal and an assist each for the locals while Andre Cauchi and Jason Pearson had an assist each to account for the Lions point getters. On Saturday, the Lions put three strong periods together tor the ttrst time in awhile and as a result they defeated visiting Exeter in all departments enroute to a 6 -1 win. The goaltending of Pat Donnelly and strong skating of the defencemen complemented the good backchecking from the forwards to keep the opposition to just one goal. The point getters in this game were, Tim Harrison and George Sideris a goal and assist each; Andre Cauchi and Jason Creamer with two assists eaeh; single goals were tallied by Gr .: g DeWinter, Brian Lane, Jeff Hodg ,. and Chris O'Neill. The Lions will las looking for more points this weekend when they play in Parkhill Friday and then Saturday against Ilderton. 4
