Goderich scored first as Garrow netted his first five minutes into the game after taking a pass from Richard Boddy. But the Midgets fell into their old habit of, taking too many penalties as /Hanover scored five powerplay goals. After Garrow's goal they scored tw,e on the powerplay before Tom Bean tied the game on a pass from Jim Beattie. However, Hanover came back, scoring three goals to end the second period. Goderich mounted their comeback when Garrow scored thirty-three seconds into the period to make it 5-3. Mark Cauchi received the assist. unfortunately Goderich took a five-minute penalty late in the game to end any hope of a comeback as Hanover scored twice more to round out the scoring.

For the second game in a row the team Atom Bs win two ,games GODERICH MINOR HOCKEY REPORT came out flying and ready to play hockey. Their hard work paid off as the one-sided score indicates when for the second con- secutive game they reached double figures.

The Midgets responded by scoring two more to make it 7-1 at the end of the second period.

Erb led the tal- ly in assists with three and others went to Kelly 2, Beattie 2, and one each to Nurse, • Cauchi, Brian Chambers, Dave Duncan, and MacKinnon. What is not shown by these lists of of- fence is that superb play by the goaltenders and defence. Gord Maclnnis played the first and third. games and Jay Williamson played the second. Both made big saves when they were needed and played excellent as they did all season. The team wishes„to thank the coaches, Kevih Austin, Bob Mommersteeg and Ron Durnin for their time and work that they gave. It was a fairly good season as the team almost finished at the .500 mark. Their final tally was 13 wins, 16 losses and two ties. Next year the team will relative- ly be the same and will be eager to bring home more championships.
