Strathroy Oldtimers here for exhibition The Goderich Oldtimers will be hosting the Strathroy OldTimers in the Goderich Arena Friday night for a special exhibition game to raise some money for the arena roof fund. The Old- timers will be displaying the efforts and talents that earned them a gold medal in the recent international tournament in Switzerland. The game may just be the last opportunity for fans in Goderich to see the 1977 version of the Oldtimers here. Over the summer months some of the players may change plans�/, for next winter and for af►y number of, reasons not go out for Old- timer hockey. Oldtimer coach Ted Williams is banking that all his players will return 'next year but adds that the future could make it im- possible for the gold medal team to play again as a whole. Strathroy was not the ideal choice for Goderich but was the only club available on such short notice. The op- position play in Class A oldtimer action and have an excellent record, this season. Due to the lack of time and the fact that many other clubs have hung up the blades for the year made it impossible for Goderich to line up another D club. The level a team plays at in FRAME SALE 20 0 ALL STOCK FRAMES AND CUSTOM ORDERS LIMITED TIME ONLY OFF ERIC CARMAN PHOTO (HURON CAMERA CENTRE) 114 THE SQUARE, GODERICH 3247924 Oldtimer hockey is based on the age of the players, the level of,, Ontario Hockey Association play they last~ competed in and the length of time they have been away from OHA hockey. Williams is confident tans out for the game will be treated to a game of hockey played in the style fondly remembered by purists. Gone are the crushing bone checks and blistering slapshots that many feel are the demise of the game. In their place are skating. passing, stick checking and wrist shots. egg Going into the final night of regular action there was a strong possibility of ' two three-way ties. Only one tie, however, did occur. DRMCo Plant recorded its eighth - triumph in a row defeating Victoria and Grey_6 - 4 in a close and well played- match. The Teacher No: 2 team edged DRMCo by one point in the for and against calculation required in the three-way percentage tie. The DRMCo team of Jack Kellough, Glen Falkiner, Charlie Crawford and Tom Profit have been the Cin- derella team of the season coming from last place midway through the year to a tie for second and defeating first place Assessment Office twice in their climb. The V & G team led by Hugh Dogger. -will get a chance to avenge their loss in the first week of playoffs. A second three-way tie was avoided as fifth place Financial Office handed the Teacher No 3 Team its fifth ti straight loss 11 .- 5. A five - ender in the third end put the team of Larry / McGrath, Penny McGrath, Elev. Doll and Louise Doggett into comfortable control of the game. In the fifth end, however, the excellent. curling of biane Cloet and Diane Verhoef gave the teachers a chance for a comeback by putting five rocks in the house with only one McGrath rock left to play. Unfortunately for the teachers, the final shot at McGrath's was a perfect freeze and 'the end produced only one point for the teachers - an all too familiar story. The headline story of the week happened in the third. game between first -place Assessment Office and last place _-Kinsmen Team. A spirited group at Kinsmen made a most enjoyable evening more so for them- selves by upsetting the powerful. Assessment men 9 - 8 in a super game. The Kinsmen team of Glen Machan, Ray Cook, Arnie Parker and Skip Dave Cloet curled collectively their best game of the season taking an apparently safe 7-4 lead by the sixth end. The Assessment team, however, showed their skill in the seventh, by capturing a four ender and taking the lead by one. The Kinsmen team, displaying a surprising confidence, went right to work in the eighth and in- spired by a tremendous. shot by Dawe Cloet scored two to Industrial League Team W Assessment Office 1S Victoria and Grey_ .. -10 DRMC,O.Phaif 10 feather No. 2 10 Financial Office 8 DRMCO Office 7 Teacher No. 3 6 Kinsmen Club 4 Playoffs: March 31: 1-4; 2-3; April 4: Winners record theirbj' the year.
