The Goderich Signal-Star, 1978-12-21, Page 18PAGE 18—GODERICH SIGNAL -STAR, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1978 Sportsp Suns impressivein 5-O win The Goderich Atoms regained the title "Super Suns" by shutting out Hanover by a 5-0 score Sunday. Coach Dennis Williamson was pleased with the effort by the whole team. The Suns scored twice in the first period, the first when Todd Gilchrist passed from the corner to Dave Telford who picked the top corner neatly. The Suns' second goal came on a passing play from Scott Garrow and Davey Jewell to A member of the Goderich Suncoast Atoms was foiled on this scoring attempt in a game against Hanover Sunday but although the Hanover goalie stopped the initial shot a Suns player followed up to knock in the rebound. The suns increased their league lead in the WOAA with a 5-0 win over Hanover. (photo by Dave Sykes) Ronnie ` Chapman who ked it behind the Hanover goalie. Hanover held firm against strong pressure in the second period, as Goderich had several opportunities to score. The third period let- down that has caused the Suns' problems for the early part of the season did not materialize on Sunday. Strong checking by the forwards and good puck control by the defence kept them out of trouble. Steve Schutz was the first to find the mark in the third period as he picked up a pass from Kevin Telford and found the open corner. Todd Jeffery was the fourth Goderich marksman, scoring on an unassisted rush that left several Hanover defenders in his wake. The final Goderich goal was scored by Steve Schutz who picked up the puck on a good poke check and stickha.nded past a weary Hanover defence to finish the Suns' scoring. Credit must be given to goalies Jay Williamson and Jeff Scott who each made several good saves in earning the shutout and discouraging the Hanover attackers. Chris Sideris, Todd .Jeffery, Kevin Telford and Kelly Allin returned to their best form on defence, keeping Hanover for- wards busy in front of the Goderich net and playing the blueline effectively in the Suns' attack. The Suns are off to Walkerton on Saturday, for what the coach calls the most important game of the season. A win in Walkerton could give the Suns a solid grip on first place and put pressure on Mount Forest, their strongest competition, to play winning hockey for the rest of the season.
