Goderich took an early one -goal lead with Greg Hallam scoring on an unassisted effort after just 18 seconds of play. Strathroy tied the score with Todd Jewell scoring at 56 seconds but Goderich got goals from Roger Lewis and Steve Lobb in a 30 second span to hold a two -goal bulge after the first period. Goderich increased that lead to 4-1 early in the second period with John Clement scoring from linemates Lobb and Terry Shoemaker. But while Goderich put the puck everywhere but in the net Strathroy got back in the game with a pair of goals by Fred Nidolas. Goderich finally regained a two -goal margin late in the second period on Clement's second goal • after Don Elliott made a fine play to keep the puck in the of- fensive zone. Larry Daer and Shoemaker added third period goals for the Stars. Brian Shewfelt and Mike reynolds shared the netminding duties for the Stars.

The victory gives the Lions a record of one victory and one tie in pre -season play. The I.ions will face the biggest challenge of their pre -season schedule this Saturday at 5:30 p.m. when they take on the Stratford Minor Pe`e Wees at the Goderich and District Community Centre. Here last Saturday, the Lions skated through a scoreless first period with Winghani, but took the lead with two- unan- swered goals in the second period. Ken Huff got the first Goderich goal, finishing off a passing play with Todd Graham and Trevor Martin. Trevor Erb scored the Lions' second goal, assisted by linemates Rob Gibbons and Grant Garrow. Billy Cameron put Wingham back in the game when he beat Rob Dunn in the Lions' net with a close -in shot just before the midway point of the final period. However, that seemed to inspire the Lions to greater effort, and they put together an offensive thrust that netted them three goals before the end of the game. Rob Gibbons scored on an unassisted effort and then Brent Williamson scored the prettiest goal of the night, taking a perfect. 'pass from Ken Huff from the right boards, and beating Greg Moore on the short side. Todd Graham received the second assist on the play. The Lions' final. tally came off the stick of Todd Graham when hr.: went in all alone to deke the Wingham goaltender after being started away with a pass from Shawn Rahbek. Overall, the game was an entertaining one, and it appears as thought the Lions Pee Wees will provide some fine hockey for their fans this season.
