It was sweet revenge following the Ironmen's loss to the Mustangs earlier this month by a lopsided 7-2 t score. Kevin Coultes, with two goals and two assists, and Rob Willis, with two goals, helped pace the Ironmen to the win. The Ironmen started fast, making their own luck, with the bounce of the puck coming their way. Paul Robinson opened the scoring. Skating down left wing, he zeroed in on the goal, maneuvering around a defender and deking the netminder to the ice before dumping the puck into the vacated net. The Mustangs tied the score just over a minute later as Randy Marriage beat Schistad on a shot from the goalmouth that eluded the glove of the Wingham netminder. Coultes restored the lead, converting a Jeff Espansen pass at the goalmouth behind Chris Ladd. Steve Nicholson made it 3-1 as Tim Brown dumped the puck out of his own zone. Schistad outlegged a defender and drilled a shot which Ladd blocked. The rebound ended up on Nicholson's stick and he fired it home. Rob Willis upped the lead as he kept a Mustang clearing attempt inside the line. His poinVshot found the mesh behind Ladd, making it 4-1. Rick Scrimgeour scored a shorthanded goal, drilling one from the right face-off circle and beating Ladd high over the glove side shoulder. Dave Montgomery had lady luck on his side as his shot from 30 feet out hit a defender's stick, flew 30 feet above the ice, dropped in front of the Clinton goal and bounced past the surprised netminder. Marriage potted his second goal with just under a minute left, making it 6-2 for the Ironmen after the opening frame. The Ironmen outscored their opponents 3-2 in the second period to build a 9-4 lead, with Cameron, Coultes and Paul Irwin connecting for the home side while Brad Armstrong and Jamie Mahler responded for the visitors. The final stanza saw the two clubs exchange goals, with Willis rounding out the Ironmen offensive effort while Dean Armstrong answered for the Mustangs. The Ironmen will take on the Bears at Port Elgin Friday night, then return home to host the Walkerton Black Hawks Sunday af- ternoon at 2:30. A $36 prize was won in the 50-50 draw. SCHISTAD SPARKLES IN LOSS TO HANOVER The Hanover Barons remained undefeated with a record of 12 wins in as many starts on the OHA Junior C circuit following a decisive 2- 0 victory on home ice Friday night. It was a convincing win despite the heroics of Wingham netminder Rob Schistad. He was brilliant in goal, keeping his teammates in the game despite a lop- sided edge in shots on goal and territorial possession by the Barons. Schistad was superb in making 38 saves on 40 shots, an effort which would have been enough to give the Ironmen a win against any other club in the league. However the Wingham of- fence suffered from a smothering "Baron defence which allowed them but 16 shots throughout the contest, few of which were serious scoring threats. The Ironmen had less than a small handful of scoring drives. Brett Cameron was stymied at the goalmouth as Scott White blocked a back- hand shot when Cameron broke in alone. Another breakaway was nullified when Tim Brown lost his footing at the Baron blueline with two defenders in pur- suit. After a scoreless first period, the Barons took the lead on a wicked shot by Paul Nixon from the left face-off circle, Schistad having no chance on the drive. The Barons made it 2-0 with less than eight minutes remaining in the game on a blast from just inside the blueline. Schistad partially smothered the drive with his pads, but the puck escaped and dribbled into the net behind him. Kinsmen Bantams go two -for -two at tourney The Wingham Kinsmen Bantams traveled to Sutton last weekend to take part in the "Mr. Ed” Tournament. Through hard work and determination the local lads went two for two, defeating Uxbridge and. Oshawa. Wingham met the Ux- bridge Bantam team last Saturday evening in their best game of the season thus far. There was excellent end- to-end play and full team participation on both sides. A good example of this participation occurred when Wingham goalie Murray Foxton earned his first assist of the season on Corey McKee's goal in the second period. It was an action -packed game that saw Bill Kinahan tie the score with 16 seconds left in the third on a pass from Dave Heinmiller. At the end of the first overtime period, the score was still 4- 4, but in the second overtime period, tournament' rules called for the removal of both goalies. Each team skated full force to successfully keep the puck out of their respective ends. However with 52 seconds left and a Wingham player in the penalty box, Paul Brophy scored unassisted for Wingham to win the game. Legion Peewees play well at tourney The Wingham Legion Pee- Wees traveled to Norwich last weekend to compete in a tournament. Although the boys did not come home with the silverware, they played three excellent games of hockey and thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The boys finished the tournament as runners-up on the con- solation side. WAINFLEET 3, WINGHAM 3 Last Friday evening, the Legion team met with a very determined Wainfleet club. Both teams played a very exciting brand of hockey. At the end of regulation time the score was tied at three -all and the game went into overtime. Wingham had a few good scoring chances, . but just could not put it past the Wainfleet goaltender. A second period of overtime was necessary and both teams failed to score again. In the end 'the game was ' awarded to Wainfleet on shots -on -goal, moving the locals to the consolation side against Lambeth. Coach Bill Brown said he felt the Wingham boys played an excellent game and should be proud of their efforts. Goal scorers were Scott Neil, Rob MacKay and David McKee with assists going to Jeff McKee with two and Rob Harrison, MacKay and Mike Elmslie with singles Jeff McKee was voted the most valuable player on the Wingham team. Bill McGrath came into the game with only two minutes left as Andrew Mann had been injured. Both goalies played very well. WINGHAM 2, LAMBETH 1 Wingham certainly was up for this game and came out skating hard. Lambeth scored the first goal of the game, but Jeff McKee tied the .score mid- way through the first period, assisted by Neil. McKee scored again in the second, assisted by MacKay. There was no scoring for the remainder of the game. The fans certainly were treated to a fine exhibition of hockey as both teams had opportunities to score but were shut down by excellent goaltending. McGrath won the most valuable player title for the Wingham squad. Steve Michie was injured later in the game but was back at the blueline Sunday working as hard as ever. Congratulations Steve, your example as a captain is encouraging for the rest of the team. PORT DOVER 3, WINGHAM 0 Both teams once again played excellent hockey. Trainer Rudy Bloemberg said he felt they gave it all they had and were beaten by a superior team. The local lads would certainly like another crack at Port Dover and said they felt theyycould possibly turn the score around if given the . chance. All of the boys and the coaches deserve a great deal of credit for the fine effort they put forth. They represented the Wingham Minor Hockey Association . well. Goaltending duties in the final game of the tournament were shared by Mann and McGrath. David McKee was named Wingham's most valuable player. Foxton earned the most valuable player distinction for his outstanding play in. the Wingham nets. McKee scored three of the Wingham markers, while Kinahan and Brophy added singles. Assists went to Chris Michie with two, Brett Martin, Heinmiller, i{i'naliah and Foxton with singles. Both teams shook hands and congratulated each other on a superb game which drew a number of spectators back to the arena. Sunday's match was a far different story. It was one of the roughest the team ever has played, however, in the face of much physical abuse and unsportsmanlike con- duct, the Wingham team members kept their cool and continued to play hockey for the fans, giving them a 2-0 win over Oshawa. Brophy scored, assisted by Terry Daer and Rick Leach- man, and Martin added Wingham's second goal, assisted by McKee and Kinahan. Foxton again was named most valuable player as he continued his top-notch play in the Wingham goal. The entire, team is to be congratulated for its ex- cellent play and wished good luck in the championship game against Beaverton this Sunday. After a break for examinations, the team resumes regular play against Seaforth" this Tuesday. 1 raggfaaraaaaatahiaa.
