skin the
Mavericks
By Fraser Strong
George Skinn and Ross
Davies registered four points
each in an oldtimers' hockey
game in Walkerton last
Saturday evening as the
Wingham Rockers rolled to
their most impressive vic-
tory of the season in a 9-1
triumph over Walkerton.
Seven other players made
their marks on the
scoresheet in a contest in
which Wingham came out
flying and simply bowled
over the opposition from the
first to the last whistle.
Wingham's number three,
Jim' English, added his own
style of body "English" to
the game as he continually
stormed the beleaguered
Maverick netminder.
This game was a good
tune-up for the Rockers'
final tournament of the
season this weekend in
Kincardine. Coach Doug Neil
was reportedly pleased with
everyone's performance and
hopes the strong showing
carries into this final'
weekend.

dishly to keep play in the
Oshawa end. After several
.good chances, Follis potted
the rebound of a shot by Kuhl
to give Owen Sound the lead
for the third time.
Even so the game went
right down to the wire, with
the outcome in doubt until,
with 1:57 remaining, Follis
added an insurance goal
from a sharp angle and, with
just seconds left on the clock,
scored his third of the night
into an empty Oshawa net.

nascent.
The final score in the game
was 6-3 but, as in the case of
the 'AAA° title match which
preceded it, the margin was
deceptive.. The score was
tied 3-3 early in the final
period before two goals by

scored while his towas
shorthanded, gave Kin-
cardine a 5-3 lead. Mark
McBride made it 6-3 with a
power -play goal in the final
two minutes.

scoring for Listowel on a
two -on -one break in the first
period, using his winger as a
decoy and finding an
opening. Kincardine tied the
score when Caleb Howald's
shot from a very sharp angle
caught the goaltender out of
position, but Listowel re-
stored the lead when
Crumrner found the puck
lying in front of the net, spun
around and fired it home.
Kincardine came. back
early in the second with Todd
Miller, 'B' division MVP,
making no mistake after he
was set up in front of the
goaltender. Mark Stadig
then gave Kincardine the
lead for the first time,
scoring on a nice backhander
from right on the doorstep.
Crummer scored his
second goal of the game to
bring Listowel back onto
even terms in the opening
1 minute of the final period.
' From then on, however, it
was all Kincardine. With
- Listowel on a power play,
Burton stole the puck at the
blueline and raced in to
score, later adding another
shorthanded goal, also
unassisted, to make it 5-3.
McBride's goal on a power
play in the final two minutes
made the final count 6-3.

Windsor 3,
N. York 2
Earlier, in the evening
Windsor's Club 240 edged
North York Civics 3-2 in the
consolation final of the 'AAA'
division. This was an evenly -
matched defensive battle
with the Windsor club, which
had established itself as a
local favorite by playing an
exhibition game against the
Wingham Lions Midgets the
previous evening, emerging,
victorious.
Windsor jumped in front 1-
0 five and a half minutes into
the game, Mike Lynch
scoring from a scramble in
front of the net. North York
came back to tie on Geoff
Smith's slapshot from the
right circle with just over
three minutes` left.
The second period was
scoreless. The Civics ap-
peared to take the lead with
about five minutes on the
clock, but the goal was
disallowed due to a penalty.
With just over a minute
gone in the third period,
Lynch struck again to give
Windsor a 2-1 lead, which
was raised to 3-1 when Taso
Mouhteros stole the puck at
centre ice and raced in to
beat the North York
goaltender near the midway
point of the period.
With time running oqt and
the net empty, North York
scored to make it 3-2 but ran
out of time before it could try
for the equalizer.
Listowel 5,
.' Goderich 4
In playdowns in the 'B'
division Sunday afternoon,
Listowel edged Goderich 5-4
in a hard-fought battle to win
as ace in the championship
Dennis McNichol tallied
twice for Listowel and
goaltender Greg McClement
played a strong , game,
especially in the closing
seconds when he made an
amazing save on a shot by
Scott Garrow to preserve the
victory.
Tom Bean scored twice for
Goderich, which fought back
to tie the game after falling
behind in the first period.
Kincardine 7,
Port Elgin 2
The Kincardine Midgets
pounded a listless Port Elgin
squad in the other match
leading to the 'B' cham-
pionship final. Port Elgin
had scored 13 goals against a
'B' team from London the
previous weekend but
showed few signs of offence
against Kincardine.
Greg Farrell and Sean
Burton each scored two
goals for the winners, who
led 2-0 after the first period
and 7-2 after the second.
Both teams just went
through the motions in the
scoreless third.
Daryl Price had both goals
for Port Elgin, which hurt
itself by taking 32 minutes in
penalties to 24 for Kin-
cardine.

chippy Keswick squad 4.1

ed opponent, Woodbridge.

early in the second overtime
period to give the local boys
the narrow victory. Bill
McGrath, played a solid
game in net for Wingham.
Wingham faced another
strong club in its next match -
up: Schomberg. The Schom-
berg team jumped into an
early one -goal lead, but
Wingham fought back to
take a 3-1 lead into the sec-
ond period. Schomberg was
not be daunted as it scored
late in the second to close the
gap.
Schomberg poured on the
steam and tied the game at
three -all early in the third
period, but Wingham scored„
the go-ahead goal midway.,.,
through the final frame to
earn the win.
Offensively and defen-
sively every Wingham
player gave a solid effort.

net and was called upon to
make several key saves.

with a pair of goals, while
singles went to McKee and
MacKay. Assists were
earned by David McKee with
two and Michie, Jeff McKee,

of the game and never looked
back, leading 2-0 at the end
of one period and doubling
the count to 4-0 after two
frames. Keswick scored its
only goal of the match late in
the third ,period, but
Wingham was in charge and
earned the win to send the
Legion squad into the
championship game against
Caledon.
This was Wingham's third
game of the day and the boys
appeared, tired, Caledon had
a. cemmariding ,thre goal:
lead after one period and the
score remained that way
until late in the third when
Michie scoredan unassisted
goal for Wingham for the 3-1,
final. A tired, but proud'
Wingham team, accepted a
beautiful plaque for being
runners-up. Wingham Coach
