The Wingham Advance-Times, 1985-11-27, Page 14Page 14 --The Wingham Advance -Times, Nov. 27. 1985 Second -period deluge sinks Wingham Royals The first period was even and the Royals won the third period, but a let -down in the middle frame sent Wingham down to a 10.4 defeat at the hands of the) Kincardine Kings in intermediate hockey at the Wingham arena Friday night. The Kings scored seven unanswered goals in that period to continue their unbeaten streak and run the Royals' losing string to three games. Except for that period, however, the Royals played surprisingly well, con- sidering they were missing half a dozen, regulars to injury or absence. Despite their injury - riddled line-up, resulting in new line combinations in virtually every game — and sometimes every period — they played the boisterous and strong -skating Kings to a 1-1 draw in the first period and outscored them 3-2 in the third. The first period was one of the best played at the Wingham arena this year, with both teams skating well and going end-to-end. The Kings opened the scoring just past the midwaytamark of the period, Ed Young banging in a rebound for a power play goal. Mike Pletch, who again started in the Royals' goal, had no chance on the.shot — or on many of the other goals the Kings would score that night. Dave Golley evened the count on a Wingham power play five minutes later as he was nicely set up by Kevin Carter and took his time before firing the puck past Ron Martin in the Kin- cardine net. In the second period, however, the roof fell in. A knee injury to Golley, when he was taken into the boards, resulted in same line - juggling and while the Royals were trying to get things sorted out the Kings cashed in with seven goals. Derrick Burrows, who together with brother Dennis gave the Royals fits all night, scored three times in the period, starting with a power -play goal at 1:50. Scott Alcomebrack, Dennis Burrows, Dave Fair and Larry Wilson, with a short- handed goal, also scored in the period which ended with the Kings ahead by an 8-1 margin. • With the game clearly out of reach, the Royalsmight have given up, but to their credit it didn't happen. Led by Ken Cousins and Dave Stephenson, split up and each centring a line following the injury to Golley, they fought back to out -play the Kings in the final period. Ken Fitzgerald scored from Dave and Doug Stephenson, who also played a strong game in his first appearance with the Royals, to make it 8-2 at 1:27 of the third Period. Following a goal by Luke Frawley, Cousins made it 9-3 with a power -play marker and then Dave Stephenson — who never quit skating all night — picked off a pass in the Kincardine zone and skated in to score a shorthanded beauty. Dennis Burrows closed the scoring at 15:24 with his second goal of the night, duplicating Stephen - son's trick by picking off an errant pass. The Kings are an im- pressive and exciting hockey team and they were full value for the 10-4 win. Led by the Burrows brothers and players like Andy Sheddon they should make things interesting in the WOAA Intermediate league. However if the Royals continue to play with the same intensity they showed during the first and third periods of this match they definitely have the potential to win some games, par- ticularly if they can get some of their injured regulars back into the line-up. Despite their slow start, the season is still far from over. SENIOR LADIES High doubles were rolled by Catherine Campbell, 421; Wanda Stapleton, 348; Pris- cilla Bray, 335; Margaret Robertson, 333; Vera Marsh, 310.

Dave McKee scored both Wingham goals in this 2-0 shutout and was a threat throughout the match. Assists.went to Rob Harrison and Mike Elmslie. • Bill McGrath recorded a fine shutout in the Wingham net and continually frustrated the Wainfleet shooters.

Both teams fought to a scoreless tie during the remainder of the game. Terry Thynne was called upon to make some key saves, whtle Heibefn, We it Drost and Skinn had several opportunities as they skated well. The Wingham defence once again was unable to effectively clear the puck and lacked the necessary hustle. Jason Kregar scored the lone Wingham goal. The Legion team met a strong Port Dover club last Saturday and although Wingham came short of the win, this was an excellent game which could have gone either way. Wingham con- tinued its tight checking style of hockey and if a couple of scoring chances could have been capitalized upon, Wingham would have won the game. The action was fast and it was a guessing game who would get on the board first. There was no scoring in the first ,two periods and until half -way through the 'third period when Port Dover got the game's. only goal, it had appeared that overtime would be required. Wingham was . unable to get the equalizer 'and Port Dover advanced to the tournament final. Andrew Mann was not to be outdone by his goaltend- ing partner, McGrath and was selected Wingham's most valuable -player in the match. Mann made many fine saves and held his team in the game throughout. The boys represented the town well, playing excellent hockey and being good sportsmen throughout the tournament. a CREATING A DIVERSION—Doug Stephenson ran in- terference in front of the ne,t, eventually leading to a Wingham goal on the power play as the Royals fought back in the third period Friday night. However a second - period • collapse which allowed Kincardine Kings to score seven goals led to a 10-4 defeat. Opti.

Wainfleet jumped into an early two,goal lead in the first period. After a scoreless second period, Wingham's Shane Pegg scored with assists going to Gavin Hodgins and Clement Wai.

The Atoms got their first win of the season Saturday when they defeated Drumbo. At the end of regulation time the 'score was tied 4-4 and after two periods of overtime the score was still tied. The game was decided by shots on goal and Wingham was declared the winner, having outscored Drumbo 4-0. Scoring for Wingham were Deyell and Pegg with two goals each.

The Wingham boys never did get untracked, meaning Hanover had a relatively easy time of it and if it were not for the strong goaltend- ing of Andrew Mann, the score would have been much higher. Hanover opened the scoring in the first period and scored two more in the second ' before Wingham's Jeff McKee scored his team's only goal,the assist going•to Dave McKee. Wingham's next league game is Nov. 26 in Port Elgin and it is hoped the local lads will regroup and play solid two-way hockey in order.' to get back ori the winning track.
