The tream received the Ken G. Waters Trophy for the win. The sixth game, required to com- plete the series, which ended in a tie after five games, was won by How - ick with a score of 6-2. Norwood had a short-lived lead when Dave Stewart scored on a power play at the 21/2 -minute mark in the first period. This goal was quickly followed by a perfect two on one executed by Howick's Steve Gib- son and Chris Reichard, making the most of a man advantage. Reichard tipped the final pass by NorWood's goalie, Dave Crawford. Norwood took two foolish penalties thelast minute which resulted in two quick power play_ goals for This -gaie. the team • great morale heading into the second frame. Second Period Philip Livermore won the face-off cleanly to Jaret Henhoeffer whose drop pass to Gibson on the point re- sulted in a hard blast by Crawford in net. Gibson's second goal in less than a minute was aLso the result of a can- non from the point. Qitig King and John "Greig drew assists on the power play goal. Four minutes into the second • period Philip Livermore scored Howick's fourth power play goal When he tipped in a hard Slap shot by Gibson from the neat. Each team had only four skaters when Andrew Weber scored on a re- bound off a John Greig shot to give Howick a 5-1 lead at the halfway mark of the period. Brian Sinclair reducedthe lead hy one with a power play goal. Some fine passing by Philip Liver- more, Gibson and Jason Douglas resulted in Howick's fifth power play goal with two minutes remaining in the period. Douglas blasted another shot high into the corner of the net by Craw- ford who didn't see the puck coming. The goal gave Howick a seemingly second 6-2 lead, however, Howick's three defencemen Gibson, Douglas and Craig King all drew minor penalties putting the team short- handed for over three minutes of play. The next, four minutes were pivotal for both teams and could have easily influenced the outcome of the game. Coach Ron Livermore moved wingers Reichard and Donald Liver- more back to play defence with King during the tense situation. The three were superior in their defensive roles. With a quick ro- tation of forwards Greig, Hen- hoeffer, Weber and Philip Liver- more, the defensive triangle was executed perfectly during the last minute of the second period and just three ntinutes of the third. The Howick squad held the Nor- wood shooters as Peter .Stewart stopped fear or five excellent oppor- tunities for goats.
