Wingham's opposition in the first game was a fast -skating team from Harriston. The Great China House PeeWees jumped into the lead when Peter Shaw slapped in a rebound off Shawn Daw's shot from the point. Shortly after, the Harriston goalie stopped Jeremy Brown in two breakaways. Wingham added to the lead when Brown fed Terry Thynne a beautiful pass and Thynne fired the puck just inside the right goalpost. Then it was Harriston's turn and after several good saves by Kelly McInnes, man- aged to get the pick past the Wingham goalie. With only 19 seconds left in the game and Wingham playing short handed, Harriston scored the equalizer which sent the game into sudden death overtime. Less than a Denmark Bantams come to Wingham Win;: ' in will -have, its own in- ternational hockey match Thursday as Wingham Kinsmen Bantams take on a team from Herlev, Denmark at Lockridge Memorial Arena. The Denmark contingent of 25 boys and seven adults were .brought to Canada by the Seaforth Minor Hockey Association,; and are billeted in homes in Seaforth while' tourins.. the area. They've been here since December 26. Wingham Minor Hockey president Al Harrison says the team is playing exhibition games in Mitchell, Sea - forth, Wingham, Listowel, Kin- cardine and Mount Forest during the two weeks they're here. "All these communities pay their share toward hosting the Denmark team," Mr. Harrison claims. "Wingham pays a portion of their travel expenses and sanction fees. We're grateful to local service clubs and organizations that have contributed toward our ex- penses, including local Lions Club, Kinsmen, Optimists, Wingham Legion and the Wingham., Silver Stick Hockey committee." The team will arrive in Wingham at 3.30 p.m. Thursday, tour the CKNX radio station, enjoy a full - course supper at the Legion, then at 6 p.m, head for the Arena for a pre- game warm-up. The game begins at 7 p.m. The Denmark tour is part of an ongoing exchange between Can- adian and European minor hockey teams, Mr. Harrison explains. Twp years ago, a team from Seaforth had the opportunity to tour several areas of Europe. The Denmark team also will have the opportunity to see Toronto's CN Tower, visit the Skydorne, and make •a trip to Niagara Falls before re- turning home Jan. 8. SW' minute into the overtime session, Harriston potted the winning goal and the loss put Wingham into the consolation round. Wingham came out flying in the second game and this was bad news for the Bayfield squad. Brown's first shot toward the net was redirected by a Bayfield defenceman into his own net past a startled goalie. Wingham's second score was a pic- ture play involving Brown and Steven Anger who assisted On Thynne's goal. Chris Patterson, who took over goaltending duties from Kelly McInnes in this game, was just as hot as McInnes was in the first contest. Wingham's third marker came as Shawn Gedcke blasted home a rebound with Shaw and Anger assisting. Bayfield scored two quick un- answered ed goals which set the stage -•• for an exciting final five minutes, but Wingham held off a frantic last- minute Bayfield attack to win the game 3-2. There was excitement in anti- cipation of the consolation final game against a strong Tiverton team. However, before Wingham could get in gear, the Great China House PeeWees were facing a two -goal deficit. Gedeke's backhander then found the mark after a crisp pass from Jason Kleist. Then it was Tiverton's turn to again move two goals ahead, but Kleist put the rubber over the goal line on a nice setup by Danny McPherson. Wingham pulled the goalie for the last Minute and the action was fast and furious around the Tiverton net. However, the effort fell short and Tiverton went onto win by a 3-2 count. Congratulations are in order for all the players — Kelly McInnes, Jason Crawford, Chris Patterson, Dan McPherson, Jeremy Brown, Shawn Gedcke, Patrick Nelemans, Shawn Daw, Steve Anger, Peter Shaw, Terry Thynne, Jason -Kleist, Todd Harrison and Jamie MacKay — for their efforts in providing some exciting entertainment for the spectators on hand.
