GREAT NOONHOUR PASTIME — Youngsters at Sacred Heart School in Wingham enjoy playing hockey.
during their noonhour breaks.
Optimist Atomteam learns
valuable lesson on weekend
Wingham's• Optimist Atoms were
reminded of . an important hockey
lesson last weekend - you can't beat
a good hockey team by playing
anything less than three solid
periods.
The Atoms dropped a 5-3 decision
to Seaforth Saturday and narrowly
defeated Goderich 4-3 on Sunday.
Seaforth came out eager to avenge
its earlier loss to the Optimist Atoms
and got on the scoreboard quickly.
Wingham's Josh Johnston rattled
one off the Seaforth goalpost on the
first foray, but it was Boyd
Devereaux who gave the visitors a 1-
0 lead less than one minute into the
game.
Wingham's defence left Dever-
eaux and another winger all alone in
front and the Seaforth marksman
stuffed it into the corner with a low
shot.
Devereux set up linemate Jason
Henderson halfway through the first
on a good, two-way passing play to
put Seaforth up 2-0. "
Seaforth started the middle frame
the same way as the first, by
carrying the play to Wingham and
went ahead 3-0 about three minutes
into the period. Pat Gridzak got that
one, assisted by Devereaux.
About four minutes later,
Wingham finally got on the board.
Joel Pegg's shot from the point was
stopped by a Seaforth defenceman,
but Johnston pounced on- the puck
and put it into the net to break the
goose egg.
That seemed to lift the Wingham
players' spirits and the locals roared
back with another goal a minute
later to cut Seaforth's lead to 3-2.
Arley Pautler deflected a shot from
Jeremy Creeden past the glove of
the Seaforth netminder for that one.
But before the period was out,
Seaforth's Devereaux put the
visitors ahead by two once again,
firing a 15 -footer into the top of the
net with just over two minutes
remaining in the second period.
In the third, it was the Wingham
club coming up with the first goal
Travis Beier buried a pass from
Pautler behind the Seaforth
netminder ''with just over five t
Minutes left ie the garner That
brought the locals within a goal of
Seaforth and the visitors , were
visibly nervous.
Seaforth's Devereaux, the club's
big gun, played most of the third and
left the ice only once in the final five
minutes as the visitors pushed for
the insurance marker. Devereaux
went one-on-one against Wingham
goaltender Craig Baynton four times
in the final two minutes and Baynton
stopped all four shots.
Seaforth finally iced the game
with a goal with 24 seconds left on
the clock. Mike Hugill got credit for
that one, which deflected in off a
Wingham defenceman in the crease.
It was a tough game for the Atoms
to lose, but it showed that the club
can play with the best in its group if
they stick to their game and don't let
up for a full three periods of hockey.
Wingham 4, Goderich 3
After the Seaforth game, the
Atoms came out as flat ars possible
against Goderich.
Following a scoreless first period,
Wingham scored three unanswered
goals in the second. Creeden scored
first, assisted by Johnston. Creeden
also was credited with the second
marker, unassisted. Baier scored
the third, a wrap-around from
behind the net, also unassisted.
The locals started the third with
their fourth goal of the game,
Creeden from Mark Gibson and
Johnston, about five mimutes into
the third. Then they seemed to go
into hibernation.
Goderich scored ona goalmouth
deflection just five seconds after
Wingham's fourth goal and four
minutes later they scored again,
Dave Lumley beating Baynton with
an ice -level shot off the far goalpost
from about 15 feet after jumping on
a bad clearing pass.
That made the score 4-2 for
Wingham and the Goderich club was
pumped up. Wingham was not.
Much of the action was in the
Wingham end for the remainder of
the game. And with just under two
minutes left, the visitors pulled
within one goal when John
MacDonald fired high shot from
he face-off circle past Baynton on a
near breakaway
Goderich pulled itsgoaltenslerand
Winghaim?s- Baier,spent-4he<last.•22
seconds in the penalty box, giving
the visitors six skaters to four. But
the locals managed to hang on for a
narrow 4-3 win.
The Atoms travel to Clinton
tonight, Tu and host Mitchell
this Thursday. The team also will be
taking part in the Seaforth
tournament this weekend.
Belgrave Tykes
lose to Huron Park
The Belgrave Tykes played their
first game of the new year Jan. 7 in
Huron Park. The local lads were not
able to get on the scoreboard and
lost 11-0.
Belgrave defencemen Tim Robin-
son, Matthew Beck, Brian Sinclair
and Justin Black were kept busy
trying to clear the puck out of their
end. Forwards Craig Marks, Justin
Campbell, Tyler Fenton, Steven
McBurney, Peter Irwin and Curtis
Knight tried several rushes up the
ice, but just couldn't seem to score.
However, the Belgrave fans were
pleased to see the Tykes play hard
throughout the match, never letting
up against a strong Huron Park
team.
Belgrave fared better against
Bayfield in a game played Dec. 31.
Although the lads got off to slow
start — Irwin did not score until late
in the second period — they
managed to hold Bayfield to three
goals.
The third period saw both teams
continue to play hard. Tom Pfeiffer
was the major factor in keeping the
score low. The final count was 3-1 for
Bayfield.
P!JRCHASE CREAMERY
In March of 1922, the United
Farmers Co -Operative Co. Ltd. pur-
chased the creamery from the Wing -
ham Creamery Co. Ltd. They
planned to move the equipment to
their building next to the town park.
It was believed the enterprising
company would make other ex-
tensive alterations to the building
and business.
