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.
