'movereron.a B- y Peter Bauer The `Wingham Ironmen proved. they do indeed have a ° great deal of heart as they overcame a two -goal deficit and the loss of their top scorer and hardest -hitting defenceman to hammer the Hanover Barons 10-3 Sunday afternoon. Troy Pocaluyko and Pete Goodall were ejected from the match in the first period following an altercation involving two Hanover players and the two Iron - men. Goodall was ejected for being the third man in, although he was not the only player to be drawn into the altercation. Unfortunately he was the only one to get the hook from referee Gary Baker. The Ironmen had just scored on the play to make things close, but after losing the two players it appeared the team would surely 'succumb to a tough Baron club. That was far from being the case, as the home squad dug deep and came up with its best team effort to date, rog#41 back in the second period to'L score six unanswered goals. Kevin Coultes led the of- fensive thrust with four goals and three assists while Rick Scrimgeour added two goals and four assists. Rob Schistad provided out- standing goaltending to complement the offensive effort, allowing just three goals on 43 shots. For the first time in many weeks, the team played before a sizable crowd that backed the club almost from the dropping of the puck. The game started with both teams skating well, with end- to-end rushes, but before the period ended emotions were stirred up by the altercation that followed the first Wingham score. Hanover opened the scoring at th s ven-minute mark after-stad had made three stops, with a pad save on a hard shot from close range and then a big stick save while he was down on the ice before the puck was cleared from the zone. The Barons came right back and this time Bob Sullivan beat Schistad on a rebound. Just over a minute later, Steve Reay made it 2:0, again firing a rebound past the netminder. Pete Goodall once again laced a Baron who forgot to skate around the wall. After Reay was decked at the Wingham blueline with a clean check, he retaliated by skating up behind Goodall and punching him several times on the back of the head. The referee did not see the infraction and it could have been that attack that sparked the club as the hometown fans became infuriated, starting a boisterous outcry from virtually everyone. The emotion spread like wildfire and with the Iron - men's first goal and the stick -work on Pocaluyko following the score the team came out with a vengeance Local Optimist Atoms defeat Brussels, Blyth The Wingham Optimist Atoms hosted Brussels last Friday evening and racked up a convincing 5-0 victory over the visitors. It was a seesaw battle for the .first two periods with both teams checking closely and playing sound defensive hockey. Wingham opened the scoring in the second period with Ryan Deyell scoring on a nice set-up, from Peter Poulin. The local squad really came out flying in the third. Rob Harrison scored a picture -perfect goal, picking up a pass from Jason Bloemberg and skating through Brussels defenders to score the goal. The rest of the game belonged to Wingham, with Scott Neil doing ' all the scoring and collecting a hat trick. Harrison had three assists, Rob McKay had two and Bloemberg the other. The Atoms played Blyth in Belgrave Sunday and defeated that team 9-1. Blyth_ put up a determined effort against the more ex- perienced Wingham team. They also had some tough luck around the net, hitting the- goal posts no less than three times. Harrison led the Wingham scorers with four goals and an assist.

Seaforth led 3-0 with only two minutes remaining in the second period, but Wingham's Captain Walker scored a powerplay goal that seemed, to lift the team. McKee had fed the puck to Walker at the point and he rifled it into the top corner of the net. The Seaforth goalie never saw the shot as Tolton had set up a perfect screen in front of the net: Wingham's second goal came early in the third from the stick of Coultes in an unassisted effort. The team pressed "hard but couldn't find the equalizer. Mann played the first two periods and Chris Fryfogle the third. Fryfogle was scheduled to start, however he was in- jured in the warm-up.
