The Ironmen trailed at one point in the series by three games to one. They swept two games last weekend to even the series and wrapped up the win with a decisive 9-4 triumph in front of their largest crowd of the season. The, fans were entertained by a great '-ockey game, a game in which the Ironmen played a disciplined style 'that frustrated their op- ponents. Mike Campbell registered his fourth win of the series with an excellent game between the pipes, facing 35 shots and making 31 saves, a number on dangerous drives. Coultes notched the hat trick offensively, including the game winner, but suf- fered several potentially serious injuries, making his status questionable for the next series. Pete Goodall played a strong game defensively while adding two goals. The Bears opened the scoring with a power play marker at 2:01 of the first period as Darren Missel- brook drilled a .low shot from the point past Campbell's glove. The Ironmen responded with two quick goals, 23 seconds apart, with Coultes accounting for both. The first came on a power play at 3:04 a past Todd . Root. He scored again at 3:27, quiek1 'eon' verting a short pass from Rick Scrimgeour. Paul Longpre tied the score at two, shooting from the goalmouth while Wingham .was a man short,, but • Brett Cameron gave ' Wingham a 3-2 lead going into the dressing room as he deflected' a Troy Pocaluyko slapshot near the goalmouth. Longpre's second goal of the evening tied the score at three just 36 seconds into the second period after Rob Willis lost his footing near his own blueline. Longpre moved in and fired a high_ shot over Campbell's glove. Goodall broke the tie with a power play score at 7:24, skating over the.bIt eline and blasting a shot' through Root's pads. This was the first of four unanswered goals in the second period. Coultes fired his third of the game at 10:59, finding the far corner of the net after taking a good pass from Rick Schiestel. Schiestel connected next, jamming the puck past Root with just five seconds remaining in a power play. The back -breaker came on the Ironmen's seventh goal, when Doug Craig scored from centre ice with a shot flipped high into the air. Root misjudged the angle of the falling puck and was burned as it dropped behind him into the net. Jim Binns fired a point shot past Campbell after the Bears had won a faceoff in Wingham territory in the third period, making the score 7-4, but unlike the -last two outings the Ironmen did not allow the Bears to stage a third -period rally. They continued to use the power play to advantage, scoring twice more to ice the win. Jim LeGrand fired a high shot just under the crossbar to make it 8-4 at 9:32 before Goodall rounded out the scoring with a hard shot from the point. The win capped a tough playoff series that saw the two clubs play the maximum number of games, three of which were decided in overtime. The championship crowns a very successful year for the Ironmen in their own group. Finishing in first place by one point over the Bears, they turned things around completely from last year when they failed to make the playoffs. Now they must assess their bumps and bruises and prepare for an even tougher task as they take on the group champions from the Great Lakes Jr. C loop, Dresden, which defeated Belle River in a series that also went to seven games.

Dresden's ice surface is 37 feet longer, so perhaps a mild case of claustrophobia would not hurt the Ironmen's chances. The clubs skated to a 1-1 tie in the first period. Dwaine Ellis slapped the puck into the open, side of the goal, following a goal -mouth scramble, with Mike Camp- bell caught slightly off bal- ance. Troy Pocaluyko tied the score two minutes later, capitalizing on a three -on - two break.

Ironman lose to Dresden By Peter Bauer The Wingham Ironmen dropped the first game in their best -of -seven quarter- final of the all -Ontario play- off series by a humbling 9-2 count at Dresden Friday night. Dresden proved to be too much for Wingham in the opener as the Ironmen failed to get anything going. Their passing left much to be desired and defensively they were caught scrambling. In fairness to them, they found themselves playing on a much larger ice surface, making the Wingham ice look like an ice cube while Dresden's looked like Lake Howick Atoms to face Hensall in WOAA finals FORDWICH - The How - ick Atoms defeated Ripley. 3-1 in the final game of their WOAA series last week and now advance to play Hensall for the league's "D" cham- pionship.

Perhaps in the familiar surroundings of the Wingham arena they will find the key to success. Team Captain Kevin Coultes missed the first two games and his status is still in doubt.

Dresden took a 4-0 first - period lead. Kevin Fox found the far corner just inside the post after linemate Bruce McFadden drew the puck back to the point off the face- off. Darryl Ellis ripped a shot from the centre blueline area, beating Schistad through the pads. Ron Horvat scored on a bad Wingham giveaway after the puck was shot blindly up the middle. The fourth goal was' surrendered on a gamble. The .puck lay near the blueline as the one Wingham defenceman back tried to push a Dresden forward off- side. However he found his opponent too hard to move, allowing the second man to pick up the puck, skate in and fire a shot which beat Schistad cleanly. Pocaluyko scored the only Wingham goal of the secona period on a return pass from Jim LeGrand. Pocaluyko won the faceoff and fed LeGrand, who in turn gave it back, allowing Pocaluyko to Snap a shot past Dresden netminder Richie Copeland's stick side. Horvat responded by firing his second goal of the evening, making it 5-1 after two periods. Ron Schistad redeemed himself for an earlier give- away when he potted the second Wingham goal early in the third period, but the Dresden onslaught continued with four unanswered goals. Jeff Meredith, Greg Medd, Dawine Ellis and McFadden were the scorers. The Ironmen were limited to just 14 shots on goal, while they allowed 40 shots on Schistad.
