Ripley leaped into a 241 lead in the first period on goals by Jamie Gallant and Paul Wilkins. Early in the second Ripley seemed to have things well in hand as goals by Brian Regier ans Brent Armstrong shot them ahead by four. Jim McGee opened the scoring for the Royals at 8:31, with Bill Haines drawing the assist. However before the end of the second Mirk Stanle§'s goal sent Ripley ahead h-1. lip ,fie. third period, the Royals pushed the pedal to the metal. McGee was the big gunner, picking up not one' but two shorthanded goals less than a minute apart." With just over four minutes to go, Murray Black got a big goal to bring the Royals rightback into the game, down -by one with the score 5-4. With less than a minute showing on Big Ben, the Royals pulled their goalie in favor of the extra attacker and McGee came through again, scoring to even the count at, five and send the game into sudden -death overtime.

WHISTLE STOPS — This was a big win for the Royals. It was their first win -of the season over Ripley and tied the series at one. Ripley cer- tainly dominated play in the early action and at the midpoint of the game things didn't look good for the gold - and -blue as they were down by four. Jim McGee was the spark that ignited.the explosion of four big goals to put Wingham right back into the game. It was nice to see Brent Lay come through to play a great two-way game for the Royals. Midget Bill Haines got his first taste of Intermediate action, playing a regular shift on the blueline, and he gave a good, solid effort. It was a close -checking, clean game, the Royals picking up 14 minutes in penalties and Ripley eight minutes. Neither team was able to capitalize on the power play, but the penalty killers were hot, scoring no fewer than three short- handed goals, one by Ripley anda big pair by Jim McGee for the Royals that played a big part in the win. IN HOT PURSUIT—Brett Sangster skated over the blueline, hotly pursued by- Howick skaters, and let go a hard shot, forcing the goaltender to make a good save. Sangster had two goals as the Wingham Tykes Shut out Howick 7-0 last week. Bow 4-0 to host club Rockers make it to finals at Kincardine tournament By Fraser Strong The ,Wingham Rockers entered the Kincardine Old - Timers' Hockey Tournament last weekend determined to earn some respect and improve upon their dismal showing in the tournament last year. The Rockers ac- complished both by defeating two excellent teams and tying another enroute to the A division final Sunday. Unfortunately the Rockers lost the championship to the host Kincardine club The local boys were It against a familiar ne sis last Friday in their opening game — the Hanover Old Yeovils. Dogged forecheck- ing and persistent back - checking paid off for the Rockers as they continually upset the opposition rushes. Wayne Brown triggered the first marker of the game with 2:12 left in the first period, assisted by Rob Laurie and Ross Davies. Jim English quickly followed with another Wingham goal 50 seconds after the first. Laurie and Tim Tolton set up the goal. Territorial advantage was split in the second frame. Wingham continued its strong performs a in the pening hal , but then a owed over to begin takin er during the latter part of the period. P.

'the Wingham ,.Optimist Tykes lost in their bid for the 'Tri -County Tyke trophy to Me Wallace Optimist Tykes last Friday. Even though the Wingham lads were up for the game and gave it their best, the Wallace players de- feated Wingham by a count of 4-0. In the first few seconds of the game the puck was cleared from behind the Wingham net and was driven in to give Wallace an early lead. At the end of the first period, Wallace was up by two. Try as the Wingham boys might, they could not penetrate Wallace's strong defence and could not stop its accurate passing and strong rushing. The game ended with Wallace shutting out Wingham by a score of 4-0 to give Wallace the cham- Hanover at the 8:40 mark to bring them within one. The third period was a see- saw affair. Wingham how- ever scored the only goal of the period to ice the 3-1 victory. John Fryfogle fed Paul McKee the puck at his blueline, then McKee rushed through centre, drew both Hanover defenders toward him and knifed a pass through them to Fraser Strong, breaking in from the opposite wing. Strong merely had to tip the pass in over the lunging Finlay in the Hanover net. In its second game Wingham came up against the Owen Sound "Good - timers", the team favored to win the division since it knocked off Lambeth, the previous tournament cham- pions. After the first period the Rockers weren't sure whether they were playing an oldtimers team or the juniors from the "bay -side" town. Using blinding speed Owen Sound jumped to a two -goal lead after 10 minutes. Refusing to be brushed aside, the Rockers followed Coach Doug Neil's ,game plan and reached deeper. Strong scored the only goal of the second on assists by -Fryfogle and Tim Tolton. This goal andthe hard work began paying off for the Rockers. In the final frame it became evident Wingham's use of three lines was tiring a slightly under -manned Owen Sound squad and the Rockers went on to outscore them 3-0 in the final frame and win the game 4-2. Special note should be paid to Wayne Drury in the Rocker goal. Drury made a few unbelievable saves to hold Wingham within range in the early going. Davies, English and George Skinn fired the three final markers and were assisted by Brown, Ray Walker and English. GAME THREE In game three the Rockers jumped to a two -goal lead over Lambeth on the strength of two goals by English. Bill and Tim Tolton assisted on the tallies. Once again Wingham reflected Coach Neil's philosophy of hard work and positional play. It appeared Wingham would escape with a shutout in the match until the final three minutes when the Lambeth "Canadians" struck for two quick goals to tie the game at 2-2. The tie was enough to give Wingham the division title and the right to play the Kincardine "Oldsters" for the overall A championship. Some of the Kincardine players 'were overheard to say they would be ready for these upstarts from Wing - ham in Sunday's match. And ready they were, with all their stars and fire power out in full force. A good crowd from both towns saw fast, furious, end. -to -end hockey. There was no score until the mid -point of the second period when Kin- cardine jumped to a 1-0 lead. The Oldsters made it 2-0 before the period ended' by taking advantage of a Wingham penalty. Another powerplay goal and a final score gave Kincardine a convincing 4-0 victory to grab top honors in the tournament. Tykes down in series The Wingham tptimist Tykes met their archrivals, _ the Wallace Optimist Tykes, and came out on the short end of a 4-1 score last Tuesday evening. This was the second meeting with Wallace and each team had one victory which forced a final and deciding game last Friday night, which Wingham lost, along with the series. In last Tuesday's game Wallace scored early on an unassisted goal by Alex- ander. Barton Cameron tied it up for Wingham on a deflected shot from Jonathon Balzer. An assist also went to Jonathon Lane. Wallace replied to make the score 2-1 at the end of the first. Wallace scored again in the second to make it 3-1 at break time, setting the stage for an excitingthird period. There was plenty of action at both ends of the rink. Due to the strong goaltending of Elmslie and Heinmiller, the period remained scoreless until the 13:30 mark when Wallace's Marty Felker iced the victory fel. the'visitors. ' The Wallace defence and back -checkers proved too strong for the Wingham skaters on this occasion. However, the Wingham team consists of a group of very determined players and gave it their best shot. Do you and your family know basic first aid?
