Imes, February 114 1981 igham ironme sudden deat overt . y Peter Bauer Winghani Ironmen e ll 'out a 3-2 victory in the se tm period of overtime Ply'° in Clinton on Saturday Welt. The game was fiercely contested by both clubs, but the Ironmen won on Grant Gnay's sudden death goal at 2:28 of the second overtime. The win gave the Ironmen a 1-0 lead in the best. -of -five series, with the next two games to be played in Wingham. . It was a goaltending duel, as both Doug Gamble and Jim Heilman performed with excellence in the shoot- out that took place before their eyes. Gamble was exceptionally good in the first period, when he blanked the Mustangs on 13 shots.and came up with some spec- - tacular saves in the latter stages of regulation time. Heilman had his best period in the second, when the Iron - men turned things around .and forced the play in Clinton territory. The Ironmen held a 18-6 edge in the second but could muster only one goal. After 20 minutes of play the game remained score- less. Clinton dominated play, due largely to the fact that the Ironmen played short- handed for eight of the 20 minutes. The Mustangs moved the puck around -with authority, but were unable to beat Gamble. In the second period events turned around, with the Mustangs playing short for eight minutes and the Iron - men controlling the majority of play. Clinton drew first blood on an early powerplay. With Dave Kieffer in the penalty box, Mark Rowe blasted one from the point and his screened shot caught the bottom right hand of the net at the 1:31 mark. That goal seemed to stir the Ironmen to life and from that point onward they con- tinually poured . into the Finish fifth after weekend games Clinton end, forcing the play, which finally resulted in a goal at 8:16. Mark Frayne had possession of the puck 'and circled behind the Clinton goal. He made a short pass out front to Jerry, Hoggarth, parked at the goalmouth, who converted the pass for the score and the clubs were tied at one. Before the period ended the Ironmen came close on numerous .,occasions, with Larry Donaldson being robbed on two separate scoring chances and Dave Kieffer ringing a shot off the goal post. However the period ended in a 1-1 tie. The clubs played evenly in the third period, with the shots on goal being 16-15 in favor of Wingham. Picking out possible scoring high- lights would take up two much time as the period was filled with end-to-end rushes with fantastic saves at both ends. The Ironmen got a late goal at 15:22 as Ken Cousins ` slipped through the defence with a good move just inside the blueitpe and .snapped a 10 -foot shot' y Heilman. At that stage the boisterous Wingham fans thought that the game was won, but just over a minute later Gary Peters evened things as the Ironmen became a little sluggish. Peters banged in a loose puck after a goalmouth scramble. That goal forced a 10 -minute overtime period. In that period Heilman came , up with another big stop on Donaldson and two con- secutive saves on Mark Frayne. Gamble was forced to make three big saves in the dying minutes of the period alter ••,t -he Ironmen dominated the greater part of play. After the 10 -minute. overtime the clubs'faced a 20 -minute sudden death period and the stage was set for a thrilling climax. • Grant Gnay who saw limited action in the game ROy�is suffer back-to-back losses The Wingham Royals finished their season in fifth place after weekendaction against Luck:now and Mild- may.

After leaving the bench he skated tothe far boards and cleared the puck up to Mark Frayne, Frayne: carried the puck ,-over theblueline, centered it frena the back boards and Heilman, who was down after making a stop at the opp®sr.te side of the crease, was helpless as- Onay shot the loose puck past his out- stretched leg. .
