HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Wingham Advance-Times, 1983-03-09, Page 12Page 12—The Wingham Advance -Times, March 9, 1983 lug nk Royals Game 5 at Barri By Bill Johnston Smarting from the over- time loss in Wingham Friday night, the Blues certainly were up for the game in Harriston Sunday, and they showed no mercy as they blanked the Royals 6-0 to jump into a 3-2 lead in the best -of -seven series. The Blues hit the ice on the fly and at 2:59 Brent Man- derson was johnny-on-the- spot to tap in Dan Mock's Apt from the point. At 6:51 Murray Williams, on a perfect shot, put the puck just inside the post for Harriston's second goal. The Blues continued to have things their way, and at 9:26 a shot from the point that was going three feet wide of the net banked off Barry Richardson's hip and into the net to give them a commanding 3-0 lead. The Blues raised the count to five in the second period on goals by Fred Hardy and Wayne Williams, as they had the puck contunually in the Royals' end while their goalie saw very little of the black biscuit coming his way. The Royals just didn't have any penetrating power against the solid Blue defence and ever -skating wings. In the third things got a little rough as both teams took some solid runs at each other, and the decisions — or lack of rule — by the referee saw very little hockey played but a lot of lack of discipline on both sides. Royals' Jay MacLaurin was hit by a solid one in the centre ice zone and left the game with a shoulder injury. The lone goal of the period came at 14:51, as Hugh Clunas banged one in and Harriston certainly deserved the 6-0 win in this one. WHISTLE STOPS—There was no stopping the Blues in this one. They were up for the game after the overtime loss, and completely Tolton leads Oldtimers with hat trick on weekend The Wingham Oldtimers traveled to Mississauga last weekend for a pair of games against their arch -rivals, Cookstown. Wingham was victorious in both matches. Last Saturday night, Rob Laurie scored with 12 seconds left in the game to give Wingham a 2-1 win. Laurie's goal was the result of a picture pass from Jim English who was stationed to the left of the opposition's net. Wingham's first goal was set up by the persistent forechecking of Len Houghton who stole the puck behind the net, fed it to Fraser Strong who, in turn, hit Paul McKee in front of the net. McKee made no mistake in picking the corner behind the Cookstown goalie. The first star of the game would have to go to Tom Creeden in the Wingham net, but the defence played their best game of the year. Bill Tolton showed his sharp eye around the Cookstown net in the second game, coming up with a hat trick to lead Wingham to a 6- 2 victory. Laurie again had a strong game with a goal and three assists, while Houghton and Tim Tolton finshed off the scoring with one each. Once again, Creeden showed brilliant form in net for Wingham, even rushing the puck up to the blueline on one occasion. The Rockers played two good games with these victories showing the team effort and consistent back - checking that coaches Doug Neil and John Fryfogle have been drilling them in. 04, SCOUTING NEWS The March meeting of the First Wingham Scout Group committee was held at the home of Marlene Leedham Sunday evening. Gerry Belanger chaired the meeting. A thankyou not was read from Wingham Rintoul thanking the group for inviting them to attend the parent and son banquet. Mrs. Rintoul keeps track of all the money and badges for the Scouts. The group committee was most pleased with the at- tendance at the banquet. Blake Evans, guest speaker, gave an excellent presen- tation for all age levels of boys. The church parade was well -attended at Sacred Heart Feb. 20. The boys had a fun night when they went to Vanastra to swim in February. An excellent attendance was present to enjoy skating at the arena last Saturday night. The Brownies, Guides and Path- finders joined the boys for. this event. The invitational ]tub Kar Race will be held at the Wingham Public School April 10, beginning at 10 a.m. The public is most welcome to attend this event. It was reported that 12 Scouts are taking the gun club course which began last Tuesday. Phillip Massey has become a new Cub leader, replacing Wilson Perrin. Two new leaders, Brent and Phillip Foxton, have been invested as new Scout leaders. A district meeting will be held in Ripley March 20. It was decided the paper drive will be held May 7 and it was felt the paper might have to be stored until fall to get a full load. Since the Scouts are again low in funds, it was decided that the group obtain two tables at the flea market being held April 30 and that a stencil be sent home with each boy asking for donations. Due to the Easter holiday falling on the group com- mittee's regular meeting night, it will meet April 10. The Canadian National In- stitute for the Blind's 12 week adjustment to blind- ness program teaches old skills a new way, and focuses on attitudes to blindness and decision making. dominated the play. They seemed to be in the Royals' end the biggest part of the game. The Berfelz boys, Bill and Paul, just never stopped skating and at times while killing penalties it almost appeared Harriston had the man advantage. Six 'different Blues had goals in this one, with the big man, Dan Mock, 'having a big day with three assistk. Blue goalie Ralph Reeves had an easy time of it as he chalked up his first shutout of the season. The Royals certainly came up with a lack -lustre effort as they just didn't have the zip required to upset that loaded Harriston lineup. On the whistle for this game was Grand Valley's big Al Dawe in the black and white and never right. He just didn't have control as both teams used a flurry of stickwork and excessive charging. The Blues never missed a chance to take a run at Royal blueliner Gord Kinahan, but he just kept bouncing back and was certainly the best in the Wingham brigade in this loss. Game 6 was played last night in Wingham and the seventh game, if necessary, goes at Harriston Friday night at 8:30. Legion Pee Wees eliminate Clinton The Wingham Legion Pee Wees downed Clinton eo last Tuesday night at the Lockridge Memorial Arena. The win eliminated Clinton from further play in the WOAA playoffs. Clinton won the opening game of the series 8-4 in overtime, but Wingham won the next two games 3-1 and 4-0, thus winning the best of three series, two games to one. It was a total team victory, as Wingham held Clinton to only eight shots on goal. Wingham's defence played an excellent game, by paying close attention to Clinton's Devon Colquhoun. The Wingham forwards not only displayed a strong fore - checking game, but helped out the defence by putting together an even stronger backchecking effort. Although not overworked, Wingham's goalie Murray Foxton turned in two or three key saves to record the shutout. Captain Brett Martin led Wingham with two goals, while Paul Brophy and Bill Kinahan added singles. In the assist depart- ment, Brophy, Rick Leach- man, John MacD4nald, Terry Daer, Paul Edwards, Jason Moore and Jason Ducharme, added one each. Wingham now will meet Seaforth in the league finals. Game one of the best of three is Sunday in Wingham at 5 p.m. Game two is in Seaforth Monday at 7:30 p.m. and game three, if necessary, will be played Tuesday in Wingham at 6:30 p.m..

The .first period ended in a 0-0 tie. After much hard work, Brad Hunter and Jonathon Lane each scored for Wingham in the second period and Lane clinched the game with a goal in the third. Saturday evening, the Wingham boys met Mount Forest in a hotly -contested match which ended in a 0-0, tie. Here Elmslie, Wing - ham's goalie, proved himself against the Mount Forest of- fence. Mike Tiffin joined Lane and Cameron to put pressure on the opposition. Brad Hunter, Andrew Forest and Todd Harrison each played a strong game in which they had to skate off the Mount Forest players. Ryan Deyell proved his versatility by teaming up with MacLeod on defence and, along with Skinn and 'Brendan Magee, formed an impenetrable defence for Wingham. The final score of 0-0 was the climax of a hard- fought battle for the boys on each team. Sunday evening, the Tykes faced off against Harriston. Deyell and Elmslie stopped many hard shots on goal and each boy can be proud of the way he stood up under the pressure. The game probably was the most ex- citing the boys have ever played. MacLeod cleared the puck again and again, while Magee drove it up the boards. Jonathon Balzer and Tiffin checked the Harriston players and stopped them in their tracks. Barton Cameron worked the corners and Poulin kept the Harriston players on their toes with his tenacious play. Clemment Wai fought his way through Harriston's defence to set up plays and centre the puck. Lane scored the first Wingham goal, assisted by Cameron and flunter's hard work paid off when he scored Wingham's second marker, assisted by Hodgins and Gibson. The final score was Wingham, two and Harriston, three. The Wingham Tykes and their parents appreciate and thank Howick's organizers and volunteers for their hospitality. Ie sme 3 •'�. l n .

The first game, played last Saturday, saw Kingsville walk away with a 5-2 win. Wingham opened the scoring with a goal by Paul Tolton, assisted by Jeff Walden and David Wheeler, but Kingsville came back with three goals before the first period ended. The second period saw Wingham's Bill Cameron score, assisted by Jamie Robinson and Jason Goodall, but Kingsville scored two more to make the score 5-2. The third period was scoreless with Wingham having several good scoring opportunities on which they were unable to capitalize. Sunday's game in Kingsville saw the Kings outscore Wingham 9-5. In the first period, Kingsville Midgets eliminate Clinton in WOAA Midget playoffs The Wingham Midgets skated to a 5-1 win over a hard -checking Clinton team Sunday afternoon to eliminate Clinton from the WOAA semi-finals. Byron Thompson scored unassisted at 2:13 of the first frame to give Wingham a 1-0 lead. The Midgets then took a 2-0 lead on a goal by Paul Robinson, assisted by Steve Nicholson, at 6:02. Clinton got one back before Mark Foxton scored, assisted by Paul Kenyon, to make the lead 3-1. Robinson got his second goal with only six seconds remaining in the period to make it 4-1 after one. Only one goal was scored in the second period, and it was by Nicholson at 7:25, assisted by Robinson and Bill Haines. There was no scoring in the third period. ICE CHIPS—There was some fine bodychecking by the defensive team of Paul Robinson, Byron Thompson, Rob Willis and Doug Wood, together with a strong game by goalie Mitch Braun, holding Clinton to just one goal. Mitchell and Wingham tie Mitchell tied its WOAA quarter -final playoff series with the Wingham Midgets with a 5-4 win last Monday night in Mitchell. Mitchell had a 2-0 lead at the end of the first period. Wingham tied the score on goals by Brett Cameron from Jim Dennis at 8:39 of the second and Paul Robinson from Bill Haines and Tim Brown at 11:19.

However, Mitchell won the game on a goal scored with only 32 seconds remaining in the game. The final score was Mitchell, five, acid Wingham, four. Brownie corner By Shannon Robinson We played some games. Then we went to our Sixes and did inspection and we marked our books to see if everybody was there and brought their money. We went into the Brownie Ring and said our promise, law and motto and then we gave our money. In Pow Wow we talked about coming events and gave out badges. Brown Owl gave Baker's Badges to Maria Gibbons and Erin Whiteley. We are going to a skating party at the arena. Group A caught up on their Brownie books and Group B made a season's scrapbook by cutting out clothes from the catalogue. Group C worked on their Friend to Birds Badges. Mrs. M. Hunter helped the group with their badge. R. W. Bell OPTO Goderleh The Square 624-718411 scored five goals while Robinson scored Wingham's only goal, assisted by Bloemberg and Goodall. In the second period, Wingham's Tolton came back with a goal assisted by Sean Kieffer, then Robinson scored his second goal of the game, assisted by Cameron and Goodall. However, the Kings came back with another goal to make the score 6-3 at the end of the second. The Kings added another goal at the first of the third period, but Shawn Fryfogle scored Wingham's fourth goal, assisted by Murray Houghton. The Kings came back with another goal before Tolton scored his second goal of the game. Kingsville added its ninth goal at 12:15 to end the scoring. Kingsville's Dean Lafleur was the big gun for his team, scoring seven goals in the two games, and if it wasn't for the excellent play of David Wheeler (assigned to Lafleur during the second and third periods), he probably would have scored more goals. Out of frustration, Lafleur sat in the penalty box for four penalties. Kingsville had seven penalties in the match, compared to Wingham's four. A SIDELINE VIEW—The Wingham boys all gave 100 per cent during this series, but just couldn't get the breaks around the net. They played excellent hockey and accepted the loss with class. Now, they start the next round of WOAA playoffs against Seaforth, Wed- nesday night in Seaforth. Senior ringette team eliminated on weekend The Wingham Opti -Mrs. ringette team was eliminated from playoff action on the weekend by Goderich.

Sunday night's game in Wingham saw Goderich outscore Wingham 6-5 in a close, well -played game that could have gone either way, with Wingham just missing on a good scoring op- portunity in the last seconds of the game. Gavreluk scored three goals for Wingham, while Julaine Adams and Ellen Rodger each added one. Assists went to Leah Kulas, Cook and Morrison.
