In t h e regular schedule throughout the year Dashwood had seven wins, four Iosses and one tie for a total of 15 points Zurich had five wins, three losses and three ties for a total of 13 points. The Dashwood fans have really been supporting their team and the Zurich Kings are hoping for some support from the fans in Zurich Around the end of the reg ular season some fans from Dashwood brought chalk along to one of the games, and used the blackboard in the entrance of the arena to write on: "Where are the Zurich fans, Dashwood is here", which caused great laughter among the teams. I'm sure the great rivalry be- tween the Zurich and Dashwood fans would again be back if the Zurich fans were out. The two teams seem to be fairly even, which will produce good hockey back in the Zurich Arena, as there once was years ago.

The superb goaltending of Dave Siebert led the Zurich crew to a 5-2 victory in the eighth game of the series. Both teams had previously won three and tied one. As usually the Zurich Midgets got off to a slow start allowing Ripley to score two goals and keep that lead, until in the last two minutes of the first period the gap was shortened by one goal, as John McKinley deflect- ed a stray backhand from Shane McKinnon. The second period was score- less as it turned into a de- fenceman's hockey game, with both teams breaking fast but proved to be ineffective in try- ing to penetrate through the solid defence. Finally, in the last 12 min- utes of the third period after the locals sang their theme song, the Zurich spirits were lifted when Shane McKinnon tied it up with a backhand after receiving a pass from John Mc- Kinley. Two minutes later Mc- Kinnon broke through the de- fence and made his play which Zurich Flyers Lose S venal Ca , e Series to St. Clements at Milverton The Zurich Flyers faded out of the playoff picture in WOAA intermediate hockey last Friday night, when they lost the seventh and deciding game to the St. Clements Saints, by a score of 5-2. St. Clements had taken a three -game lead in the series, only to have Zurich roar back with three straight vic- tories iatories to force the seventh game. Close to 300 loyal fans ac- companied the Flyers to Mil- verton for the big .game, but the locals just failed to come up with the big effort they had shown in the three previous games. Had it not been for the sensational goal tending of Rick Jeffrey, the score might have been much worse than it was. The SL Clements crew now meet Crediton in the final round for the WOAA title, and the first game, which ended in a 10-3 victory for Crediton, was played in Exeter last Sunday night. Bab Johnston shot Zurich in- to an early lead in the Friday night game, when he slapped in a pass from line -mates Craig Chapman and Earl Wagner at the 4:35 mark of the first peri- od. Midway through the period the Saints counted on a goal that most fans agreed never Ken Parker each fired in singles for Hensall in the first period, as Dashwood were only able to get one by Hensall's Gary Kyle. Hensall scored three more in the third and Dashwood picked up their second goal, as the second stanza remained score- less. Hensall's third period goals were scored by Harry Moir, collecting two, and Bob Carlile geting a single. Dash - wood's sharpshooter was Bob Hayter, scoring a lone goal. There were nine penalties in the game with Dashwood get- ting five of the nine. Referees were George Sweeney, Jim ,Be- dard and Doug O'Brien.

DIAL 236.4371 -- ZURICH iF AJS entered the net. One referee said the puck was in the net, while the other claimed it hit the top bar of the net, however the home team was awarded the goal. Many fans felt this was the turning point in the game which brought the downfall of the Flyers. With less than five minutes left in the first, Hins- berger scored his first of two goals to give the Saints a 2-1 lead. Neither team managed to score in the second period, as players checked at a feverish pace throughout. The roof fell in for the Flyers in the third, li. o w e v e r, when. the Saints banged in three goals within seven minutes. With less than two minutes left to play, Earl Wagner slapped in a pass from Chapman and Johnston to end the scoring in the game. A total of seven penalties were handed out in the game, with five going to St. Clements and two to Zurich. Near the end of the game Rick Jeffrey was forced to leave with a pulled muscle in his leg, and he was replaced for the last few minutes by Percy Bedard. While some of the Zurich fans were disappointed at the loss to St. Clements in the seventh game, they should not be too down -hearted consider- ing the terrific comeback ,the Flyers made this season. The players have expressed their sincere 'appreciation to the many fans who have supported them this season, and they hope to be back next year with a better team than ever. put Zurich ahead 3-2, The pressure was on and the action was hot when James Ramer, one of our sleek de- fencemen, made a rush up the ice and the rebound from his shot was picked up by John McKinley, who had little trou- ble putting it into the net, giv- ing Zurich an insurance goal. With seconds remaining Richard Schilbe popped in an extra in- surance goal, being assisted by John Corriveau and Ron Des- jardine. After the bell sounded the whole Zurich team swarmed af- ter Dave Siebert, who was mauled by his joyous team- mates. Also the loyal Zurich fans were on the ice, congratu- lating the only championship team in the village. They shook hands with the Ripley crew, who gave the locals words of encouragement on the next series and showed a fine ex- ample of sportsmanship. Mrs. J. Liesemer presented the trophy to the newly appoint- ed team captain, Richard Sehil - be, who received a kiss to go along with it. Mrs. Liesemer and her Husband donated the trophy for the WOAA.
