ZURICH 2- WILTON GROVE 1 In the final game of the tournament the Zurich Bantams played an exciting game which went into two periods of over- time before Gerald Weido came up with the goal that mov- ed them into the North Amer- ican Championship. Zurich downed Wilton Grove 2-1 in the second overtime period. There was no scoring in the first period as each team play- ed a strong game of hockey and neither team could seem to come up with an opening goal. Wilton Grove scored the only goal of the second period to take a 1-0 lead. Although Zur- ich had many chances at the net, they couldn't seem to capital- ize to tie the game. At the 8:00 mark of the final period Gerald Weido scored on an unassisted play to put his team right back in the game. Neither team was able to score the tie-breaker before the period ended, and so the over- time periods started. After playing through one 10 - minute overtime period Gerald Weido capitalized on a scoring play from Harry Smits at the 4:13 mark of the second period. At one point Zurich had to kill off penalties for Gerald Weido, Pat and. Bill Bedard, which was thought to be the critical point of the game. Wilton Grove had previously been the top team in the "C" division and were challenged by Zurich ,"D" winners. ZURICH 10 - GLENCOE 5 In the second game last Sat- urday the Zurich Bantams kept their hopes up as they came up with a convincing 10-5 victory over Glencoe, to win the "D" title. Bill Webster opened the scor- ing early in the first period, scoring on an unassisted goal at the .41 second mark. Marc Gelinas pushed Zurich into a 2-0 lead before James Sor'ld, of Glencoe put them on the score sheet. Pat Bedard put Zurich in front 3-1 before Gerald Weido came up with an unanswered goal to give them a 4-1 lead. The second period saw Zurich slacken off and Glencoe carne back and outscored them 4-1, to tie the game at 5-5. Jim Dy - mock and Gary Howe each scor- ed twice for Glencoe to put them back into the game. Ger- ald Weido tied the game before the period ended scoring on a play from Pat Bedard. Zurich came out flying in the final stanza, and when the per- iod was only 14 second old, Bill Bedard scored what proved to be the winning goal. Before the midway mark of the period Zurich led 9-5 with goals by Gerald Weido, Harry Smits and Pat Bedard. With two minutes remaining, Gerald Weido scor- ed to end it at 10-5.
