Flyers
By Dave Broome
The Flyers were considered by
some as the darkhorse in the race
for the I.H.L. playoff. champion-
ship. They put together seven
wins in their last 10 contest and
finished a solid third in: the year
end Standings.
Leading scorer, Bob Watson
put together a fine 18-point term
and Perry Broome, Clive Buist
and John Nash turned in good
performances to help lead the
team to a strong 'finish.
The veteran "dipey doodler",
Jim Watson, chipped in 16 points
for 'his best effort in recent
seasons.
0 • t The club, as a whole; was good
defensively but seffered goal-
. tending problems throughout the
first half of the season. No fewer
• than five peoPle shared the
net-Minding duties with Larry
Seymore, finally winning the spot
late in the season.
The acquisition of Seymdre and
• forward-defenseman Glen Niche!-
, son gave the club defensive and
1 offensive punch they had lacked
eit earlier.
Their . inconsistency 1 shoWed
its~f during the playoffs in
ng form. The team whipped
. the Stars in the opening round
tic
A
with relative ease. They thrashed
the Kings 6-2 in the first game of
the Semis but were on 'the short
end of an 18-0 hammering in the
.second contest.
They came back tough in the
third game before succumbing
3-1 to the eventual league champ-
ions. They suffered through a
humiliating 60 minutes in the 18-0
contest and it probably hurt more
than they realized._ "
Blues*
Only the, Wings demonstrated
more fire power than the Blues
this past season.
' Art Strong drafted his team
first and succeeded• in putting
together an excellent two-way
outfit.
.Lightweight Ron - Dalton
exploded for 19' goals and 33
points to lead the team- in scoring.
Bill Price added 30 points for
his finest season and Ben, Akker
also contributed, to the cause with
28 big points.. ,
Randy Wood, slightly out of
shape, began to fly after the
halfway point and his late season
surge propelled him to a top ten
finish.
The team was probably the best -
balanced of any in the league. Bill
Teall, Greg Rau and Bill Salisbury
anchored' a solid defence. Ross
Govier took care of the net-mind-
ing duties and finished a solid
second in the _race for the
"Vezina" trophy.
The fast skating team defeated
all corners during the ,regular
season with the exception of the
Wings. Had they managed a win
or two over the Red team, they
would have finished first.
_ They were, probably, the most
consistent team in the league but
suffered through a long layoff in
the playoffs. They were not as
sharp during -the playoffs and
again fell second-best - this time
to the Kings.. It was a disappoint-
ing season for a team that had the
parts to win it all.
Kings.
As the.- song, says, "When
you're hot, you're hot." Here is a
team that did little over the
regular season to cause— panic
among the rest Of the teams. They
had only one player, -Dale
Kennedy, finish in-the top ten and
the club finished a distant fourth
in the overall standings.
The goaltending was juggled
between 5 -different fellows and'
getting, a whole team tegether for
game was a formidable task in
itself.
But something happened on
the road to the playoffs. Out of
their magic, bag of tracks, they
came up with a formula for
winning. They' -luddenly carne
together as a team, and the results
were impressive. ,Jerry—Cooper
played superbly in the nets. Ken
Doig Jr., Dale Kennedy, Gary
Finnigan and Jerry Feeney began
to skate and the result was
disaster for the clubs they met in
the -post season play. '
They were not overly well-
balanced but a' tremendous
amount of lady luck and sheer
,
desire propelled them past
Superior team's.
. They had everything to gain by
..playing hard and proved that
their' ;fOurth place finish '''Was
probably lower that it should haVe''
been.
" Winger'
Here is the , team that led in
every single category this season.
They had,the most wins, fewest
losses, top scorer, most goals,
fewest goals against and so' on.

They broke all previous scoring
records and were the only club to
beat every other team at least
once during the regular season.
The reason for the early exit? It's
difficult to pinpoint but the
closest you could'come to explain-
ing the failure would very well be
a too successfUl , regular season
mixed with a sprinkling of
dissension during playoff time.
They had accomplished feats
that no one else had come close to
doing and the resulting playoffs
seemed a "downer" in compari-
son. An obvious lack of desire and
a hot King team led to the squads
downfall.
The regular season -was a
tremendous success for the Red
team, too goer!, in fact, for their
own good.
I.H.L. Hates
The annual awards banquet is
slated for Saturday night, April
24. In some of the other lesser
known categories: Most winning
goals-Dave Broome, .7; John
Groothuis i Gary Finnigan and
Rol Dalton all finished' second
with 3 apiece. The .to 'five
penalty men were: Don Papple,
with 66 min.; Gary Nicholson with
49 min.; Kevan Broome with 42
min.; Brian Leonhardt with 40
min.; and Dave Broome with 39
minutes.
The Wings led the league with
232 penalty minutes. Broome also
hit the scoreboard with 6 'hat
tricks this season. The King
championship victory marked the
3rd time in four seasons they have
won it all. And they won all three
times at the expense of Blue
teams: Next week a final 'league
feature will hopefully appear to
help track down the seasons
failure and gains and the outlook
for next season.
