They will receive a forma' certif- icate and a gold -tone lapel pin. Photos of the recipients will appear in the Times -Advocate at a later date.

South Huron had two good chances to tie the game at that point but ran into foul trouble. Goderich failed to capitalize on their free -throws and strong de- fensive rebound protection by South Huron prevented them from securing the game. Refusing to submit to their op- ponents the Panthers roared into the Goderich zone with 10 seconds left. Dave Robilliard fired a cross -court pass to Matt Knox who dribbled his kity gtucZ shot.,r.

Lucan fell behind early as Seaforth jumped to a two goal lead in the first period. Andrew Stratton struck back for the Irish scoring an unassisted goal three minutes into the second and Adam Duskocy added Lucan's second goal with Greg Henderson picking up the as- sist, but they still trailed by one point going into the third. Seaforth went up by two midway through the period when a bullet beat Lucan goaltender Nathan Maudsley, but Ryan Baynham replied for Lucan after he picked up a rebound from Steve Hudson's shot and deposited the puck in the net. With the extra skater on the ice Lucan tried desperately to tie the game and send it into overtime, but Seaforth prevailed handing the home team their sixth loss. "We didn't get any breaks out there. We had our chances to win we just couldn't bury it," said head coach George Pratt after the gan e. "Nothing seems to go your way when your in a slump." Pratt is eager to break the losing skid and relieve the pressure so they can concentrate on playing the type of hockey that put them in second place in the Morenz division earlier this season. Lucan has now slipped to fourth place according to league standings. "The pressure of being in a slump can build on the players. It's al- ways at the back of your mind," he said. The Lucan irish squared off against the Exeter Hawks on Friday night, however, results were not known at press time.
