Owen Sound goalie,- Terry Orr,_ may have mana&ed to block, this puck fired by Sifto centre Mayo ,Paquette, but he wasn't as fortunate with three others which, Paquette drilled. past him during the Friday night contest here.

The Moscow Selects will be at the Kitchener Memorial Audi- torium at that time and their opposition willbe provided by a Junior A All Star Club comprised of players from the Kitchener Rangers,, Toronto Marlboro's and London Nationals. The best game on the tour of the Russian Nationals last year was a game at Maple Leat Gardens when. they played a Junior A All Star team. TLe Ruskies got a goal in the • last three minutes to win the game 4.3. .Tire` Selects- will --arrive Canada at Montreal --airport on December 15. They will -play their first,, game the following night against the Canadian National's second team; in Hull, Quebec. • After a series of games in Western Canada, the Moscow Selects will return to Ontario and play in Kitchener, December 28, against the Junior "A" All Stars. * * * NHL . Clubs don't fool around with players who are late for ,practises or home games, particulhrly the New- York Rangers' management. =n episode. related -by Larry Jeffrey, of the Rangers..sub- .fitiates this claim, ,Larry was heading for the New York Rangers' stadium one morning when he was caught in a particularly heavy traffic jam - As Larry said, "the only time you moved ahead was when somebody breathed" which gives one an idea of how terrible a traffic tie-up in .that city can become. Realizing that he wasn't going to reach the arena in time for the game, Larry parked his car and strode • the remaining few blocks on foot. After all, if a player turns up late for a scheduled game or practise, New York Rangers' management fines hire $50.00 * * *• Speaking of hockey a little Closer to home, it would be grata. Eying to the. Goderich Junior B Booster Club to see history repeating itself Friday night when St. Thomas visits the Siftos at the local arena. As pointed out `by Richard Madge, the booster club's pub. Reify director, the last time that the Junior B hockey team from St. Thomas played in Goderich was the 1962.63 season. Granted it was a ..crucial play. -off game but the arena was jammed_to the rafters for the match. Official attendance was reported as 2300. Neither before nor since had a hockey game at the Goderich arena drawn as many. spectators. St. Thomas.,has traditionally been a powerful Junior B hockey centre and this. ,year is no exception. Currently the Barons hold third place in the ,western division of the OHA Junior B league. This position should qualify them as substantial competi,. tion for the Siftos, presently tied for third place in the Central division. Booster Club officials do not expect apacked i arena�rthis s Friday night when Goderich's worthy opponents, ,, meets the Siftos, but they do hope for a healthy increase in the attendance for this important game. * * * Officials and coaches of. the Goderich minor hockey association must have been an. smiles after the 'performance turned in by their minor hockey teams Saturday.night. The town's minor hockey squads swept the series. The first three victories were shut -outs, in whioh the Goderich Squirt All -Stars, Pee Wee AB -Stars and Bantam, All -Stars in Meted lopsided defeats on their 2 urich}opponents. In one of the Zurich-Goderich minor hockey contests, the Goderich goalie was probably wishing he had a little more work to do to help him keep warm, He was required -to make only one atop throughout the entire game.' r A shortage of ice time helps explain Zurich's Minor hockey $ teams' fiasco. It was only a week previous to the game that Zurich had completed installation 02 artificial ice In their community arena. Henceforth, we can expect improved hockey - from Zurich's minor teams. • ' Siftos Avenge Loss to Owen Sound By Sandy MacDonald Goderich avenged an earlier loss to Owen Sound when they whipped the Greys 8-5 Friday night here, although the Siftos sometimes played as though they didn't enjoy being on the winning side. The game had its moments but, for the most part, the play. ing from both sides left much to be desired. Neither team played as though it was overly. concerned about the °outcome. If you harbor silly little superstitions about hockey games such As, 'the first side to score wins the game', then Friday night's contest would have prompted you to bet your ....money on the Siftos.

MacNair, a fellow linesman and • on the second shot, he received a setup pass from defenseman Tim Gratto. • It was centre Mayo Paquette who• took • over the scoring honours during the next few ,, moments of the frame. The two goals he fired, coupledwith his first period tally, gave the' Ansonville, flyer his hat trick for the night. Steve Doak was credited with an assist on Paquette's second goal.

Goderich added a couple of insurance goals `early in the third frame. As it happened the Siftos didn't need the last two counters to win but they helped to boost their goal production and spread the scoring points around more evenly. It was Scott, No. 15, who scored the seventh goal for the Siftos at 6:33. He was assisted by Colquhoun. O'Brien slipped one past the Grey's goalie in a scramble around the net to give theSiftos their eighth and final .tally. Colquhoun again got credit for an assist.
