BANTAM - STARS
On Thursday, December 12,
the Falcons travelled to Port
Elgin only to be outskated, out-
played and oaten 8-1. This
was the first time the Falcons
have lost to Port Elgin so let's
hope it's the last.
The Port Elgin team were
winning 4-0 when Goderich's
Roger Lewis received- a.. pass
from Steve Arbour and' scored
the only Falcon goal of the
game.
Their next game is on Satur-
day night when they play host
to Kincareine, who by the way
are in first place. It is felt that
if the Falcons would only play
as a team, and not 'as in-
dividuals, they could move
'from last place to at least third.
5-1.
So far in this season's
schedule the Goderich Lions
have won 10, tied 2 and lost 1.
The Lions aro looking -10r -

Saturday, December 21 when
they encounter Walkerton in
Goderich at 7:15. Chester, . the
Lions new mascot will make his
first appearance and the draw
for the reclining chairs will be
made on that night as well.
PEE' WEE HOUSE LEAGUE
In Monday's double header,
Denomme Flowers edged
Goderich Restaurant' 2-1 in the
first garne and the two top
teams, Goderich O.P.P. and
Sifto. Salt played to a four, all
tie, in the second game.
First game, there was no
scoring in the first period, as
both goaltenders Marty Middel
for Goderich Restaurant' and
Robert Cummings of Denomme
Flowers both came u•q. with
some exceptional saves and
> tops on breakaways.
Steve • Sager opened ' the
scoring late 'in the second on a
pass from Kirk Goddard to give
Denomme Flowers a gne
nothing lead. Steve Walters
was rewarded for his efforts as
he made it '2-0 In the third
period, Wes McLean assisting.
John Ross did a lot of checking
behind the Denomme Flowers
goal, coming up with the puck
and scoring the one Goderich
Rest. goal, assisted 'by .defen-
ceman Gary ' Williams, who,
played a „strong defensive game
,for the losers.
In the second game, Sifto
Salt spotted Goderich O.P.P.
three goals in the second period
and then scored •four goals to
take a 4-3 lead, but only to
have Robert Jeffrey tie the
game with less• than a minute
remaining.
°. Scoreless first period as both
goaltenders, Brad Shortreed
and Paul Bellinger were very
strong in the nets and stopping
several breakaways Goderich
O.P.P. opened the scoring with
a man advantage as Jeff Leitch
beat Brad Shortreed from close
in, Steve Dobie made it 2-0
w*.n the Sifto Salt team had
double penalties.
The third O.P.P. goal by
Robert Jeffrey was also scored
on a power play. Defenceman
Jim' Fritzley put the Siftos on
the score sheet as he let one go
from 15 feet out to beat Brad
Shortreed and before the
second period ended, Mike
Bisset tipped in a loose puck to
make it 3-2.
The highlights of the game
was when the Sifto Salt team
had a penalty given to them as
one of the Goderich
players held on to the puck in-
side the crease. Jim Fritzley
had the opportunity to take the
penalty shot and he made no
mistake, skating in and letting
a wrist shot go to beat Brad
Shortreed and tie the game.
Starting the third period
Sifto Salt got the go•abead goal
on a three way passing play,
David Moore and Mark Car-
man set Robert Willus up to
give them a 4-3 lead. Robert
Jeffrey who was outstanding
for the O.P.P. team connected
for his second goal of the game
to tie the score four all.' with
only 30 seconds remaining.
Both these teams are well
coached 'and play good
positional hockey. Playing a
strong offensive game on
defence were Don Kloss for
Sifto Salt and Mike Paquette
for Goderich O.P.P.'s both
these players handed out some
solid body checks.
The standings as of Decem-
ber 9 are as follows: Goderich
O.P.P. and Sifto Salt are fied
for first place with, 11 points,
goal by hill Walters and it
looked like they were back in
the game, but they just couldn't
beat Port Elgin's goalie who
came u4 with some exceptional
saves in the final period.
Pete Crew and Shawn Dalton
put in a strong performance for
the Twins, and Mike Andrews
and Ed Courtney played a good
defensive game, also for the
Twins.
Port Elgin collected two
more goals before the game en-
ded. Jerry Van Hailemusch got
his second goal of the game and
Roy Rodgers his third for the
hat trick.
