The Wingham Advance-Times, 1984-12-19, Page 134 Page 12—The Wingham Advance -Times, Dec. 19, 1984 Howick Minor Sports • PeeWee streak ends with Toss to Teeswater The Wingham Legion Pee- Wees played three games during the past week and did not manage a win. However in two of the three games they certainly played well enough to win and should not be discouraged by the results. Clinton 4, Wingham 3 A very determined Clinton team traveled to Wingham last Tuesday and handed the over -confident host club a 4-3 loss. Earlier this year Wingham had trounced Clinton 12-1, but in this game Clinton played well with only two lines and simply out -hustled Wingham. Coach Brown was extremely disappointed with the lack of effort exhibited by his players. The first two periods saw Clinton outscore Wingham by a count of 4-3; the third period was scoreless. The Clinton squad is back to its chippy brand of hockey and also the intimidation. This is unfortunate since they are capable of playing a much better brand of hockey. David McKee led the local team with two goals. Assists went to Robbie MacKay with two, Scott Neil, Jason Bloemberg and Todd Chadwick. Howick 1, Wingham 0 The high -flying Howick PeeWees, boasting a record of 17 wins and one loss, were in town last Friday evening. Both teams played an ex- cellent game of hockey and deserve credit for a very exciting match. The only Marker of the game came midway through the first period off the stick of a Wingham player. Had it not been for the excellent goaltending of Bill McGrath, the score could easily have been greater. McGrath continues to improve with each outing. Mane who missed the encounter between these two well -coached teams should come out and see the disciplined brand of hockey both are capable off playing. Wingham thanks Howick for •the exhibition game and wishes them well for the remainder off what appears to be a very rewarding season ahead. The local boys anxiously await a return match. Wingham 6, Walkerton 6 The Legion PeeWees in- vited the Walkerton PeeWees, who play in the B group to the north, to town last Saturday. Coach Brown tried some differentline combinations which ap- peared to prove successful. Walkerton has a well - ba lanced club which skates hard both ways and by the end of the first period it held a 2-1 lead. At the end of the second the visitors led 4-3. Early in the third, they jumped into a 6-3 lead, but Wingham scored three times to tie the game at six. The Wingham boys deserve a lot �f credit as they refused to quit and as a result came out of a very close game with a tie. The line of Jeff anis David McKee and Scott Neil and that of Rob Harrison, Rob MacKay and Steve Michie showed a great deal of determigation and effort. Mike Elmslie played well on defence, as did Don Heinmiller, Jason Bloemberg and Tim Currie. Andrew Mann and Bill McGrath shared the goaltending and were kept busy as the defence had difficulty clearing the puck in front of the net on several occasions. The PeeWees thank Branch 180 of the Royal Canadian Legion for the. Christmas party and wish all a -Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

By that time, however, the game was already out of reach as the Ironmen fell 9-4 to Port Elgin on Sunday. Victory proves elusive for Wingham PeeWees A determined group of Teeswater PeeWees ended -Howick's 18 -game unbeaten streak last Monday evening with a hard-fought 4-3 win at Teeswater. Teeswater built up a 2-1 lead after one period of play. Jason Jacobson assisted by Oliver Tritten and John Greig had the Howick scoring play.

Howick's only goal of the third period -came off the stick of Gibson, with an assist. from Robbie Van.Den Broek. Goalies at both ends of the arena played exceptionally well throughout the evening. Howick pulled the goalie with a minute remaining in the game but missed on two excellent chances to even the score. On Thursday evening the PeeWees, traveled to Mildmay for a league game. Peter Stewart and Mark Fraser combined to earn their fifth shutout of the season as Howick won the game 6-0. The team was led by Steve Gibson's hat trick and one assist.

On Sunday evening Howick defeated a strong PeeWee team from Tiverton by a score of 6-1. The team was led by left winger Gibson who had a hat trick and two assists.

Rockers record a win, a loss and two draws By Fraser Strong In their last four games, the Wingham Oldtimers Rockers have played even hockey: defeating Hensall, losing to Seaforth and tying Hanover and Seaforth. A close match was played at the Blyth arena Sunday afternoon when the Rockers hosted Hanover. Wingham led throughout most of the game, but allowed Hanover to score a late goal to tie the game at 3-3. Wingham jumped into an early lead in period one when Fraser Strong blocked a shot at his own blueline, traveled the length of the ice on a breakaway and then had to rap in his own rebound as he was stopped on the initial shot. Again i'n the first, the line of George Skinn, Bill Tolton and, Strong hemmed Hanover into its own end. A shot by Tolton appeared to enter the net immediately behind the post, then Pre -Tykes win at tournament A team from Wingham won all three of its games at a pre -Tyke tournament held on the weekend at the Teeswater arena. The tournament included teams from Tiverton, Ripley, Teeswater and Wingham. It was played in a round- robin style, with each team playing one game against each of the other teams. The tournament started at 10 a.m. and finished at 4:30 p.m. The Wingham team played its first game ,against Tiverton. Danny McPherson was, in goal.

The Wingham Super X Atoms had a good week, defeating Elma-Logan 7-0 in league play and tying Listowel 3-3 in an exhibition game. Against Listowel on Friday evening, „the local squad built up a 3-1 lead only ' to see a determined Listowel club fight back to gain a tie late in the third period. The Wingham boys ap- peared unprepared to give that little bit extra and the defencemen were not moving the puck from in front of the net. As a result, they had to settle for the tie. Marc Poulin played well and scored two goals, the other marker going to Clement Wai. Assists went to Hodgins (2), Hunter (2), Gord Welch and Wai. Wingham 7, Elma-Logan 0 The following day the boys came out fired -up and soundly defeated the host club. All the boys worked hard and hustled.

The entire team wishes all its supporters a ' Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, rebound out. Strong made sure the referee counted the goal by slapping it back into the net.

He passed to Skinn who xnade no mistake in banging home a goal for a 3-2 lead. Hanover came roaring back at the nine -minute mark to score on a breakaway and make the final score 3-3. SEAFORTH 6, WINGHAM 2 Seaforth made a return visit to Wingham last Thurs- day evening for a late night game and trounced the locals by a 6-2 count. It seemed the only bodies - from Wingham that skated for the complete game were the father and son refereeing team of Ed and Terry Deer. Wingham 'did manage to get goals from Skinn and Strong with assists going to Paul McKee, Tolton with two, and Sinn. Seaforth traveled to Blyth last week to engage the Rockers 'in aclose contest th'ended in another 3-3 tie. Seaforth showed great stamina while playing short-. handed, but Wingham was determined to look good against some excellent ' players on the "Beavers" squad. Wayne Brown opened the scoring on a bullet drive from the face-off circle when he was set up by Ross Davies. Seafforth came hack to tie the score with just over two minutes remaining in the first period when Ken Doig sent Murray Henderson in alone. Wingham again took a one - goal lead early in period two as Skinn converted a pass from Strong. However less than one minute later a good play by Doig enabled Seaforth's Bedard to notch a goal and tie the score at two. ,Seaforth took the lead in the final frame with just three minutes remaining. Luckily for the Rockers though, some dogged fore - checking by the line of Davies, John Cullen and Brown produced results with only 38 seconds remaining in the game. Davies converted passes from Cullen and Brown to tie the game at 3-3. Tolton exploded for four goals Dec. 7 and led the Rockers to a 6-2 triumph over their counterparts from Hensall. Wingham held a 2-1 lead after two periods on goals by Cullen and Tolton. The contest was not so close in the third period as the Rockers continually hemmed the Hensall five in their own end. Tolton added his "natural" hat trick in the period, aided by Ken Balzer, Skinn and Strong who assisted. Strong added the Rockers' sixth goal after a fine display of passing by Skinn and Tolton. ,4s the children nestle down to Christmas dreams, we extend happy wishes to you and your family.
