Penalties prove costly as Ironmen tie Bulls By JIM BROWN The Advance -Times Penalties proved to be the dif- ference in the game, Friday eve- ning, as the Wingham Ironmen opened the 1995-96 Western Jun- ior 'C' Hockey League season at the Lockridge,Memoria1 Arena. The Brussels'Bu)Is scored1hree power play goals and added a shorthanded marker to claim a 4- 4 draw with the Ironmen. If the special -team goals were taken away, the Ironmen would have won the contest 4-0. The Bulls were assessed 101 minutes in penalties by referee Blake Moggy while the Ironmen were handed 69 minutes in infrac- tions. The Ironmen had good opportu- nities when they had a man advan- tage, but they were unable to ap- ply any sustained pressure. Wingham even had a two-man ad- vantage, for about a minute and a half, in the first period but were unable to take advantage of the man -advantage situation. The Bulls received 11 minor sentences in the first period alone, including double minor to Sheldon Mustard, while the Ironmen had five penalties assessed against them in the opening period. Wingham did manage to take a one goal lead in the period, despite out shooting the Bulls 18-6. Eric Sikkenga, a native of Mus- kegeon, Michigan, netted the first Ironmen goal of the new season as he fired a rebound past Bull net - minder Ryan Fisk, after Fisk had stopped Mike Heffron. Brad Anderson came close to giving the Ironmen a two -goal lead just past the five-minute mark of the middle stanza as he broke -in on a two -on -one on Fisk, with the Ironmen killing off a penalty, but, the Brussels goaltender came up with the save. However, at 53.1, the Bulls pulled even with the Ironmen as Sheldon Mustard took advantage of sloppy defensive by Wingham to get in on a two-man break away and score the equalizer. Ryan Wright picked up the assist on the power play marker. The Ironmen regained the lead at 7:55 of the second period as Brent Robinson's shot bounced off a Brussels defender and got past Fisk. Scott MacDonald received the assist on the goal. Just 40 seconds later, the Bulls again pulled even with the Iron - men on the power play. Darin Al- viano shovelled the rebound past Wingham netminder Tim Swan, after Swan made the save on Wright. Wingham regained the lead at 18:13 as Jason Becker tallied from a goal mouth scramble. Sikkenga earned the assist. With 58 seconds left in the mid- dle period, and the Bulls on the power play, Mustard tallied his second of the period as he found the top corner on the short side, with Greg Fritz acting asp decoy in front of the net. Josh Alexander and Ryan Kipfer eartted,assists,. Tim Schultz put thelronmen in front at 6:55 of the third period as he drilled long shot through a maze of players from just inside the blueline. Justin Murray and Brett Sangster received assists: Dan Williams netted the tying marker for the Bulls at 13:22 while killing a penalty. He got into the clear and backhanded the puck under Swan. The Bulls came close to win- ning the game with just over four minutes remaining when defensive player Cory Bragg had his deflect- ed shot ring off the post. The Ironmen travel to Walker- ton on Friday for an 8:30 p.m. game against the Blackhawks, and then take on the Wiarton Wolves at 2 p.m. Sunday at the Lockridge Memorial Arena. The Bulls are in Kincardine on Friday for an 8:30 p.m. game against the Bulldogs, and then play their home opener on Sunday against the Mount Forest Patriots at .2 p.m. at the Brussels -Morris - Grey Community Centre. High stickig infractions to be tightly called By JIM BROWN The Advance -Times Ontario Minor Hockey Associa- tion (OMHA) president Ken Rus- sell of Brampton told the annual minor hockey meeting of the Western Ontario Athletic Associa- tion (WOAA) last Monday that 877 match penalties were assessed during the 1994-95 season. The majority of those were for abusing the officials, he said. Rus- sell said that the number of hitting from behind penalties also has to stop. He pointed out that WOAA mi- nor hockey chairman Jack Twolan of Kincardine is responsible for assessing the length of the suspen- sion the offending player is to re- ceive. "He should give the maximum suspension (possible under the rule book)," said Russell.""If I'm not satisfied (in the length of sus- pension) I will increase it." The OMHA president said it should be up to the coaches and trainers to explain to the players what type of injuries can be re- ceived by hitting from behind, "We don't want anyone sitting out of hockey because of hitting from behind," said Russell. He pointed out that the OMHA has the nest insurance in Canada, and added that the association has the lowest liability rate, despite having four times the members as Alberta where the rates are high. Russell indicated that the rates are even worse in the Maritimes. Former OMHA referee super- visor, Dave Black of Lucknow, explained that high sticking and roughing after the whistle penal- ties will be tightly enforced this season. He stated that high sticking pen- alties will be cal)ed this season the same way they were last year. "We are trying to get the players to keep their sticks below the waist when checking an oppos- ing player," said Black, "If a player checks an opponent and his stick is above his waist, he will be assessed a two -minute penalty." He added that a five-minute penalty will be assessed if a player is injured or there is an attempt to injure. Black said that roughing after • the whistle penalties will also be enforced again this year, and there will not be coincidental penalties. He said if a player checks an opponent, after the whistle, he will he given a two -minute penalty. If the opponent strikes back, he will also be given a two -minute penal- ty along with the original offender. Black pointed out that this year there will be no whistle if the puck is shot at the goalie on a delayed offside. "If the goalie plays the puck, there is no whistle," he said. "If the puck goes into the net, the goal will be disallowed." He added if the goalie covers up' the puck, tJa face-off will be out- side the bl ne. B ck noted that if a goalie goes out of his crease to play the puck, he has to play the puck. The goalie can't just go out cover up the puck. "The flag rule will be enforced this year," he said. There was some discussion re- garding the decision that had players having to play one year of midget, before they can play jun- Please see MINOR/14 o Running On The Wingham Optimist Track and Field Club hosted its sixth an- nual 'Running on Time' in Wing-- hdm cross-country meet. , Close to 200 athletes, aged 5-14 years, from .all-over southern and mid -western Ontario .competed in the meet on Saturday.
