ICE CHIPS—Solid checking by Wingham seems Kiflccirdine Kinu.cks clip Ironmen By Peter Bauer The - Wingham Ironmen suffered their second con- secutive loss Sunday after- noon, the longest losing streak to date for the club in this year's campaign. The game was played in front of one of the smallest crowds seen at the Wingham arena. Whether Sunday's turnout was the result of the pro foot- ball game or not, recent gate totals have been con- siderably lower than at any previous time. The only major fan support came as the Ironmen faced off against the Walkerton Black Hawks. It is puzzling to make this observation, because of the calibre of play. The Ironmen have had their share of troubles, but for the better part of the season have played good hockey, especially at home. In 12 games at home so far this season the Ironmen hold an impressive 9-2-1 record. The two losses • were 1-0 to Walkerton and Sunday's 3-2 loss to Kincardine. The Iron - men carne back from a three goal deficit to tie Fergus 5-5 in the only other game that did not result in a win. With a 'record like that it's really hard to understand why the players must perform before such a small number of onlookers. The game+:itself featured, ctwo fast -skating clubs, with' strong physical play in the corners. There were . two injuries resulting from the checking. One player from each club left the" ice following two separate clealn checks. .• The ' Irons nen emerged from the first jiea`'i"-'odleading 14.on-.a-.late powerplay goal by Mark Frayne. Gerd Kinahan did most of :the work on the goal, as ire dug , the: puck loose in the corner, , outmusdling' :the .Kinuck defender,• then centered the puck . toy Frayne 'who Was parked to' the goalie's ;left side. Frayne had an easy tip - in giving the hone the lead. at • 1.8:18' for the only time in the game.. Second period action saw the Kinucks take a 2=1 lead on two quick goals just 36 seconds apart. At 5:54 Andy Chaput drilled one by Doug Gamble as he threaded the needle slipping the puck past Gamble on the short side. At 6:30 Grant Gilchrist gave the Kinucks a 2-1 lead as he flipped the puck over a downed netminder after Gamble blocked Dan Wiikin's shot. Craig Weise made it 3-1 at 5!04 of the final frame and s goal proved to be the e ntual game winner. Weise stepped over the Iro _' en line and then just ' aster! one past Gamble's glo e hand. At 8:27 the Ironmen came within one goal off their opponents as Dale Whitfield flipped a close shot over a sprawled Ken Doucette, after he made the first stop on a Mike Montgomery shot from the blueline. Both teams had great scoring chances after that goal but neither made good on their opportunities. Larry Donaldson rang a shot off the post with just over four minutes remaining and Jim Blackwell fired wide off the ,mark on a breakaway. The Ironmen .were Juclry-at the other end as the Kinucks hit the cross bar on a rising shot that handcuffed Gamble. Craig Weise was the first star of the game,, notching the winner for the Kinucks, and Gord Kinahan was. the second star; dennitiating the Irpnmen ' effort with his steady performance.. Kina- han continues to play solidly in his 'defensive role and added to that plushy making a ' .number pf • dangerous forays into the offensive zone setting up the first Ironmen goal. Ken Doucette was the third star of the game, earning the win for .the visiting Kinucks who are trying tosolidify a playoff berth. 1Rie Ironmen will have a rematehl`Iwith the Kinucks this Fri y, Jan. 16, when they travel to. Kincardine. They will host the Hanover Barony in Wingham on Sun- day afternoon looking for revenge on the Barons who defeated the home club 8-1 in Hanover last week.

When they forecheck, they win! KINCARDINE NIPS WI'NGIIAM, 4-3 Kincardine won a hard fought 4-3 victory over the Wingham Bantams on Jan. 10 in the Lockridge !Kentorial Arena in Wingham. . Former Winghamite Rob Strong led the Kincardine attack with a goal and an assist. Wingha,>!,n took a 2-1 lead early in the firstperiod on goals by Doug McFarlan, assisted by Brett Cameron and Mike Houghton, and Cameron, assisted by McFarlan and Houghton.

But the lead didn't hold up, as Kincardine scored two more goals to make the final score, Kin- cardine, 4; Wingham, 3. ICE CHIPS—After two rather lack -lustre games, coach Fraser Strong 'seems to have his Wingham Ban- tams back on the track. They showed a lot of hustle in this exhibition match.

That chat* has: vLr - tually disappeared after the dismal 'outcome of , this contest. The first period had little action to speak of, as there was a combined total of 13 shots on goal. Neither club had any coordinated of- fensive effort, and the defence was very disorganized. The Barons emerged with a 1-0 lead with just 54 seconds remaining in the period. Joel )(lessen was deep in the corner when he attempted to pass out front to his linemate on the op- posite side of the goal. Ills pass hit the. blades -of Tom Remington and deflected into the net for the only scoring play of the first period. That goal seemed to reflect the fortunes . of the Ironmen for the 'remaining 40 minutes of play.

It was a poor defensive showing as well as a poor offensive effort. If there is such a thing as one bad game in the year,' this has got to be it.
