The Winghani irOnmen
registered their third win in
four nights MOMlaY, 1001:
Warily taking over sole
poesession of first place, one
point ahead of the Walkerton
Week Hawks. Temporarily
in that Walkerton has three
games in hand and with that
is almost certain to regain
top spot within the next week
of action.
The.. Ironmerr ,have only
three games remaining in
the regular schedule and
have possession of first place
by a slim one -point edge.
Walkerton has six games lef
to play, two of which will
against the Ironmen e
last weekend of r
season play if the sche I e is
not lengthened by post ed
games. In order to win f t
place the Wingham c1'b
must win the remaining
three games and Walkerton
must lose three of their last
six. The mathematical odds
are against the Ironmen, but
anything is possible.
The win was the result of
total team effort, but there
Were a number of standouts
in the rare Monday night
contest for the Ironmen.
Mark Fraype scored two
goals to pace the Ironmen•
attack, making the most of
his chances in the offensive
zone. He had a number of
chances to complete the hat
trick but was thwarted by
Jim Heilman, the Mustang
goaltender.
Jim Blackwell was
another prominent figure in
the Ironmen win. He was
very effective killing
penalties and was more than
dangerous in an even man
situation. Blackwell was on
the ice for all four goals and
was responsible for setting
IT three of the four markers
for tho Wingham cause. It
should be noted that Black-
well was dressed to play goal
clue to the late arrive of Doug
Gamble, who was delayed in
leaving London for the
game. He warmed up in goal
and was prepared to Play
between the pipes if Gamble
had not made it for the
game.
Doug Gamble, who has
played goal for the last three
weeks due to an injury to
Don Higgins, had his
troubles earlier in the even-
ing, but dld a great job in net'
after an unsettling event and
less than desirable weather
to get to the match. His per-
formance under the cir-
cumstances was admirable
and exemplified a great
team spirit.
Including the game with
the Mustangs, his record
over the past three games is
enviable. He has surren-
dered four goals in three
games, an average 1.33 per
game, putting the duo of
Higgins and Gamble in the
running for the t average
in the league geinto the
last three contests.
The first period featured
very close checking as the
Mustangs, who are last in the
league, fought desperately to
keep their 'slim hopes of a
playoff berth alive. Neither
club gave the other much
room, but there were a
number of good scoring
plays none -the -less. Gamble
was forced to make a key
save in the early going,
stopping al chest -high shot off
Larry Daer after he picked
•
up n:-page--fram. the itopier.
Grant 00y scored the lone
goal of the OHO on a
dribbler .after tipping a
weird carom off the back-
boards past a paralyzed
Cllnton goalkeeper.
The second wind whit:the
two chit* exchange .goals,
with the iroilinen-SoffOriag
'from ,a long. streak ,Of
penalties. They struck for
short-handed goal and were
lucky to survive a man -short
situation for 10 of the ,20
minutes in the, period. Mark
Frayne struck gold when he
backhanded one through
Heilman's legs at 11:16, after
Blackwell had worked hard
in the offensive zone,
knocking a defender off the
puck. With just under five
minutes remaining in the
period, Greg Hallam placed
a perfect shot to the bottom
right hand corner of the net
after Greg Flower won the
face-off. That made things
close, but excellent goal-
tending and good work by the
defence kept the Mustangs
off the scoresheet for the
duration of the game.
In the final frame Mark
Frayne struck for his second THE PUCK CAME LOOSE In froht4iffhe Wingham
of the night, deflecting Len net but no one could get a stick on fOliowinel save
Stamper's point shot at 3:55.
At 17:33 Pete Goodall put the
icing on the cake when he (
redirected Tom Remington's
point shot. Heilman was
screened on the play and had,
no chance on the shot.

For the Ironmen it was a
critical win and a well
deserved one by all the
members of the club. It was,
on one of the few occasions, a
win from their own blueline
out.

Len Stamper scored one
goal and assisted on three
others, pacing the Wingham
Ironmen to an 8-1 trouncing
01 the Kincardine Kinucks in
Kincardine on Friday night.
The rout was due to four -goal
outbursts in both the opening
and the final periods of the,
game Kincardine notched
the only goal of the middle
frame and both teams
played fairly evenly
throughout the second
stanza.
For Stamper it was the
biggest point production of
the year. Before Friday
night's game he. hadone goal
and four assists in 22 outings.
He almost doubled his sea,,
son total with his perfor-
mance in Kincardine.° .
He logged quite a.bit of ice
time in his defensive role due
to a lack of personnel. Mike
Montgomery is presently out
of action due to pulled -liga-
ments in his shoulder suf-
fered during Sunday's game
against the Kinucks, and
Dennis KnoX was unable to
play. Ed Bellies was ejected
, along with Brian Tenpas for
not moving to the neutral
zone quickly enough during a
fight. The ruling was a judg-
ment calland their services
were missed during the re-
mainder of the match.
The Ironmen opened the
scoring at 6:26 after Mark
Frayne won a faceoffin Kin-
uck territOt*. He directed
',-the puck i*e,lt to.the point
then movelboward the net
as a aseesraper drilled
One ihritrs ,goalie Terry
Yourth's stick..then flipped
high:over his shoulder. Less
than a minute later Tenpas
made it 2-0 as Jay MacLau-
rin dumped the puck into the
corner to the left of the
Kinuck goal. Tenpas picked
up the puck then, firing from
a very sharp angle, found the
far top right hand corner of
the net.
Larry Donaldson in-
creased the lead with a drive
from the blueline after
carrying the puck up from
his own end. The shot
seemed to rise a little 6Itid
then, because it was flipping
end over end," began to dip
eluding Yourth's grasp. Just
over a minute later Tom
Remington connected for his
13th goal of the year, de-
flecting a shot by Stamper
from the point. After one
period of play the Ironmen
' -
had a solid 4-0 lead.
Things turned around a bit
in the second period as the
Kinucks displayed some ex-
cellent moves. Craig Wiese
made - a number of good
rushes, stick -handling
through players with ease,
He would either be stopped
by the last defender or by
Doug Gamble, who
surrendered but one goal and
that one to Wiese, who
stepped over the Ironmen

The Wingham Ironmen
had two -goal performances
frotn Mark Frayne, Pete
Goodall and Ken Cousins in a
9-2 romp over the visiting
Hanover Barons Sunday.
,The win was sweet revenge
for the Ironmen, who suf-
fered a thrashing at the
hands of the Barons in Han-
over just over a week ago.
The Barons outskated the
Ironmen in the opening
minutes of the game, but
solid goaltending by Doug
Gamble kept the home club
in the match ,before it got
rolling. At 4:36 Pete Goodall
gave the Ironmen the lead
with the first of five power-
play goals. Jay MacLaurin,
who played one of his
stronger games, won the
faceoff to set up Goodall's
point shot,
At 8:34 Dave Kieffer upped
the lead as he redirected a
shot ; by MacLaurin while
parked at the goaltriouth.
Just. past the midway
mark Kevin Pfeffer brought
the Barons to within one goal
when 'he converted a pass
from Bruce McLaughlin
after a scramble along the
end boards. Cousins quickly
restored the two -goal, margin
on the powerplay; when he
redirected a lint shot by
Dennis Knox. The Barons

goal, but trailed 3-1 inthe

goal.
Doug Speer replied for the
Barons midwaythrough the
period for the final goal by
the Hanover club, when he
battled the loose puck past
Gamble after two ries.
Third period action
featured a four -goal outburst
by the IrOnmen as well as
tight work by the defence.
Frayne got his second goal of
the afte\rnoon when he
pumped one by the glove
hand of MacAulay at 4:04.
Ken Cousins kept pace,
notching his second goal
when he snapped a wrist shot
from the slot, beating
MacAulay on the stick side.
At 10:28 Brian Tenpas
blasted one by the hapless
netminder 23 seconds after
Cousins' marker. A late
powerplay goal by Goodall
rounded out the scoring for
the match. .
For the second consecutive
home game a number of
players suffered minor in-
juries due , to the heavy
hitting, however it did not
appear that any were of a
serious nature.
Mark Frayne was the first
star of the game with his two
goal performance. Tom
Remington was the second
star with three assists for the+
Ironmen. Doug Gamble was
the third star, earning the
win by stopping 37 of 39
shots
Debbie Bauer was the
winner of $28.50 in the 50-50

That was the only scoring
play but both; -clubs
threatened and both net -
minders carne "through with
some big saves.
In the final frame the Iron -
men got rolling again at 5:49
when Pete Goodall blasted
one from the point, beating
Yourth on the stick side,
Donaldson scored his second
of the evening, converting
the second rebound after
Remington and Stamper
were shirt out. 4t,14;z9.Pal,T,
Kieffer made it 7-1 when he
redirected a Len Stamper
shot from the point. Jim
Blackwell rounded out the
scoring on an identical play.
Gord Kinahan (who did not
get an assist on the play)
controlled the puck in Kin-
cardine territorj& He fed
Mark Frayne in the slot.
'Frayne fired a shot toward
.the net with Blackwell
screening and Jim was also
able to deflect the puck to
give the Ironmen a -corn-.
mending 8-1 • lead. Gamble
continued to play 'Solid goal
and shut out the Kinucks for
the remainder of the match.
. The win snapped a two -
game losing streak for the
Ironmen. Kincardine's poor
showing was due to an in-
complete roster. Ken DQU-
. cette, their starting goal -
tender, was out of the line-
up, as. well as three of their
starting forwards. That, in
'effect, made the difference.
