Zurich Citizens News, 1976-02-25, Page 7Belmont take three
to regain series lead
The Exeter Hawks find them-
selves on the brink of elimin-
ation in the first round of play
in the Ontario Hockey Assoc-
iation Junior "D' western division.
After winning the first two
games of the best -of -seven series
over the Belmont Ronwood
Bombers, the Hawks lost three
consecutive games this .. week.
The sixth contest was played
Tuesday night at the Zurich
arena.
Wednesday night at Belmont,
the Bombers won 5-3, they took
the fourth game in Zurich. Sat-
urday by a 5-4 score and Sunday
on home ice at Belmont they won
by a score of 7-3.
In Belmont Sunday they were
in the thick of contention for al-
most two periods. They held a
2-1 edge at the end of the first
20 minutes of play and it took
three Belmont scores in the last
two minutes of the middle frame
to erase the Exeter margin.
After Barry Landon opened
the scoring for Belmont early
• in the first period, Brian Taylor
hit for the Hawks on pas9es from
Gerald Weido and Matt Muller
and John Van Gerwen converted
passes from Rick Grenier and
Ken Pinder.
Rick Landon, Paul Logan and
Barry Landon scored for Bel-
mont in the middle frame and
Paxil Buchanan, Darrell Simpson
and Lane counted in the third .
period.
The final Hawk score came
from the stick of Gerald Weido
on an unassisted effort with less
than two minutes remaining
in the game.
FAIL ON POWER PLAYS
The failure of the Hawks to
take advantage of numerous
Belmont penalties, especially in
the second period proved to be
costly in Saturday's 5-4 loss.
Midway through the middle
frame. the Exeter club enjoy-
ed a two. man advantage for at
least six minutes. They did score
two goals during some of the
penalties but failed on many other
opportunities.
Belmont took 22 of 35 penalt-
ies called by the officials.
-The first period ended in a
2-2 deadlock. Fred Mommersteeg
scored the first Hawks goal on
a three-way effort with Ken Pind-
er and Noel Skinner and Pinder
found the Belmont net on an
unassisted effort.
Gary Armstrong fired both
Belmont scores in the first period.
Rick Landon shot Belmont
into a 3-2 lead at the 35 second
mark of the second period but the
Hawks came back to gain the
lead with two successful shots
in the balance of the period.
Gerald Weido tied the score
on a good solo effort and John
Van Gweren put the Hawks
ahead for short time as he
finished off a play started by
Ken Pinder and Fred Mommer-
steeg.
Belmont held a wide edge in
territorial play in the third period
and only excellent work by Randy
Lovic in the Exeter nets kept the
score to 5-4.
Barry Landon scored the tying
and winning goals for Belmont
in the third period.
Wednesday in Belmont, the
Hawks stayed with the Bombers
for only the first period. •
Fred Mommersteeg notched
the only goal of the first period
for the Hawks on a pass from
Noel Skinner.
With Belmont leading 5=1
late in the third period, Noel
Skinner hit for the Hawks on a
pass from Fred Mommersteeg
and Ken Pinder converted a pass
from Skinner.
Mommersteeg hospital
Will Miller close it?
Despite Health Minister
Frank Miller's many hospital
closings through -out Western
Ontario, one home in the, Zurich
area resembled a hospital Mon-
day morning.
It was the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Fred Mommersteeg at
RR 2 Zurich. Fred is the manager
of the Exeter junior hockey team
and two of his sons are members
of the team.
Saturday night Rick suffered
a broken arm in a playoff game
against Belmont and the follow-
ing night Fred Jr. broke a leg
in playoff action in Belmont.
To compound the Mommer-
steeg injury situation, a younger
son Bob who plays with the
Zurich bantams was -hit in the
eye with a puck Sunday night.
It was the second .time this
year that the three Mommersteeg
boys were needing hospital
care.
Several months . ago, Fred Jr.
suffered a broken arm in a game
in Lucan, Rick was laid low with
blood poisoning and Bob twisted
an ankle while at school.
Fred Jr.'s current leg injury is
actually a broken knee joint and
he will be wearing a cast for the
next eight weeks.
