Steeler goaltender Bill Mor- rison held the Woodstock team off the scoresheet un t il 7:1 5 of the third period when Scott Talbot b I a s ted ¿ slapshot at the young netminder. Mor- rison played the shot like a pro, but could not hold theblisteringshot in his glove. The puck dropped and rolled into the net. The teams ended regul ation time tied at 1-1. In the ten minute overtime period, both teams had a number of good chances, but coul d n ot cap i ta lize on any of them. With Woodstock ne eding but a tie at home, the Steelers travelled to Woodstock on Tuesday, March 28. T h i n g s vent wrong for the Steelers from the time the bus drivermissed the turn and had to take the next interchange and travel back to the original turn. Poor ice conditions Upon arrival at the Woodstock Arena, the Steel- ers found the ice in terrible shape due to a carni- val held earlier. Woodstock officials assured the W h itby team that the ice would be ready by 8:30, although game time was supposed to be 8:00 p.m. A f ew m i n u tes later, the Steelers were told that the game was being moved to the Civic Cen- tre as the ice was okay over there. When the team a r r i v e d a t the Centre, they found that the time ci o ck was not working properly. The clock was repaired, and the game got star ted at approximatel y 9:00. The first period ended in a scoreless tie, but Da ve MacQueen scored unassisted at 18:07 of the secondperiod. Thiswas all Woodstock needed, as neither team scored in the third. Whitby was out- shot in all three periods, but they did have a num- ber ot good scoring chances late in the third. Shots on goal for the game were 44-23 in fav- our of Woodstock. It was a sad ending for the Steelers as they had won Central Ontario, North- e r n On tario and the Eastern Ontario Champion- ships by defeating Ajax, Lindsay and Belleville in that order. The team under the guidance of Manager "Dutch " Mo r r i son, Coach Joe Rowley and Team Tramner Gond Kinzie, represented the Town of Whitby in a m osft tavourable w ay , showing nothing but good sportsmanship in every game whether they won or las t . The boys of this year's Lasco Steel Pee- W e es will move up to Minor Bantam next season, and will probabl ybring mar e ch ampionships ta the Town of Whitby.
