WH-ITBY FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 17,1l986 PAGE 17 Redmen lose Mann Cuup to B.C. By MIKE JOHNSTON Free Press Staff Il rained on the Brooklin Redmen parade Iast Wednesday night - it rained and it ralned. While leak i the roof at Iroquois Park had maintenance people mopping up the water inside the arena, the New Westminster Sahnonbeilies found leaks in the defence of the defending champion Brooklin Redxnen, mop- ping up the 1986 Mann Cup four games to two. The best from .the west beat the best fromn the east 8-6 and entitled the Salmonbellies to take the Mann Cup home witb themn when they return to the west coast Saturday nîglit. "We gave it our best shot but we weren't good enough," said a dlsappointed coach, Peter Vipond, after the game. While the Westmin- ster players were celebrating their. win, the Redmen were sitting i their dressing roomn thînking of what could have been. kThere were no heroie-s' for the Redmen 'this year after last year's amazing come. fromn beblnd wln. The Red- men were down 3-0 in games against the Salmonbelbîes playing on the west coast last year and rebounded to take the next four bringing the Mann Cup home to Brooklin. "We bad a lot of in- juries, but that's not an excuse. There are no excuses, we just weren't good enough," said Vipond. But the Redmen ap- peared good enough to the standing room only crowd when they had a 3-0 lead at the end of the first period. The Redmen dominated the first period offensively, taking tinie to set-Up the Westminster end- and remainlng patient until they had a good sbot. But the Redmen didn't have the same in- tensity on defence and only excellent goalten- ding by Wayne Colley preserved the first period shut out. Colley was chosen the MVP of the game for bis role . i the game, goaltender Shawn Quinlan picked up the honours for the Salmon- bellies., First period goals for the Redmen went to Bob Holder, Bill Down and Tom Wreggitt. However, it was a dif- ferent- Redaien team that, stepped onto the floor for the second and third periods, and they were outscored 2-1 in the second and 6-2 in the third, a fact Salmon- bernies coach Steve d'Easurn quickly poin- ted out. "We have neyer lost a third period," said d'Easurn after the game. d'Easum obviously enjoyed the victory, not flinching when a team member doused hlm, and members of the media*,'witb cham- pagne. "This makes up for last year,"p said d'Easuni referring to the Redmen's come from behind win. "Last year was embarrasing but this ia 50 sweet. I think it was even better winning here than at home." d'Easum didn't agree that the Redmen dominated the first period, saying that his team kept hitting the posts. "But. I just told them to keep working and working. The harder you work, eventually the breaks will come your way. The guys did it ail themselves. " Brookin went ahead 4- 0 in the second period on a goal by Dale Ker- nohan and seemed New Westminster Salmonhelies player's Steve Voelpel, captain Erie Cowieson and Lyle Robinson accept the Mann Cup from Dean Meleod third vice president of lacrosse Canada. The Salmonbellies headed to tie the series at tbree games. But the Salmonbellies soon took control of the game following two quick ýgoals. John Gilchrist put one past Colley at 16:31 of tbe second frame then Steve Voelpel scored 16 seconds later. Voelpel's goal came off a bad bounce from the wall while Colley was bebind his net. Third period goals for Westminster went to Tod Lorenz (2), Brian Nikula, Ivan Tuura, Lyle Robinson and Geordie Dean. For Brooklin, third period goals went to Bill Calan and Tom Wreggitt. Wreggitt's goal was his second of the game and came with five seconds left in the contest. After the game, Vipond bad no ex- planation for the dif- ference in bis team's performance in the first and third periods. 'We seemed to have the intensity ... I don't know." beat the Brooklin Redmen 8-6 at Iroquois Park Iast Wednesday night to win the Mann Cup series four games to two. With the series over, Vipond will now turn his attention to reconstruc- ting the team for next year. -We have some holes to fuI and I don't know if anyone is leaving," he said. "Tbey're al pretty young. " But what he really hopes to see next year is a fourtb team in tbe On- tario Lacrosse league the Redmen play in. At present, along with Brooklin, there is Peterborough and Brampton. And accor- ding to Vipond, everyone knew Brooklin would face Peter- borougb for the right to represent the east in the Mann Cup. The Western league bouses five teanis and they play a total of 24 games wbile in the east there is a 12 game scbedule. Vipond said an extra teamn would add more games to tbe scbedule resulting in better coni- petition. While Vipond now faces tbe task of * ee Press Staff Photo rebuilding a teamn, d'Eas 'um is going to en- joy the victory. "Usually when you win, five minutes later your thinking of the next gamne. But I'm going to enjoy this for a while. " After the game Dean Mcleod, third vice- president of Lacrosse Canada presented Salmonbellies captain Eric Cowieson with the Mann Cup. Geordie Dean of the Salmon- bellies was picked as the MVP of the series. EWhi.e SQUIRTS PLAY-OFFS - Sept. 8 Whitby CanadianTire.l1 Sivileneral Contracting...
