With the score 2 - 1, Art Hester was called on to make a save on a penalty shot. In the last two minutes of play, Irv Gill scored on a pass from Grant Wright and David Green to make the final score 3-1. In the final game of the tournament we delivered perhaps perhaps our best team effort of the season to defeat the Corby Collection 4-2. Art Hester was again outstanding in our goal. Irv Gill scored our first two goals assisted by Joe Balson. Grant Wright then made a beautiful play, drawing the defencemeh and the goaltend- er to him as he cut across the blue line and slid the puck to Joe Balson who scored the winner as he stood all alone beside the opposite goal post. With only 2:40 left in the game, and the issue still in doubt, Gerry Henderson and Mike Roberts put on a ferocious ferocious fore-checking display in the Corby end. The puck came to Bob Hellam who out-fought two defenders along the boards and then found Ray Crombie with a perfect pass on the far- point. Ray then clinched the championship with a tremendous drive from the blue line that caught the twine just under the cross bar. Irv Gill was selected our best player in the tournament. Special mention must also go to Grant Wright who usually plays goal but was a vital factor in winning every game playing on left wing. Carnation Flower Shop CAN... _ , 1 , .
