heir flash in the pan days are long gone Downing the Derby handily the moved into sole possession of third place In the league rankings and applied anything but subtle pressure on second ranked Blades To use an old sports cliche the score doesn tell the real story of the game The real story actually consist of characters 19 minis and Super Flake Streetsvllle Jim Lockhurat Lockhurat was about the only plus on the Derbys side Otherwise the Geminis completely dominated a game that provided the fans on hand with some pretty fair exam pies of how to move the puck around your opponents end courtesy of the Gems It was really only the ex play of that kept the Derbys con within striking distance of the Gems It was also who provided the liveliest show on the ice constanly chattering away with the fans the players and a little too frequently the officials Which nil led one Gemini fan to tag the nickname of Super Flake on Lockhurst who we read Is a product of the Brampton and hockey setup At the other end of the Ice his counterpart Gem goalcr Rick Statistics Up to and including Sunday night action Burlington Oakvllle Georgetown Dixie Brampton Milton GA SCORING LEADERS Mark Lipnlcxy Burlington

moving from Total Sports First place was squarely on the line Sunday morning as the Georgetown Industrial Hockey Leagues squad faced off against the Total crew Both teams headed into the game tied for first with eight points each Thompson Construction was also right up there but playing the last Sinclair Sunoco It appeared that they would have the easier time of the battle for first place Behind the twogoal effort of Benny came out the eventual winner thanks to a tolly Both of Heppes goals were counted in the second period following a scoreless opening seesaw affair Hugh Williams set up his first tally and Jim HlUbouse aided on the second Holmes sparked he Total Sports attack early In the third period when he took a pass from Kevin to hit home but the spark couldn build into anything more than advantage of their Sunday outing digging the Sunoco squad a little deeper in the league basement wllh a 31 victory over All Ihe scoring In he game was packed Into the drat minutes of play Ed put the Thompson squad on the scoreboard at the 3 S3 mark on a play from Doug Hilts and Rick Thompson Bob Inglla made it six minutes later on Nerval 7 Thompson Const 7 Sandhill Total Sports 7 Royal Pizza Kings 7 Clalr Sunoco play a beautiful net The long Sunoco tally came at the 14 mark when John McKeen pass onto the stick of Dave Iron who In turn put it between the pipes Any hopes of a Sunoco resurgence ended less than a minute later when Bob Mar added the Thompson marker on a play set up by John Swan and Bruce Lewis And that was all the scoring the fans on hand far the game were going to see Sandhill In he other match Sunday behind the good shutout of Paul CaUon blanked the Royal Kings A tight game was evident In the first period when both teams failed to register any sort of scoring play but then things opened up mid way through the second as Rod Halls from Rick put Sandhill on the board Two minutes later Slokierzski finalized the scoring on a play set up by Marty Jay from Keith Halls This Sunday the Industrial hockey league will be back in full action The big game of the day will take place at when Total Sports attempt to reap revenge and get back into the battle for first They meet first place Thompson Con At 15 and the Pizza Kings take to the Ice and at 11 IS Sandhill and Sunoco face off Leading Scorers Brian Beaumont Tomklnson while not quite as noticeable was doing an equally capable it not better- after all the Gems onJob In manning Georgetown goal He particularly earned coach Paul Robinsons nod to start the game midway through the third period when the had managed to edge then- way to within one goal A bad play at the Georgetown blue line put three Derbys one defenceman away from Tomklnson and when that was drawn out of play that left Just Rick Making a beautiful pokecheck with his stick managed to knock the puck out of immediate However with that and a few other exceptions the big pressure cooker In the game was always boiling away In the Derby s end specially during the first period Doug opened the scoring for the Gems Just over six minutes into the opening frame Taking a pass from Bob Fotheringham and Terry Turner let fire with a shot that any sane man would have been ducking dldn sec It With just 30 seconds left In the first period Doug Barnes got an track for an evening hat would eventually sec him move up a few points on the Most Valuable Gemini ladder thanks to a hat trick The Geminis were Just getting over having a goal called back on them when Barnes got a chance to rack up some revenge Moving from the right side he fired high on a pass set up by Ken Kentner and Kevin Reeks Early in he second period a bad rebound from behind the net caught Gema goalie out of place and Gary Vennor was in the right place at he right time o bang the Derbys first goal of the game home Georgetown Just t pull any further ahead and with just IS seconds left in the middle stanza the Derbys hit once again to make it 32 The first two periods were marked by a number of inane battles between Gems and Derbys the worst outcome of which wan a stick swinging incident that injured a fan more than any of the players By the third period the ploy era however had ob viously got it all out of their systems and returned to their prime concern scoring Down consistently from the the Derbys realized they had to open their play up in the third They did but it back fired somewhat as Gemini players found their way to the net almost wide open A backhand by Barnes from and Bill Allison at mark put the Geminis up by two goals but that spread had a lifespan of Just about two minutes Rick Becker applied the touch that eventually proved to be he winner for the Gems taking a pass from Chris Milne to move slowly in from the right side once again At IB mark Barnes earned his free pair of pants with his third goal of he game This one after all the hard shots that the net minder hod managed to handle made It all look quite easy as Barnes merely moved straight in and Dipped an easy shot over Lockhurst s shoulder With two seconds left to play Stanflcld caught Tomklnson anticipating the buzzer to finalize the score at In total Gems Tomklnson faced shots while stopped 43 The game for the Gems comes this Friday night when they ravel dawn o for an ultra Important match against the Blades Second place In the standings could very well swing on out come of that game The Gems will be back at home the following night for a meeting with the Milton Flyers That game should be interesting If for no other reason that to compare the strategics or the two coaches Gems coach Paul Robinson is a student of Millons newly signed head man Gerry Ingles a well known name in Intermediate hockey circles here In Georgetown Ingles signed this past week to take over the coaching duties of the sagging Milton crew He has coached a number of winning teams from Georgetown including teams on which Robinson has developed his hockey thinking So It going to be a match of student versus teacher Goalmouth action In Saturdays GeminiDerby battle Raiders just cant break that old Dundas jinx That little something extra that the men from the boys the winners from the losers The Georgetown Raiders showed a remarkable lack of that his past week in Intermediate A hockey action Last Tuesday night they showed that they are definitely deserving of the number one status they currently hold in the league standings as they totally out classed third ranked Fort Erie Mavericks 11 1 That game was played in the opposition own rink The Fort Eric squad held a slight manpower advantage and yet the Raiders totally dominated the scoring Now considering that performance you would ex pect that playing before their home town fans an even lower ranked crew and facing a golden opportunity to move up even higher on the leagues ladder the Raiders would come ready and raring to give all they ve got But Friday night the Raiders before their very vocal but equally very disappointed hometown fans let the Dundas Merchants make themselves look lJcc the kings of the Georgetown dropping Georgetown Don let that score fool you If you could only stay for the first two periods you should have asked for twothirds of your ticket back While totally dominating play in a rather nondescript minutes of action the Raiders Tailed to administer the killing touch he scoring play They won the battles but lost the war One good thing about It the Raiders looked good during those first two periods Ob viously however loosing good docsn t win games The hometown crew were losing at the end of two periods The Raiders stlckhandllng was up to par and their forechecking was much more Impressive than he little swipes the Dundas forwards were taking at Raiders So what was the problem The Raiders failed to really apply pressure on the Gerry Rare were the times that Tate signs with Raiders A familiar and very popular to the Raiders following a year hustling style on the

Cotton added other two goals In paint totals Berger led with his three followed by Webster Pat Moloney and Simpson wllh wo Bill Currle Rick and with one each The shots on goal really show the lack of
