theme boys of the league like they were in first place was lucky they did or they wouldn he in the playoffs They are and that what counts Rams have lost only one of their past seven gomes mid it looks as though they make a fight for the Ontario Junior C Central division In taking on he cast and west Rut what spurred the Rams to such out Standing play recently Was it moving to Acton or was it the regaining of fans that made the team feel they had something to play for in their worst gome ployed here day according to conch Manes Rams held an impressive lead in the second half of the third period The majority of the Rams losses through regular season ploy were not mas Rams felt losses by one two or three goals no more It was their low goals against and high scoring that edged them into the playoffs after with Owen Sound they like the hot neither the lured trios qui toes or the thought of playoff action Whatever Rams may carry on their playoff play the same as last season Last year the Rams finished out the regu lar season of play in sixth spot ith points The team turned on at the start of the round robin playoffs with six wins no losses and ad lo Ihc semi finals In the semi
