Pisani took the assist and three minutes later scored the winning goal with an assist from defenseman Kyle MacDonald. This goal assured a spot in tbe "B" division. The third period was a defensive gem with solid work by goalie Darrell Kennedy. It was a long wait until the 6 p.m. game, but these fellows were ready. Pisani and Williams started off the scoring in the first period and Kevin Pritchard put them in a win position at 6:58 in the second. Wbile Barrie came back to slip one past our tougb defence, Pisani put everyone at rest with their third goal. StilI playing tough in the defensive end, these boys were nervous. Lofgren put anotber in the net assisted by Lake in the third and Pisani earned bis hat-rick. Excellent offence and defence blew the Barrie teamn out of the water with a score of 5- 1. The team resumed league play on Sunday February 1 st. StilI pumped from their trophy winning tournament, the boys added muscle to their game. Shephard and Martin played their most physical game this year, and it sbowed in the score. Jef Dickinson and Mike Knapp were always on top of the puck. Andy Robinson scored bis first career goal. This boy had dug, in alI season and it bas paid off for the team. He was assisted by Pisani who took the second goal of the game unassisted. Pisani was injured in the third period and when play resumed, Lofgren scored the third goal of the night.
