The Lions expected good competition in this tilt and hit the ice well pre- pared. The checking was close and it was well into the first period before the locals scored the opener, Steve Brown as- sisted by Steve Cronkwright and Ross Cameron. In the second period New- market tied it up early but Richmond Hill came right back to take the lead again. This time it was Ross Cameron, as- sisted by linemates Dennis Acomb and Brown. The teams changed ends and the Lions held the puck well and in Newmarket’s end moved the play around and finally had a point man in position to score. Scott Mabley was assisted by “Digger” Dave Dunkley and Tommy Sanion on this one. mono mu then held the oppos- ition, who had outhustled them and at 13:30 of the second Ac- omb returned to form, carrying the puck and beating the goalie for the equalizer. In the third period Barrie broke in and took the lead again at the five minute mark, but the Lions bounced back and evened it up at 7:40, Dunkley scoring a well~earned goal, de- flecting a hard shot from pointâ€" man John Caven off Binkley. The Lions took command from here on, giving no quarter and scored at 11:25, Bolingbrooke banging it in from Cameron. At the final buzzer, the Lions had another puck in the net, but the goal was disallowed as it was ruled the game had ended first.

The Lions competition in the ice well pre- ecking was close Saturday the Lions canvassed [a portion of the town for sup~ ;port and then journeyed to 'Barrie for their second league ‘game in as many days. Barrie always produces a strong con- tender, its team having lost only one game so far this year. Barrie took over most of the play in the opening minutes and found the Lions unprotected at 1:10 of the first. Richmond Hill now decided to fight back and tied it up at 4:45, Greg Binkley scoring, assisted by linemates Dunkley and Sanlon. The clleck-‘ ing was close and the Lions con-l tained Barrie until 13:35 when they took the lead again.

No Ice Rinks Separate Schools Earlier in the month We town's parks board had of- fered to install a rink at each school with construc- tion and maintenance to be taken care of by the parks department. A rink on a parketle just outside the school gates has served St. Joseph‘s School since its opening. Howeven an unpleasant experience with a rink oper- ated by the Holy Name Soc- iety some years ago, and increasing costs of broken windows and other vandal- ism. led to the board‘s decision. It was pointed out that public school grounds are considered parkland, but this does not apply to separate school grounds. The rinks would require the gates being left open on weekends when custodians are not present, leaving the school property unprotected. There will be no skating rinks at Our Lady Help of Christians or St. Mary Im- maculate Separate Schools this year, according to a decision reached by Rich- mond Hill Separate School Board at its meeting on December 11. (Continued on Page 14 BANTAMS Sport } Spots Firstly, he’s right if I unjustly blamed him for the contest. There’s validity in his charging I was unjust in not getting his opinion at the same time. (Continued on Page 14) It’s this last statement that carries the essence of what I was attempting to accomplish but more about this later. He states that at one point in the contest he did protest to the referee over the rough play of the opposition but received little satisfaction and did not himself deserve to be criticized. He concludes saying he wouldn’t allow his team to play The Card- inals again. He objected to the charge his team played in a manner calculated to be “vicious” although he did agree such was the case with the bigger Toronto team. . “My team,” Mr. Ham said, “had only two pen- alties in a penalty filled game and at no time did I tell them to retaliate, nor did they. The boys on my team do not know how to retaliate. “I don’t teach them that brand of hockey.” Mr. Ham also pointed out that the injured hockey player on the other team suffered a twisted knee and not a concussion and it was not as the result of a “vicious” check on the part of any mem- bers of his team. Now enters Ken Ham who is coat'h of the Clean- ers and his opinions differ from Mr. Brown’s (in part) and myself. He has a right to his opinion, too, and here it is. ‘ ,v _-- _ w _-v._... I was also informed that a player from the oppos- ition had received a concussion by a charge from 3 Richmond Hill player unnoticed by the referee. These opinions were Mr. Brown’s and I accepted them as sincere criticisms on his part. accepted his right to utter them. and have no reason to disbelieve the sincerity of them. I came into the picture by blaming heads of both hockey organizations, coaches. and the game officials â€"- not the kids. m we LUI‘UIILO nocxey League.
