Curling action is underway for another season at the Richmond Hill Curling Club With one of the earlier events being the Junior-Senior Bon- spiel~ held November 18 which saw the younger skips emerging victors on both draws. It wasn't until he lifted his head that he realized that the puck had sailed past Aurora’s Goalie Peter Heint- zman catching the far cor- ner. The Rams were trailing 5-4 at the time as Pedersen blocked a clearing shot at the Aurora blueline by the boards. He wound up with a slap shot and then pitched forward on his hands and knees. Head down. VOL. 97, NO. 22. Pedersen, who managed to hook on with the Rams on defence, was the same chap who scored the tying goal at 15:28 of the final period. Un- assisted. Rams Tie Aurora Tigers 5-5 Benny Ped'ersen is an Aurora boy but he cofildn’t make the Aurora Tigers’ line-up this season.

To make things even hap- pier he was picked as one of the stars along with Aur- ora's Jim Masin and Pete Miller. Especially since he is an Aurora boy, played midget hockey there last year, and was out after trying out with the team earlier in the sea- son. Mr. Pedersen was very happy about it all.

November 23 In a recent article on your sports pages, you stated that Richmond Hill AC is the only competitive swim club that serves Richmond Hill. New- market. Aurora, Markham and Thornhill. I would like to draw to your attention that there is another swim club, Markham Aquatic Club. that works out every night at the Thomhill Indoor Pool. It is recognized by the Can- adian Amateur Swimming Association. You also mentioned that Richmond Hill is one of the newest clubs in the CASA. MARKHAM AQUATIC CLUB Dear Mr. Editorâ€" He was particularly effec- tive with the Rams shortâ€" handed as well as setting up Hartman for the Rams’ third goal which came with them playing Shorthanded. Stankiewicz was sharp all night and came up with a number of stops on The Rams started danger- ously with Bangay and Dave "Digger" Dunkley almost scoring in the early minutes but being outlucke'd. An- other near-miss in those op- ening minutes was a\ drib- bling shot by Jim 'Graham which wobbled off the post and into theAcorner. Dunkley came up with his usual maddening checking game. Another standâ€"out was Bob Bangay who was moved to centre from left wing and making it pay-off with a goal and coming close on two other occasions. But it was Pedersen win- ning the day as he counted‘ his first scoring points with’ the Rams as well as rushing well and handing out a'num- ber of punishing checks. Then along came Pedersen at 15:28. The game saw the Rams outshooting the Tigers 44 to 32 with both goalies â€" Brian Stankiewicz of the Rams, Heintzma-n of the Tigers â€" coming up with some outstanding saves as both the teams wheeled up and down the ice. Scoring for Richmond Hill was handled by the afore- mentioned Pedersen and Bangay plus high scoring Mike Hartman, Steve Mor- rison, and Stuart. For Aur- bra it was Doug Counter, Wells, Alan Hayes, Smith and Chandler. The Tigers fought back with Bruce Smith tying the game at 10:14 and then Craig Chandler putting them ahead at 14:56 with what looked like the decisive goal. It happened when Rick Febbo, another Aurora re- ject, carried the puck into the corner and whipped it out to Bob Bangay standing alone in front of the net and he put it home just as quickly. Then came the third per- iod and at the 4:30 mark the Rams moved in front by 4-3 for the first time in the game. The Tigers took an early 1-0 lead at 6:58 of the first period only to have the Rams tie it up. Ditto the second period which event- ually ended up 3-3. would like to say that ours of the Rams in a game which see-sawed back and forth throughout the 60 minutes.

Pi F-‘-“‘--------1 : JUNIOR “A” :. ‘ I-A-Il-u. I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again. You should get down there on Tuesday nights (at 8 pm) and take a look. You won’t be disappointed (Continued on Page 16) But Coach Brimblecombe seems to have that uncanny ability to get more than most out of everyone and that’s the main reason he’s been a winner for the past three seasons. Then, of course, there’s Billy Stephenson who seems to get better every time out. He’s the captain of the team and rightfully so. Sunday he was a leader, a field general, and what have you. And he was also rushing up the ice in very effective fashion with the puck. When he does that he controls the game which is also very important I won‘t go down the entire list of players but, it goes without saying, you have to have everyone going out there for you. You’re really only as good as your weakest player in the long run. - A;n always impressed by the play of “The Digger” Dunkley who has got to be one of the most aggravating players in the Provincial “A” loop. As .a rival coach put it last season in an outburst of frustration: “Every time you turn around you’re picking that $%#% little Dunkley out of your unmentionables.” That’s almost a classic and very apt description of just how effec- tive Dunkley is out there. It especially makes me wonder when I real- ize that the local club has a very good represen- tation of local and/or area players such as Dave “Digger” Dunkley, Billy Stephenson, Dave Stuart, Jim Roffey, Rob Yoteff and Goalie Brian Stank- iewicz who was a standout Sunday night along with Aurora’s Peter Heintzman. Not to mention imports such as Jack Guest, Ernie Takeuchi, Mike Hartman, Rick Febbo, etc., etc. The kids are playing their; well, their hearts out for Coach Brimblecombe (haven’t they al- ways?) and it shows in the standings. They just don’t give up. By FRED SIMPSON "Which makes me wonder why the Rams (who have never had a losing season under Coach Karl Brimblecombe) don’t pack them in as well. Sure, I'knOw the attendance is not all that bad at the local arena for Richmond Hill games but I have the feeling it could be much better. It should be. It turned odt‘to be worth the ti'ip as both teams came up with some fast-skating, strictly interesting hockey enroute to a 5-5 tie“; The thing that kind of grabbedwrfie the m'ost\wa};s the large turnout of Aurora fans. They dow‘driaw good up there. Gave my Grey Cup Liver a couple of slaps (to get it functioning again) Sunday night and tottered up to Aurora to watch the Provincial Junior “A” Rams and Tigers of that town do battle.
