OAK RIDGES â€" The Richmond Hill Dynes Jewellers bounced back to down Orillia Travelways 6â€"4 in overtime on the strength of two goals by Dave Stuart Monday in Mid Ontario Junior B Whip Orillia 6-4 Dynes bounce back in overtime Frustrated? Try being a Hill Ram Quite a game and the Rams are definitely in trouble. Mark my words. There’s so little difference between these two teams they might never be able to finish the series. History will record the Rams went into the 10-minute overtime frustrated and came out of it on the verge of collective breakdowns as they led once more 7-5 only to have the hyper Waxers tie it up at 7-7. That‘s the way it remained. I was half-way out the door when the resulting face-off saw the Waxers put the puck home at almost the same time as time ran out. Breaking up time What a furore that followed. A psychiatrist should have been rushed to the side of Rams' coach Carl Brimblecombe. In fact, he'd have been able to treat all the Rams at this juncture. They led the game three times and looked like sure 5-4 winners with only two seconds to go. Two seconds, mind you. It‘s enough to make you take life segiously. They headed into the game losing the best-of-seven Provincial Junior A series two games to one (having lost &5 Saturday night at the same place) desperately. as they say, needing a win. Undaunted, I Inodnteâ€"d my "Maverick" and wheezed out to Markham Centennial Arena where alL the action was happgning. _ Sure was happening: I cohvinced the guy taking the tickets I was Pierre Burton ( at first he thought I was a lowly sportswriter and wanted to charge me) and settled down to watch the game. Black Rock Talk about a bad day at Black Rock for the Rams? Here's the scene. But you just can’t avoid talking about such things as hockey playoffs which are currently thrilling us all to death in Richmond Hill, Thornhill and you just name it. That's what happened to me Sunday night. I dug my old compass out, pointed it in the direction of the Rams-Markham game, and got lost. Where to? Just don't know how I do it. I pulled confidently into the parking lot of the arena that sits beside High- way 7 and 48 and headed into the building. Very nice arena except the Rams an}! Waxers weren‘t playing there. There are so many things hap- pening these days I don’t know where to begin. That’s not good. It worries me. Richmond Hill Rams’ Brian Stankiewicz has a somewhat frustrating time as Doug Todd (14) puts the puck home in this Happenings happening By Bob Hughey There are days like this The next ball meeting, by the way, is Feb. 28 at 8 pm. at the Richmond Hill Arena. You’re welcome. I’ve had more fights with Casey over the years than some wives have had with their husbands. The next day we can‘t even remember what it was all about. Life goes on. Interfere and you end up in the intensive care ward while the other couple end up holding hands, billing and cooing. Something like that. I can only say as an outsider that Glen has been president of the association for the past six years and I think he‘s done a fine job in a somewhat thankless position. I like him. Casey Cripps? A volatile but essentially good-hearted little guy who has a bark much, much, worse than his bite. In my opinion both Glen and Casey, in their highly individual ways, have contributed much to softball in this town. We need them So I‘ll end by saying it‘s my feeling Glen should once more take up the gavel and continue doing the job he has, in my opinion, been doing pretty well. Wouldn‘t surprise me to find out Mr. Cripps agrees with me. Life goes on And that’s what the Richmond Hill Ball Association should do now. Get on with life. Well now I suppose I should comment on that little upset over Glen Philip resigning as president of the Rich- mond Hill Ball Association and, at the same time, sort of lambasting the Dynes Jewellers’ Casey Cripps. I’m not going to get too involved because such situations remind me of certain domgstic disputes. The name of the game is assuring. the youngsters in town get a chance to play softball. My advice to you is to get to the games and see the action. Another thriller That includes the Dynes-Orillia series which is (as of writing) now tied at one game apiece after Monday night‘s sensational 6-4 overtime win by the Jewellers at Bond Lake Arena. The eruption boiled over regar- ding the Jeweller’s original desire to play Thursday nights instead of Tuesdays. Briefly that started it all. Now let’s see. What else shall we talk about now. Fred Simpson The Dynes, after dropping the opening game 6-3 in Orillia Feb. 14, have deadlocked the best of five game series at one game apiece. playoff action at Bond Lake Arena Orillia struEk firs-t with a shor- thanded goal by Brian Clark at the 29 Saturday game at Markham which was won 6-5 by the waxers. The frustrations got even worse Sunday as the somewhat There was no further scoring in the third period, although the hard, fast pace produced many opportunities. Overtime Just 22 seconds into the 10 minute The Richmond Hill lead didn‘t last long as Orillia’s Brian Clarke scored, less than two minutes into the third period, to bring the teams even again at 4â€"4. Tim Lutes and John Buchowski received assists on the play. Go ahead Dynes went ahead, for the first time, 4-3 on a Tony Robinson goal at 14:50. Brian Carruthers and Larry Gueran picked up,.assists. Jim Roffey ties it Jim Roffey evened it up at 2-2 as he took a pass from Larry Gueran and let a blistering slap shot go to score a Shorthanded goal at 7:57. Less than a minute later, Orillia went back in front on another power play goal by Bo Schryer. Assists went to Brian Clarke and Ernie Jewel. Richmond Hill opened quickly in the second period with a marker by Dale Roffey at the 15 second mark to tie the game. Greg Bogaerts and Jim Roffey drew assists. Bo Schryer put Orillia in front with a power play marker at 5:24. Assists went to Brian Clarke and Jerry Cun- ningham. The first period ended with Orillia leading 3-2. second niark of the first period. Ernie Jewel received an assist. Jim Roffey replied for the Dynes less than four minutes later on passes from Dave Stuart and Vince Giles to even the count at 1-1. And here they come. Around the turn! Just imagine the noise that’s happening here as these three racing snowmobiles roar to the beleagured Rams did everything but win a game which saw them leading at least four times before tying it 7-7' in overtime. Steady on the turns, fellas overtime (most goals scored) Dave Stuart swept in with a man on his back and lifted the puck over the Orillia goaltender’s shoulder. Relays from John Lenneville and Jim Roffey sent Stuart in for the marker. Dave Stuart tallied again with 1:50 on the clock. Greg Bogaerts drew an assist on the goal which gave Dynes a 6-4 lead and clinched the victory. Dave Stuart he’s a hero finish line in the annual Richmond Hill Kinsmen Heritage Snowmobile races Sunday that went on despite an earlier (Photo by H099) I read with interest your report of the resignation of Glen Philip as chairman of the Richmond Hill Ball Association. You stated, and I quote, “in an ob- vious reference to manager Cripps, Glen said that he didn’t want to dwell on all the problems we have had with the management of the Dynes ball club." Dear editor: Mr. Cripps replies Rams’ goalie Brian Stankiewicz was so incensed he walked into a game misconduct and his position was taken by young Tony Bak in the final equally bizarre 1&minute overtime. Must game The Rams, coming off a 6-5 loss Saturday night here, knew this one was a must game with Markham leading the series two games to one after taking the first one 5-4, losing the next one by a same 5-4 count. Impossible? Certainly Richmond Hill Rams' coach Carl Brimblecombe thought so as evidenced by his raging along with all of the Rams and some of the Richmond Hill fans. It was the fourth game of their best- ofâ€"seven Provincial Junior A quarter final playoffs and the Rams were just two seconds away from a 5-4 win when the Waxers managed to score from a face-off. In Saturday’s 6-3 loss, Orillia lead 2-0 on first period goals by Jerry Cun- ningham and Dave Nicholson. MARKHAM â€" The Richmond Hill Rams had more hang-ups going for them than a clothes-closet when they skated off the ice Sunday night shakin clutching a 7-7 tie with the Markham Waxers. Artemchuk also praised the crowd for; their tremendous support. “What a help that crowd”. “We replaced Harold DeGeer with Doug Brumwell at the beginning of the second and even after being cut in the third played a steady game in goal,” he said. Santa Claus like Dynes’ coach Peter Artemchuk said. “we started out playing Santa Claus in the first period as we gave them three goals â€" a repeat of the last game when we gave them five goals.” “But the guys caine back big," he said. “Jim Roffey played one of the most outstanding games he has played this season for us with two goals and two assists," said coach Artemchuk. Stuart the hero “Stuart came up with a big goal in the overtime," said Artemchuk. Richmond Hill looked like winners Impossible? Wednesday, February 18, 1976 Iilm'al downpour of rain which threatened to call off the proceedings. Inset is big winner Bill Moffatt of Agincourt. Classified A fan bus will be leaving from Bond Lake Arena at 6:45 for the Dynes game in Orillia on Sat, Feb. 21. Game time is 8 p.m. For tickets phone 773-4119 or 773-5881. Monday, Feb. 23 will see the Dynes at home to Orillia at 7:30 pm. There was no scoring in the third period leaving a final score of 6-3 for Orillia Travelways. Two goals by Jerry Cunningham and one by Tim Lutes left the Dynes trailing 6-3 at the end of the second. What you failed to reveal, however, was that Angus Philip, Glen’s father, was until this year the business manager of the Dynes ball club and as such was the club’s spokesman and liaison with the ball association. Yours truly, Field Manager, Russell “Casey” Cripps. The Richmond Hill Dynes Jewellers came back with goals by Dave Stuart from John Lenneville and Ian Crock- ford and Larry Gueran assisted by Brian Carruthers and Tony Robinson to tie the score at 2-2.‘ Orillia went up by one on a goal by Ernie Jewel. Steve Sherman knotted the score early in the second period. Assists went to Kirk Stover and Neil Crockford. Bak, who has been héed sparingly, looked like a hero when he made a fantastic stop on a Markham sure-goal Everyone was ready to go home, again, when Febbo chopped the puck past the Markham goalie with less than three minutes to go. Did it again That’s when the fates threw mud at the Rams and goalie Bak once more in a Hollywood scenario-type ending. No way Richmond Hill supporters main- tained vehemently there was no way you could score a goal in two seconds. But it was a goal. The overtime period saw the Rams appear to wrap up the game for sure as Clement scored his second counter of the night on a deflection with only 4:41 left. several times in the first three periods leading on three occasions on goals by Joe Greentree, Myles McCauley, two, Rick Febbo, and Jim Clement. Fateful face-off Then came that fateful final two seconds with some people half-way out the door, a resultant face-off with Markham's goalie out. and bang, bang, tie game.
