Ramsbouncing back! Win 2 in ram RICHMOND HILL â€" The Richmond Hill Rams put together two wins last week in Provincial Junior A action and coach Carl Brimblecombe was acting as if he wasn‘t surprised a bit. “They‘re coming, they‘re starting to get their confidence,“ said Brim- blecombe. “They‘re a very young team and it simply takes time." The Ranis‘ downed the Toronto Nats I've decided not to write a column this week. Simply because I‘m suffering from Grey Cup fever. That‘s probably even worse than Swine fever or flu or whatever. So this is simply a note to my readers, faithful or unfaithful. Hope you're lucky. J No one in'vited me to a Grey Cup party Sunday‘ So I held one of my own. Those ice cubes are murder. Motels ho The thing about these matches is they're from 500 different motels throughout the United States. That covers a lot of ground, Ed. I should also thank one Ed Wilson who very kindly, I think, dropped off 500 or so matches at the offices the other day after reading my plaintive appeal for a match in last week‘s coup disgrace. I was just beginning to get envious when Ed spoiled it all by telling me he took his wife. My matches Not to be outdone, I produced a few hundred matches of my own. From motels. too. Oh, nothing exotic. From motels in Bradford, Tavistock, Woodstock. Thamesford. Oak Ridgw. places like that. That might all sound lovely to you. Except they weren‘t originally my matches. Got them from lucky friends thh just about sums up my feelings these days. Remember? Ed, by the way, used to be the grounds keeper at the Richmond Hill Town Park back in those heady days when Russell “Casey" Cripps and his Dynes ball team were knocking off national titles and even a World‘s championship. Ed also performed tours of duty at the Richmond Hill Arena and Rich- mond Hill Curling Club before ciiéis‘tifiéis'é it's only, only December. Back to that briefly.

Big hero in the Friday night conquest of the Nats had to be brilliant goaltending of Brian Stankiewicz particularly in the second period when the Rams sat back after compiling a 2-0 lead in the first session. 500 motels scattered throughout the United States. Lucky fellow. Good news Some good news here for fans of the Oak Ridges Mid-Ontario Junior B hockey loop. The jewellers have a shot at participating in the Canada Winter Games in February. It seems that they were in first place at a certain date which qualifies them to meet Pickering and North York of the Metro league to decide a winner. Dates will be announced next week. Good shot Jewellers‘ coack Pete Artemchuk thinks his team has a good shot at it. “I don't see why not,“ he said, “I think we can give anyone all they can handle. We have great goaltending in Doug Brumwell and lots of fire power out front.“ Let‘s keep our fingers crossed.

This was the first year I didn't bet and you guessed it. I picked Ottawa for fun and they won it. There‘s something immoral about this whole situation and I don‘t like it a bit. Excuse me now while I go get my Grey Cup Fever shots or Swine fever ones or whatever they are. You can‘t be too careful these days. fred simpson Section B Great goaltending The Horse" 2 Richmond 1e is having as Dance Oak Ridges goalie Brumwell used his stick like a magic wand as he turned back the Thunderbirds to lead his team to a 4-2 win here in Mid Ontario Junior B hockey action. “What' can you say about Brumwell‘s play after you say fantastic,“ said THORNHILL â€" The Thornhill Thunderbirds ran into a magician by the name of Doug Brumwell Monday night and that was the whole story of the game. Another suddenly blooming goal scorer was Kenny Paraskevin, the ex- Michigan hockey player, who fired home three goals against the Nats and one against the Merchants. Goodline ”That whole line of Paraskevin, Danny Jones and John Olds are keeping us in there," said Brimblecombe. “Especially Olds, he‘s really going good." “There‘s no question about the fact that we're getting fantastic goaltending from Stankiewicz," said Brim- blecombe. “He‘s holding us in there. He‘s by far the best in the league in my opinion.“ The Nats bounced back in the second on goals by Phil Gaidv and Marc Duquette but the same Mr. Paraskevin off-set that with his third counter of the evening from, of course, Mr. Olds and Jones. Jones got the only goal of the final 20 minutes from Nigro and Mike Walker. Hit posts There were numerous posts and cross bars hit at each end of the rink in the wide open game which saw Stankiewicz chosen as top star of the game: Paraskevin hot Friday night‘s game saw Paraskevin fire home the first two goals to give the Rams a 2-0 bulge in the first period with assists to Frank Nigro, Bill Stephenson, Jones and Olds. Dynes The Rams-Ajax game saw the Hill team dominate the game territorially and particularly in the second period when they grabbed a 4-1 lead. Sunday‘s game in Thomhill was a tight checking contest all the way with Derrick Baker scoring for the Hill with assists to Wayne Cardwell and Wayne Harris. They were frustrated throughout by the brilliant goaltending of Mike Nash in the Ajax goal. Ajax made it close in the closing minutes by scoring twice on their in- frequent sorties into the Rams zone. There was no scoring in the first period but the Rams rammed in four in that second to Ajax‘s one.

Still looking Brimblecombe said “we're still in the market for a couple of players but we‘re going fine. We've got a lot of rookies and we‘re going against some very experienced teams.

Brumwell stops them Thornhill threw everything but a cannon at goalie Brumwell who kept right on stopping them cold. The big break for Dynes came at 10:10 while they were still short handedi Unlucky Thunderbirds‘ coach Ralph Beer thought that “we were unlucky on a couple of goals and they were in turn lucky on a couple. But they all come out as line drives in the paper the next morning." Dave Stuart checked a Thunderbird player in his own end and got the puck to Jimmy Clement who fired it home. Dale Roffey got the clincher at 12:25 from Steve Sherman. He did add that the goaltending of Brumwell “was a little unreal at times.“ Thornhill outshot the Jewellers 39-27 on the game. Ed Takamatsu was in the twines for the Birds. Beer added that it was a “hell of a hockey game and our kids played really well. We just got beat." Flat Artemchuk thought his team generally “came up flat“ except for the Thornhill Budokai Judo Club. They're savoring a trip to Mexico which saw both return with silver medals. Pholo by How Brumwell “There are just too many layoffs between games during the schedule," he said. “I'd rather play every night than have a week off occasionally. You get sluggish." Clobber Sound The Jewellers were fresh from a 9-4 clobbering of Owen Sound Tuesday night of last week. They led 3-1 at the end of the first period and 5-1 going into the third. Leading the scoring parade were Jimmy Clement with two goals; Steve Sherman, two and two; Cam Reston, three and two; and Roffey with one goal and four assists. Dave Stuart got one goal. Penyige tops at judoka In the meanwhile, the Birds were dropping a 7-2 “lack lustre" game to Midland with Gary Langfield and Kerry Pim getting the only goals.
