His comments came shortly after the irrepressible Waxers had snatched victory from the Rams by scoring a shortâ€"handed goal with just a little over two minutesiremaining in_ the game. The Jewellers two quick goals in the second, one on a power play by Tony Robinson and the other by Dave Stuart who celebrated his return from a nose injury with tworover the night: Beer didn‘t see anything wrong with Kennedy’s play. In fact, he praised Kennedy for “coming to play. He’s a big, rugged kid and he likes to hit. He doesn’t go out there to fight but he goes out there to hit. Oh yes, the game. Thornhill's Mike Johns opened the scoring early in the first 20 minutes with Dynes’ Jim Clement tying it near the end unassisted. A big ouch. ' It started all so innocently. Rams‘ defenceman Bill Stephenson chased a cleared puck into his own end followed by Markham’s Dan McAleer. McAleer managed to get his stick on the puck to the side of goalie Brian Stankiewicz and suddenly the puck was homeward bound between the legs of said goalie. “Kennedy’s up from the juveniles and’he doesn‘t want to go back." Sunday‘s game saw Larry Kimble coming up with a three-goal per- formance for the Rams as he opened the scoring in the first period only to have the Waxers rap in two quick ones courtesy of Laurie Nisker. But three points out of a possible four looked pretty good to the Rams who are tangled up in a three or four club race for a playoff spot. Mag/c number “I‘d say the magic number is three,” continued coach Brimblecombe, “but you don’t worry about it. You just keep playing to win. Actually, we’re aiming for fourth place, not eighth."

The final 20 minutes saw the Rams holding the Markham boys off the scoresheet for the greater proportion of the period. Prospects for a win looked great when the Waxers walked into a penalty with three minutes and 28 seconds remaining. Didn‘t work out that way. and the Rams were back in the match. The tying goal was a neat effort as John Olds carried up-ice. cut to the side of the Markham net, and sent a goalmouth pass to Danny Jones who ticked it in.
