Huckle. who picked up a shutout in a 6â€"0 win in the secâ€" ond game, enabled Siskins to take a 2â€"1 lead in the first period Wednesday although Greys held a 17â€"7 shooting edge. â€" Many of the Owen Sound people felt the Greys would eliminate the Siskins, and a couple of them still felt the Greys were just as good as Waterloo after Wednesâ€" day‘s loss. Greys outshot Siskins in the last three games, inâ€" cluding 41â€"26 Wednesday, but were continuously frusâ€" trated by goaltender ‘Kevin Huckle. Proprietor Gary R. Voigt ‘‘*And we‘ve been lucky to get it. We made a lot of mistakes tonight, but we made up for them with goals. I thought Owen Sound proved that they have a good skating club. But once Greys had a chance to get back in the game late in the third period when they trailâ€" ed 7â€"5 and were pressing. But their faint hopes were ruined by Rob Freeman‘s vicious attack on Joe Marâ€" caccio of the Siskins. Freeman, who twice in earlier games had chased after Waterloo captain Dean Woelfle. but with no luck. wrestled Marcaccio to the ice in the Siskin end. As Marcaccio went down, his helmet flew off and he hit his head on the ice and was knocked out momentarily. As he lay there, Freeman punched him hard in the face and skated away. they got their momentum goâ€" ing, they ruined it by takâ€" ing stupid penalties." twoâ€"minute roughing penâ€" alty. * The Siskin fans were furious with Freeman, who needed a police escort to the dressing room. But before he got there, a Waterioo fan drilled him in the face. With Freeman gone, Sisâ€" kins‘ hardâ€"shooting _ Dan Morris fired a powerplay goal at 19: 15 to seal the triâ€" umph. Morris was the scoring star for Waterioo with three goals, his first hat trick of the year. He blasted a slapâ€" shot past Dan Sturrock only 19 seconds into the game after taking Woelfle‘s passâ€" out, and he notched his secâ€" ond goal at 11:45 of the third on one of his patented bullets from inside the blueâ€" line. Jim Young. a tireless cenâ€" tre, scored two goals for Waterloo. He gave Siskins a 5â€"4 lead at 1: 54 of the third period and then sent them ahead 6â€"5 at 8:45 when his centring pass hit an Owen Sound defenceman‘s stick and caromed into the net. â€" Defenceman Barry Musâ€" selman stole the puck at the Greys‘ blueline and scored a breakaway gaal for Waterloo, while Dave Barrow and Tom Graham added the other markers.

Photo by David‘s Photo Studio It was the most exciting game of the series, with the teams breaking into wideâ€" open hockey in the second period and whipping in four goals in a threeâ€"minute span to tie it up 4â€"4. After Young scored early in the third period to make it 54, Patterson evened the count at 5:29 before Siskins pulled away and advanced to the OHA â€" semiâ€"finals against the winner of the Bramaleaâ€"Markham series, which Bramalea leads 3â€"2. and Larry Patterson replied for Greys. . ‘‘We just gave the puck away too much and, like I‘ve said all series, we didn‘t capitalize on enough of our chances,"‘ said Greys® coach Dave McComb, whose team took 10 of the 18 penalties. Huckle, who let a couple of shots dribble into the net through his pads, more than made up for it as he faced 17 shots in the first period, 13 in the second and 11 in the third. ‘‘But we‘ve had a good year, especially since we beat Collingwood, (for the Midâ€"Ontario title) when a lot of people thought we wouldn‘t. The guys gave their best and that‘s all you can ask."~
