"That's why I kept them out there. And you don't see Joe (Young) miss- ing a chance like that very often. .. The victory kept Siskins breathing down the neck of the first-place Stratford Cullitons in the Midwestern Ontario Junior B league. Siskins won twice earlier in the week, 8-4 in Kitchener Thursday and 7-0 over New Hamburg Friday to keep pace with Stratford. losers of only one game. Young's goal spoiled a spirited performance by the tight- checking Sugar Kings who rallied from a two-goal deficit to tie 3-3 midway through the third when Morley Bosom- worth clicked on a powerplay to register his third goal of the night. "You have to give Elmira a lot of credit. They came up with a hell of a defense and didn't allow us to play our game." said Knisley, "And (Marty) Quincy gave them a great game in goal." Quincy was solid throughout in stopping 49 of 53 shots but was at his acrobatic best when Siskins held a two-man advantage in the third. _ ' . * n ,nA_ “m can“! an that hun- dqulIIGEC III u“. _.... ‘5.

P" -Pop1f "We just have to learn how to put the puck into the net. Another good line for Knisley was the Kevin Konings line which was by far and away the best checking line on the ice. - Supplying strong defensive performances on the blueline were Barden and newcomer Pete Nichol, playing his third game. Nichol, who was the most valuable defenseman in Junior C with Listowel last year, started this season at Michigan Tech but quit recently. His offensive style combined with his excellent skating ability should make him a valu- able prospect on the Siskin blueline. _ He was often able to move Waterloo out of trouble when the Elmira forecheckers pressed relentlessly. "I knew they'd try to forecheck and take away centre ice from us," said Knisley. "And it nearly worked. They had us in their back pockets all night." Thursday in Kitchener the Rangers led 3-1 at one point but siskins fought back to take a 5-4 second period lead. Then Dana Saunders made it 6-4 with a Shorthanded break- away effort early in the third and Waterloo never looked back. _ Other scorers for Waterloo were Harris and Holbrook with two each, Nichol and Dale Wilson. "Friday in New Hamburg had to be one of our best efforts of the year," said Knisley. “You know the size of that" rink, they tHahns) just don't let you get away with any- thing." "But we got a solid game from all three lines and good goaltending from Don (Beauprei to do the trick." It was Beaupre's first shutout of the season. Scoring for Waterloo in that game were Wilson with two. Murray Newman, Wally Baumgartner, Holbrook. Young and Harris. Waterloo is just as busy this week as last.
