NV takes a big
one in Maple Ridge

‘After trailing for most of
the first two periods North»
Van staged a come-from-
..., behind assault in the third
_.’ period; scoring’ two un-
answered goals for a well-
deserved 4-3 win over the

Chiefs in’ Maple Ridge
Saturday night. |

But the big part ‘of the
‘story was the way they did it.

Only six North Van skaters
were on hand for the opening
whistle—the other half of the
team stalled on the road with
car trouble on their way to
Maple Ridge.

But the gutsy North Van
team elected to make a game
of it anyway rather than lose
by default. ;

And, as it turned out, it
was:a very wise move as the
rest of the team arrived for
the second period.

North Van fell behind 1-0
in the first period with Maple
Ridge scoring at the twelve
minute mark.

Three minutes into the

~—* second frame Maple Ridge
pulled ahead 2-0 but two
minutes later Brad Sharp got

the North Van team on the

scoreboard, . scoring from —

Kevin Gouchee and Mark
Powrie. With only five
minutes remaining in the
period Wally Coy combined
with Sharp and .Gouchee to
even the score at 2-2.

But it took the Chiefs only
fifty seconds to strike back
and carry a 3-2 lead into the
final frame.

Two quick goals 53 seconds

later Dan Hogan | flipped -

home the winner with Glenn
Clausen and Sharp drawing
“assists, for a final 4-3 score.

But on Sunday afternoon

in Port Coquitlam it was}
‘quite a different story for the -

West Van Rockets.

While North Van had been
concerned about only. half
their team arriving-Rockets’
goaltender Randy Smith at
times must havé wondered if
any of his team had come to
play, as he was the big factor
in keeping the score respect-

- able in their 6-5 loss to the

Blazers.

While being outshot 19-10
by POCO in the first period,
thanks again to some sensa-
tional goaltending by Smith
the Rockets found them-
‘selves on the long end of a
4-3 score.

But their good fortune was
destined not to last.

After a scoreless second
period the Blazers outscored
. the Rockets 3-1 in the third
period with PoCo’s winning
goal coming with only 48
seconds remaining in the
game.

In. that third period the

Rockets did come to life and
had many scoring opportuni-
ties, outshooting PoCo goal-
tending and came away
empty handed.

Bill Reid scored two goals
for the Rickets in their losing
cause, while Ernie Kostner,
Al Wilson and Mark Piro
added singles.
