less than a minute later to make it
6-4,

In the game’s closing minutes,
Port and Wade Bartok notched

power-play goals for the 8-4 final.

PACED BY a pair of goals by Kel-
ly Lawrence and Dan Payne, the
high-flying North Shore Winter
Club Flames rolled to their 11th
consecutive victory, doubling the
Grandview Steelers 8-4 in West
Coast Junior Hockey League ac-
tion Nov. 21.

In the early going, however, the
Flames’ streak seemed destined to
be frustrated by red-hot Steeler
goaltending.

With the Flames pressing and
dominating play right from the
opening whistle, the Steelers scored
two quick goals against the run of
the game to take a 1-0 lead just
four minutes into the game.

But 24% minutes later, at the
6:32 mark, the first of four Flame
power-play goals got the
homctown team untracked as
Lawrence combined with Ken Say-
age and Dave Port to leave the
Flames trailing by one after one
period while outshooting the
Steelers 20-5.

In a fast-paced second period
with good end-to-end action, the
Flames added two more markers
while holding the Steelers
scoreless.

Lawrence picked up his second
goal of the night seven minutes in-
to the period, sccring again on the
power-play, this time from Payne
and Savage to knot the score at
two.

Andrew Merilees added another
from Port with six minutes re-
maining, for a 3-2 lead.

Four minutes into the third
period, Jeff Lee and Port made a

heads-up passing play to connect
with Willy Erickson on a line

mistake from 15 feet out to put the

After the Steelers had pulled to
within one goal on a power-play
midway through the period,
goaltender Mike Palma fed a
breakaway pass to Payne for the
game’s winner.

With fess than five minutes re-
maining, the two teams traded
goals Jess than a minute apart —

the niglit from Ray Stonehouse at
15:26 and the Steelers countered
